What we're looking for:

• 2-4 years' experience in CRM or customer communications roles
• Strong understanding of lifecycle marketing and campaign optimisation
• Hands-on experience with ESPs/CDPs (Bloomreach would be a bonus)
• A passion for data-driven marketing and testing strategies
• Experience managing and developing people in a fast-paced environment
• Strong stakeholder management skills - confident working cross-functionally and influencing at all levels
• High attention to detail and a drive for continuous improvement
• Ideally, a background in the retail/ B2C consumer sector

Why you'll love it:

• Own exciting projects that stretch your skills and make a real difference
• Enjoy a hybrid working model with a supportive team culture
