British Heart Foundation (BHF) is embarking on an enterprise-wide transformation project to become a truly customer-centric organisation – where everything we do, culturally, operationally & technically, is designed to help meet audience, prospect and customer need. We will engage, win and retain more customers than ever before, increasing our impact, so we can save and improve more lives.
We are recruiting for a Marketing Automation Specialist on a 12-month fixed term contract to play a critical role in BHF’s transformation to a truly customer-centric organisation by enabling the delivery of automated, personalised, omnichannel journeys.
In this role you’ll specifically focus on translating campaign briefs and technical designs into fully operational workflows within Adobe Campaign V8 (ACC), Adobe Journey Optimiser (AJO), Adobe Real-Time CDP (RT-CDP) and Data Distiller. You will act as the bridge between technical architecture and live execution, ensuring workflows are scalable, efficient and aligned to business needs.
Working within the Digital Content & Journeys team, you’ll complement existing strengths in direct mail, email and SMS execution by introducing deep workflow expertise, enabling the team to move from campaign delivery to end-to-end journey orchestration.
Importantly, you’ll also play a key role in upskilling the wider team, embedding knowledge, standards and best practice for Adobe-based workflow development.
About you
We’re looking for someone with strong hands-on experience in marketing automation and journey orchestration, ideally using Adobe Campaign and/or Adobe Journey Optimiser. You’ll be confident building automated, multi-step, trigger-based journeys and using customer data to create relevant, personalised experiences across large-scale audiences.
You’ll bring a strong understanding of how data, workflows and campaign platforms fit together, with the ability to translate technical documentation, data models and journey designs into practical, working solutions. Experience with Adobe Real-Time CDP, Data Distiller, segmentation, personalisation and audience activation would be especially valuable.
You’ll be technically minded, detail-oriented and comfortable working in complex environments, collaborating closely with data, technology and marketing teams. Just as importantly, you’ll be able to explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical colleagues and help others build confidence in using new tools and ways of working.
We’re also looking for someone organised, collaborative and proactive, with strong problem-solving skills and a focus on creating scalable, reusable approaches. If you’re excited by the opportunity to support an enterprise-wide transformation and help shape smarter, more connected supporter journeys, we’d love to hear from you.
Working arrangements
12-month fixed term contract (from start date). Start date is as soon as possible.
This 12-month fixed-term contract role has been created to support a major digital transformation programme. In this role, you will help deliver the migration of our marketing technology platform from Dotdigital to Adobe, including the redesign of hundreds of campaigns into customer-centric journeys. This significant programme of work will run through a series of sprint cycles until May 2027, followed by a period of optimisation and hypercare until the end of this fixed term contract role.
This is a hybrid role, where your work will be split between your home and at least one day per week, on average, in our London Office. This may vary from time to time, so you will need to work in a flexible way to unlock your best work for our cause.
Our vision is a world free from the fear of heart and circulatory diseases.

The team leads our work to influence policy, build partnerships and raise the profile of public libraries nationally and locally - working with government, partners, the media and our members.
You’ll write with clarity, create simple visuals or video, and use data to improve performance. Crucially, you’ll balance creativity with consistency - working within our tone of voice while handling nuanced and sensitive issues.

Citizens UK
Citizens UK is the UK’s biggest, most diverse and most effective people-powered alliance. We bring communities and local organisations together to work on issues that matter; from campaigning for zebra crossings on dangerous roads, to reforming the immigration system, to the Living Wage campaign. We have a track record of winning change through hundreds of local and national campaigns. We know everyday people have the ability to shape the world around them. We believe that through developing local leaders, we can drive nationwide change and create community-led solutions to big and small problems.
This role will also work closely alongside the Living Wage Foundation communications function. The Living Wage movement began in 2001, after Citizens UK brought together communities in East London to discuss poverty and low pay. The campaign grew in momentum and soon required a mechanism to recognise employers who wanted to join the movement, which saw the establishment of the Living Wage Foundation in 2011. Still part of Citizens UK today, the Living Wage Foundation continues to work with community organisations to make sure the voices of both workers and businesses are part of the Living Wage movement. We now work with over 16,000 employers, benefitting over 475,000 people and winning over £4bn of better wages for people who need it most.

There are various project roles and operational, communication, finance and HR roles that support the organisation and project staff and organisers to deliver on this mission and work. This work is rewarding and can be challenging; it requires a personal commitment to inclusion, a willingness to listen and disagree respectfully, and an interest in working in an organisation where our staff, member institutions and leaders will come from a diversity of backgrounds and often hold views that may be very different from our own. More information about how we operate within this context and build trusted relationships across difference can be found on our website and is covered in induction.
