• Provide advice and guidance on ABM, being a key digital strategic partner supporting UK ABM activation and channels
• Oversee MarTech tools deployment and adoption in UK (including Eloqua), ensuring best practices and governance

• Coordinate with the Regional Digital Lead for escalations and strategic input, and with central platform teams (AEM, SEO/GEO, Analytics, Eloqua, Paid Media, Campaigns & Programs) to translate central best practice into local delivery
• Participate in the structured monthly J10 service touchpoints (strategy session, performance review, central updates, and paid media review), acting as quality controller and strategist over AI‑assisted routine tasks
• Collaborate closely with offshore teams to execute digital strategies, providing clear direction, excellent communication skills and ensuring rigorous quality control
• Complete a structured handover with the outgoing UK Digital Marketing Lead prior to the start of leave, and support a structured handback at the end of the 12-month contract

• Highly analytical with proven ability
