Job description

Help Us Shape Smarter Customer Connections

We’re looking for a CRM Manager who’s as curious about customer behaviour as they are passionate about personalisation. You’ll play a leading role in designing meaningful, data‑led customer journeys — helping us build loyalty, drive engagement, and grow value across our customer base.

This is a hands‑on role with a real opportunity to shape a longer term strategy, roll your sleeves up in Adobe Marketo Engage, and work cross‑functionally with marketers, analysts, creatives and tech teams. If you love improving processes, championing data‑driven decision‑making, and crafting communications that actually connect — we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

• Own and deliver the CRM strategy — focused on acquisition, onboarding, retention, and reactivation for our B2B and B2C customers
• Build and optimise customer journeys across email, SMS, in‑app, and direct mail — using Marketo automation to deliver timely, relevant experiences
• Lead the campaign roadmap and marketing ops processes — ensuring efficiency, quality, and impact
• Collaborate with stakeholders across marketing, data, digital, IT and external agencies to bring campaigns to life
• Use segmentation, insights and performance reporting to constantly evolve what we do — using test‑and‑learn as second nature

What you’ll bring - Must haves

• Proven experience in CRM, lifecycle marketing or customer engagement roles (ideally in B2B or retail/trade environments)
• Hands‑on experience managing marketing automation platforms — especially Adobe Marketo Engage
• Strong knowledge of segmentation, campaign management, lifecycle programmes and CRM data strategy
• A process mindset — comfortable designing and delivering roadmaps, improving workflows and managing complex projects

What you’ll bring - Nice to Haves

• Knowledge of Salesforce or Microsoft Dynamics integrations
• Familiarity with GDPR, data governance and email marketing best practice
• Experience with multi‑channel marketing tools (e.g., direct mail, in‑app messaging, SMS)
