• Collaborate across Merchant Services and wider LBG teams (e.g. Sales, Customer Success, Product, GTM Marketing, Brand and Digital) to deliver a cohesive and sharp demand generation strategy/plan.
• Develop and manage automated, personalised digital engagement journeys and cycles (e.g. welcome, retention, upsell) in partnership with customer engagement teams.
• Develop meaningful reporting dashboards by analysing metrics from multiple sources such as web, paid social, search, organic, campaigns, events, webinars, and more.
• Build a clear reporting structure with tools and processes to measure and communicate the impact of all marketing activities.

What You’ll Need

• Relevant experience in a SaaS‑based scale‑up environment with a strong focus on digital demand generation.
• Deep expertise in marketing operations; experience in commercial operations is a bonus.
• Proven expertise in performance marketing.
• Data‑driven with the ability to translate sophisticated data into actionable insights and business reports.
