Customer Data Manager, Hawkstone

Hawkstone is an exciting, dynamic start-up that was recently recognised as one of the fastest growing businesses in the UK by The Times. They are on a mission to bring premium beer and cider from the Cotswolds to UK consumers (and hopefully beyond). They are rapidly expanding their product range, brand recognition and customer base.

T&P has been working with Hawkstone for over a year with a dedicated team working across all of their marketing functions and we are looking to expand this team - that’s where you come in! We need an experienced Customer Data Manager to design, implement, and optimise data processes across both B2B and B2C platforms. The key objective is to ensure our marketing data is of the highest quality, seamlessly integrated with our marketing systems, and leveraged to deliver personalised customer experiences. This role is critical in driving data-driven decision-making and supporting our growth objectives through enhanced customer engagement and retention strategies.

The marketing team is based in London, while the Hawkstone HQ is in the Cotswolds. You’ll be working with a small dynamic team of entrepreneurially minded individuals - including a marketing Platform Product Manager (Klaviyo), a CRM Campaign Manager and a passionate email creative team - and work closely with the Commercial team and experienced data analysts.

You’ll have a lot of autonomy and ownership of the end-to-end data management process, as well as managing third-party agencies to ensure GDPR compliance and contribute to our B2B data and lead management strategy to drive higher levels of effectiveness.
