LOCATION

We have a hybrid working experience that blends the positives of working alongside colleagues at our onsite locations, together with working from home. That means you'll work at an onsite location on fixed, 'anchor', days of the week, for a minimum of two days a week.

ROLE MISSION

As an experienced and expert Customer Lifecycle Marketing Manager, you'll quickly slot right into this fast-paced, deadline-driven client team, leading and delivering multi-variant marketing communications across a variety of digital marketing channels, both paid and owned. You'll have the right skills and experience to ensure you hit the ground running and add value from the off. You'll be comfortable analysing key performance metrics and identifying optimisation and testing opportunities. You'll have experience defining audiences and collaborating with targeting teams to reach relevant prospects. Ideally, you'll also be able to prompt AI tools to create effective short form copy.

You'll lead the campaign delivery lifecycle – from ideation/discovery, through planning and prioritisation, to solution design and in-channel execution. You'll create and produce brilliantly effective campaigns that differentiate from their competitors through superior targeting, communication strategy, tech innovation and creative quality.

THIS ROLE IS RIGHT FOR YOU IF...

• You're a highly collaborative self-starter who's used to juggling multiple projects in a busy environment and skilled at running projects efficiently from end to end.
• You'll have great communication and organisational skills, work well within a team, and have client-side experience across a range of paid and owned digital performance marketing channels including video, display, social, radio, press, email, and DOOH.
• Ideally, you'll have Financial Services experience (if not, in telecoms, utilities or other comparable industries) and be skilled at managing high numbers of senior stakeholders within regulated environments.
• You're someone who is confident, smart, enthusiastic and proactive with great communication skills, both written and verbal.
• You'll be a self-starter with strong and positive energy; someone who will work collaboratively with everyone who'll support them in delivering campaigns.

• Managing key relationships – building and maintaining relationships with UK Digital, Product and Marketing teams, as well as various external agency partners
• Reporting on performance – analysing and presenting campaign performance and testing outcomes to stakeholders
• Being genuinely collaborative – working inside and outside the team to help make the Performance Marketing team a great place to work
• Fostering strong stakeholder relationships – maintaining regular dialogue with key stakeholders and keeping them informed on all key milestones and outcomes, with clear recommendations to drive performance uplift
• Raising issues proactively – addressing any challenges in a timely and rational manner, ensuring the highest standards of control and governance
• Bringing proactive opportunities – acting as a self-starter, bringing solutions to key stakeholders as opposed to waiting for direction
• Championing customer-first thinking – sharing experience from a customer-driven organisation with a customer first mindset
• Taking ownership for risk management – managing risk and strengthening controls in relation to the work you do
• Ensuring accuracy and quality – maintaining high levels of accuracy across all communications and ensuring that QA is never compromised
