The Opportunity

This is a hands-on CRM role with real ownership.

You’ll take the lead on the Owner CRM calendar and help shape how we attract, onboard, engage, retain and grow our relationships with holiday homeowners across the Forge Holiday Group portfolio.

Working across brands including Sykes Holiday Cottages, Menai Holidays, Lakelovers and UK Caravans 4 Hire, you’ll turn insight into engaging campaigns and lifecycle journeys using Klaviyo - from initial concept and audience targeting through to build, launch, measurement and optimisation.

You’ll work closely with Data & Analytics, Marketing and external partners, using data, testing and customer insight to continually improve performance.

And because this is a small, focused Owner CRM team, your contribution will be visible. You’ll have the opportunity to influence how we work, champion best practice and make a genuine impact on the customer experience and commercial performance.

You’ll also deputise for the CRM Manager when required, giving you the opportunity to broaden your experience and develop your leadership skills.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Own and optimise key owner lifecycle journeys, from acquisition and onboarding through to engagement, referral and retention.
• Build and deliver CRM campaigns and automated journeys in Klaviyo across multiple brands.
• Use data, insight and testing to improve engagement, conversion and retention.
• Manage audience segmentation, targeting and campaign quality, ensuring communications are accurate and on-brand.
• Own the Owner CRM campaign calendar and work across multiple priorities.
• Work with Data & Analytics and our third-party telemarketing agency to support effective lead generation and campaign delivery.
• Represent Owner CRM across wider projects and stakeholder groups, deputising for the CRM Manager when required.
• Share learnings and champion a Grow & Learn approach across the wider CRM and Regional Marketing teams.

What You’ll Bring

We’re looking for someone who knows CRM inside out and is comfortable getting stuck into both the detail and the bigger picture.

You’ll Have:

• Strong hands-on CRM experience, including building and optimising automated journeys and campaigns.
• Experience using an enterprise ESP or marketing automation platform; Klaviyo experience is preferred.
• Strong understanding of multi-channel marketing, including email, mobile apps, SMS/WhatsApp and direct mail.
• Excellent data and analytical skills, with experience using insight to improve lead generation, conversion and loyalty/retention.
• A good understanding of email deliverability, consent, preference management and UK GDPR.
• Confident stakeholder management.
• Experience working with external agencies or suppliers.

It would be great if you also have:

• Experience in travel, tourism or hospitality.
• Experience working across multiple brands.
• B2B or full-lifecycle sales campaign experience.
• HTML and CSS knowledge for email troubleshooting.
• Experience supporting or mentoring a more junior colleague.

Why You'll Love Working Here:

We want our people to enjoy being part of Forge Holiday Group - and we think our benefits are a pretty good place to start.

• Annual bonus scheme based on company performance
• 33 days’ holiday(including bank holidays), plus up to 5 extra with long service.
