You’ll manage a Marketing Automation Specialist and support the wider Digital Customer Journey Production (DCJP) team by sharing knowledge and building capability. You’ll lead on performance reporting using tools like Google Analytics and Power BI, and champion a test-and-learn approach to keep improving how we engage our audiences.

- Extensive experience in designing and delivering automated campaigns across email, SMS, and direct mail using platforms such as Adobe (preferred), Dotdigital, Salesforce, or HubSpot, and applying MarTech capabilities to engage, retain, cross-sell, and upsell.
- Advanced analytical skills, including working with large datasets, building audience segments, and using tools such as GA4, Looker Studio, and Power BI to evaluate and optimise performance.
- Creative and content technical confidence, with a proven ability to develop impactful copy and digital content using tools like Photoshop and Movable Ink, while ensuring brand consistency and audience engagement.
