  • Oversee CRM platforms and identify opportunities to use automation, AI and predictive capabilities.

  • Expertise in lifecycle strategy, segmentation, personalisation, automation and performance measurement.

  • Strong analytical and commercial judgement, with the ability to turn customer data into action.
  • Experience managing and developing CRM professionals.
