What we do. Electric Car Leasing

Why we do it. Greener. Fairer. Future.

We’re helping the masses to join the electric driving revolution, by making it cheaper, easier and greener to make the switch.

Over the past 2 years we’ve been scaling our consumer leasing proposition and it’s taking off. We need your help to take us to the next stage of growth.

• Own the consumer marketing strategy for our consumer leasing proposition, “Intelligent EV”; align the strategy with growth milestones, focusing on user acquisition and conversion
• Implement our marketing activity; we run all our digital activity in house so you’ll need to be confident being hands on with campaign management in the channels
• Lead a cross-functional B2C marketing squad to deliver on our growth ambitions, spanning search, CRM, social, price comparison sites, cross-sell channels within the Octopus Group and testing new channels.
• This is an individual contributor role but you’ll have support from the wider marketing team to execute your plans
• Seek out new growth opportunities, finding ways to test them, learn rapidly and scale what works
• Use customer insights and data to hone segmentation and targeting across all channels
• Manage budget and forecasting; own and manage the marketing budget in line with a CPA target, including taking opportunities to spend more if we can, or reduce spend if we need to
• Champion a test-and-learn culture through experimentation and A/B testing to continuously improve campaign performance
• Report on commercial performance to senior stakeholders across the business on an ongoing basis
• Mentor and develop junior team members; provide guidance, coaching, and support to help grow the skills of other marketers on the team

• Proven Growth Marketing experience (minimum of 5 years) ideally in high-growth scale up businesses
• Commercially driven: a track record of driving commercial outcomes through digital marketing activity
• Strong analytical skills and experience with data analysis tools (e.g. GA4, Databricks or similar)
• A data-driven approach: an analytical mindset and strong grasp of performance metrics is crucial
• A passion for customer experience and insight-lead marketing
• Adaptability: we work at a very fast pace so we need you to be collaborative, proactive, and open to ripping up the rulebook and doing things differently
• Excellent communication skills: you need to write compelling briefs for our content team, and on occasion write copy from scratch
• Stakeholder management: you’ll need to be confident in communicating our strategy to senior stakeholders and managing competing priorities from across the business
• Growth mindset: with a focus on building positive feedback loops to continuously improve marketing campaigns and team performance
• Ability to ruthlessly prioritise and think critically: there’s always a lot going on and loads of cool things we could do; you need to be able to decipher which tasks we should do
• CRM experience: a bonus but not essential providing you’re digitally savvy and numerically confident
• A natural curiosity and a passion for staying up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies in marketing

• Wondering what the salary for this role is? Just ask us! On a call with one of our recruiters it\'s something we always cover as we genuinely want to match your experience with the correct salary. The reason why we don\'t advertise is because we honestly have a degree of flexibility and would never want salary to be a reason why someone doesn\'t apply to Octopus - what\'s more important to us is finding the right octofit!
