Salary: £60,000 – £70,000 base salary plus Stock options

Benefits: 27 days leave, healthcare, pension, EV car scheme, Childcare discounts and more

This is one of those roles which is quite unique, as the company is already at a reasonable size, yet the foundations have only recently been put in place to start building a modern, truly effective CRM programme which can elevate the company’s operations across channels.

It’s a high-growth, consumer-focused business which generates around £100m+ turnover and operates across over 100 venues around the UK is looking to hire a Head of CRM into a newly created role.

Zoho CRM has recently been implemented, and some email journeys created. However there’s still lots to build, and some of the initial structure established. But the real work starts now.

Customer journeys need designing and building, taking them from EVP through to a much more sophisticated operation. Segmentation needs defining. Contact strategy needs shaping, and personalisation needs layering in across the full lifecycle.

It’s a blank canvas in many ways, but not from scratch.

The role

This is a hands-on leadership position. You’ll be responsible for both the strategy and the execution.

You’ll take ownership of how the business engages with its customers from first enquiry through to long-term retention. That means building, testing and optimising CRM journeys, while also shaping the broader approach to customer communication.

Whilst the primary channel for outbound CRM will be email. They’re also engaging across Whatsapp and SMS, and there’s a customer service and customer engagement team who also operate over telephony and Whatsapp channels too.

These teams will be part of your direct reporting structure, it’s a function of 7 in total. With you handling this relatively small inbound contact team, ensuring solid alignment between automated journeys which push outbound and the real-world inbound customer interactions which come back from them, ensuring the journeys are effective in delivering the appropriate KPI’s.

What you’ll be doing

• Owning and evolving the CRM platform (Zoho), building journeys, workflows and data structure
• Designing end-to-end customer journeys across acquisition, onboarding and retention
• Developing segmentation and contact strategy to improve relevance and conversion
• Building and optimising email and SMS channels, with a strong focus on test-and-learn
• Introducing personalisation across different customer touchpoints
• Using data and insight to identify opportunities to improve engagement and lifetime value
• Creating reporting frameworks to track performance across conversion, retention and customer satisfaction
• Managing and developing a contact centre team handling inbound enquiries
• Aligning CRM activity with wider marketing, operational and commercial objectives

What they’re looking for

• Strong CRM background with a solid mix of CRM strategy and planning coupled with the ability to get down and dirty with email builds - experience building journeys and automations hands-on
• Experience with Zoho or similar platforms (Salesforce, HubSpot, Dynamics)
• Comfortable operating across both strategy and execution
• Strong understanding of segmentation, testing and optimisation
• Experience managing or working closely with a contact centre or customer service function
• Commercially aware, with a focus on conversion, retention and customer value
• High energy, adaptable, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment

Why this role?

The business is in a period of rapid growth and transformation.

It has the scale of an established organisation, but still operates with a very entrepreneurial mindset. Things move quickly. There’s room to shape decisions. And there’s a genuine opportunity to build something that didn’t previously exist in a structured way.

If you enjoy creating order from complexity and seeing the direct impact of your work, this will appeal.

**Does require travel 2-3 days per week to visit sites around the country. So you do need to have a valid driving license.**

This is a brand new role within a growing UK organisation centred around providing services to young families. It’s part of the marketing team, responsible for creating local marketing plans and strategies for venues – these are often tactical marketing plans with a focus on local communities – these can range from multi-channel campaigns using highly targeted media within local communities, to engaging with employers, community hubs and businesses in the area which will help drive local brand awareness of the venue, which in turn generates new customer enquiries. These are often multi-channel and a mix of on and offline campaigns.

To be successful in this kind of role, you’ve got to the be kind of person who enjoys being out in the world, speaking with people, spotting patterns, joining the dots and giving venue managers the kind of practical ideas that make a measurable difference to how they attract new customers – with practical, workable marketing toolkits they’re able to implement at a local level.

It is a rare mix. Field based. Creative. Commercial. And full of variety.

What you will be doing

You’ll spend a good chunk of your time visiting sites based around the UK – as far north as Shropshire, as south as London.

Sitting with managers of the venues. Understanding why enquiries are flowing or slowing. Figuring out what will help them attract more families. Turning interest into engagement, and engagement into bookings – coming up with ideas which could work for their location and project managing them through a central marketing team, there to support you with getting things from the idea stage through to delivery.

Some days it will be about improving visibility in a local area. Maybe that involves small scale creative campaigns - poster placements, partnerships with nearby employers or clever community outreach ideas that highlights the brand and its benefits to the right audiences in a meaningful way.

Other days might involve supporting open days and events. Helping managers find and organise specialist partners. Creating a network of experts they can draw upon whenever they want something a bit different.

What makes this interesting

There is a lot of freedom to experiment. Fresh thinking is welcomed. The organisation values someone who can take a challenge, break it down, and recommend something practical that fits the local context rather than relying on cookie cutter solutions.

You won’t be stuck behind a screen all week. You’ll travel, meeting a variety of people. You’ll get to see first-hand the impact your ideas have.

And you’ll work with a central marketing team that appreciates clear insight from the field. You deliver a sharp brief, they’ll bring it to life.

Who this suits

• Someone with a solid background in marketing who enjoys being out on the ground rather than confined to strategy docs in an office all day.
• Experience within Retail Marketing, Marketing/Brand Activation, Local Marketing, Shopper Marketing, Field Marketing (B2C / D2C) environments
• Got to have experience delivering marketing campaigns and activations for multi-site environments
• Someone who can switch effortlessly between creative problem solving and commercial reasoning.
• Someone who likes people. Because you’ll be meeting a lot of them.
• Someone with the confidence to advise managers who don’t come from a marketing background.
• Someone organised, adaptable and comfortable travelling to different parts of the UK each week.

Experience in field marketing, local marketing, community engagement or multi-site environments will all translate well.

A full UK driving licence is essential – as is the right to live and work in the UK.

Location: Hemel Hempstead (Hybrid – 3 days per week)
Salary: £45,000 + 15% bonus + benefits

We are looking to appoint a PPC Manager to help evolve the paid search capability of a high-profile consumer-facing business, which operates in a fast paced dynamic trading environment.

On paper, the role talks about ownership, scale and big budget responsibility (in the millions) covering multiple product lines. In reality, it’s a genuine step-up opportunity.

However, they’re not expecting a finished PPC leader to step into this role, but someone who is on that journey to hopefully become one - and who will see the potential through the scale of this opportunity to help you get there.

This is more positioned at an experienced Senior Executive who’s ready to take that next step and grow into a broader, more strategic remit over time.

You’ll be working closely and be coached by a highly experienced and decorated Head of Search Marketing – someone who themselves has been recognised by Google as one of the top players within this space. Gaining exposure to large-scale budgets, advanced bidding strategies and cross-channel planning, while gradually building out your own ownership in the role.

The company you’ll be doing this for is a big brand within the hospitality and leisure industry. They’re recognised for handling campaigns in-house, which is why being technically astute and competent with platforms like SA360 will be important to your success in this role.

What you’ll be doing

• Supporting the planning, management and optimisation of PPC campaigns across Google and Microsoft Ads
• Working with a range of campaign types including Performance Max and AI Max,  automated bidding strategies focused on ROAS
• Analysing performance data and identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and scale
• Managing budgets across daily, weekly and quarterly cycles, ensuring strong control and reporting
• Collaborating with internal teams and stakeholders to align PPC activity with wider marketing objectives
• Presenting performance insights in a clear, commercially meaningful way

What they’re looking for

• Solid grounding in PPC, ideally from a Senior Executive or equivalent role – either agency or end brand side
• Must have hands-on experience across Google Ads (and ideally Microsoft Ads), including campaign optimisation and bid strategies, and good knowledge of working with SA360
• Strong analytical capability, comfortable working with data and translating it into action
• Confidence working with spreadsheets, dashboards and tools such as Google Analytics
• Ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Someone who wants to step up, take on more ownership, and grow into a management-level position

Why this role?

• Clear progression path into a more senior, strategic PPC leadership role
• Exposure to large budgets and complex campaign structures early in your development
• Support from an experienced leader who will actively help you grow
• A business that invests in learning, development and long-term career pathways

Package

• £45,000 base salary
• 15% bonus
• Pension and life assurance
• Discount platform covering holidays, utilities, retail and more
• EV car scheme
• Additional lifestyle and wellbeing benefits

If you’re happiest when you’re deep in platforms, pulling levers that shift performance of digital campaigns, this one will feel like home.

If you’ve maybe begun your career agency side working in a specialist programmatic executive remit, and your next step is either to Snr Exec or Account Management, it will seem like more of the same, just with a higher degree of autonomy. Whereas, taking this route will give you added strings to your bow, broadening your career as well as technical skills, giving you that opportunity to become a more rounded digital performance marketer.

Why? Because this isn't a role just doing programmatic - it's also giving you the opportunity to learn Paid Social as well.

This opportunity is with a major UK consumer brand in the leisure and hospitality space working as part of their performance marketing function. It's a small team, but one with a high degree of importance within their digital performance function. Since they drive a lot of leads across the company's product categories.

This will ultimately be your first potential step from single channel specialist into a broader ‘performance marketing’ direction.

The role in real terms

Programmatic campaign management – this will be from the hands-on set up, running, monitoring, optimisation and reporting – so everything you’d expect from a technical perspective and, needs someone who really is fluent with a platform like DV360 in order to deliver effectively.

Being technically proficient here is important, as you will be handling everything end-to-end.

Paid Social campaigns – if you’ve handled these before, great – but if not, this is the learning opportunity with this role, and will include the relevant platforms they’re built and executed over. Both campaign channels will have a clear focus on driving high-quality traffic and strong outcomes, not vanity metrics.

These guys tend to play with big budgets across their performance marketing channels (in the 8 digit space), so you can expect the campaigns you’ll be working on are going to be highly visible.

What that tends to look like day-to-day:

• Planning, launching and optimising Programmatic activity with clear performance goals
• Managing campaigns across key platforms including DV360, Campaign Manager, and Google Ads
• Monitoring pacing, budgets and delivery, then making smart changes based on what the data is saying
• Working with creative and brand stakeholders so messaging, formats and assets are fit for purpose (and actually drive results)
• Keeping reporting useful and actionable: performance updates, insights, learnings, and next steps
• Supporting Paid Social activity where needed, but with the role weighted clearly towards Programmatic
• Partnering with a senior channel lead, learning fast and contributing to how the channel evolves

This isn’t one of those roles where Programmatic sits in the background as an afterthought. It’s central, visible, and taken seriously.

You’ll get:

• Proper ownership in Programmatic campaigns, not just “assisting”
• A chance to become sharper on optimisation, testing and measurement
• Exposure to wider commercial thinking, not just platform work

You’ll like this role because it has momentum.

You’re not being hired to “maintain”. You’re being hired to improve and grow the channels, and you’ll be surrounded by teams that care about creative quality and performance insight.

If you’re thinking longer-term, this role sets you up nicely for:

• stepping into broader channel ownership
• developing stronger commercial confidence
• becoming a more rounded performance marketer (Paid Social + Programmatic is a strong combo)

What we’re looking for

Ideal background:

• A couple of years commercial experience with hands-on Programmatic campaign skills in a Consumer facing industry
• Sound knowledge of DV360 – (knowledge of Campaign Manager, and Google Ads is a plus)
• Strong with numbers and genuinely comfortable working with data day to day
• Organised, detail-focused, and able to keep campaigns running cleanly
• Confident using Excel and reporting performance clearly
• Comfortable dealing with multiple stakeholders (and keeping things moving)

Bonus points if you’ve worked in a fast-paced consumer brand environment, or even from a digital agency doing this for a client, or maybe even have a broader view of digital marketing beyond your core channels.

Working pattern & package

• Hybrid working: 3 days a week in the office, 2 from home
• £35,000 to £40,000 base
• 12% bonus, Pension, Healthcare, Holiday discounts and additional benefits
• Onsite parking available

There’s a certain kind of person who loves detail. Who notices when something sounds a bit off, or when a line in an advert might not quite hold up under the rules. Someone who reads both the message and the meaning.

If that’s you, this role might feel like home.

You’d be joining a trusted team that sits right at the heart of things – reviewing customer communications before they go out into the world. It’s a mixture of understanding what’s needed within a communication to ensure it remains compliant under FCA rules, whilst also being clear to the reader/receiver too. Making sure what they say to customers is not only fair and accurate, but genuinely engaging.

You’ll be the person who helps marketing and product teams strike the right balance between warmth and accuracy. One minute, reviewing a financial promotion for a new insurance product. The next, advising a team on how to make something clearer, simpler, better perhaps within the terms and conditions.

This isn’t a role for someone who wants to hide behind rules. It’s for someone who understands why those rules matter – who can explain, challenge and guide others towards getting it right.

Here’s what you’ll bring:

• Experience reviewing financial promotions, customer communications, or even a compliance background – naturally to do this, you must have a background within insurance, financial services or another consumer facing regulated industry where the communications must be clear and correct.
• A solid grasp of FCA, ASA and Consumer Duty standards for marketing content and copy
• The ability to influence and collaborate with different teams
• A sharp eye for language and a steady hand under pressure

And what’s in it for you:

• £40–45k base plus 10% bonus
• Great benefits including pension, healthcare, etc.
• Hybrid working – just two days a week in an office close to Tunbridge Wells
• Parking on a first-come basis, or access via local train station too

It’s a chance to work for a respected financial services provider where words really matter, and good judgement is valued.

If you’ve ever read a piece of customer communication and thought, “That could be clearer”, this might be your kind of challenge.

A high-growth, multi-site organisation is looking for a Commercial Analyst to join its FP&A team. This is one of those roles where you’re not just producing numbers, you’re shaping decisions. The output lands with senior leaders, working with many of them as a business partner, and regularly informs board-level conversations, so it suits someone who likes their work to actually go somewhere.

You’ll be the person who can look at a tangle of operational activity and translate it into clear commercial insight. What’s driving revenue? Where is margin leaking? Are we resourcing in line with demand? And when someone asks “what happens if we change X?”, you’ll have a model (and a point of view) ready.

What you’ll be doing

• Turning operational and financial data into insight on revenue performance, labour efficiency, utilisation/capacity, and OpEx drivers.
• Building and refining a set of commercial KPIs that leaders can trust and use (no more debates about definitions).
• Creating business cases and scenario models to support investment decisions and big initiatives, then tracking ROI afterwards to see what really landed.
• Answering “what if” questions around pricing, wage pressure, staffing mix, utilisation shifts, new site impacts, and operational or policy changes.
• Producing Tableau dashboards and reporting that focus on drivers and actions, not just a rear-view summary.
• Working closely with operational stakeholders, presenting findings clearly, and helping teams understand the commercial levers they can pull.

Tools, data, and the reality of it

You’ll need to be strong in Excel (proper modelling, not just spreadsheets) and confident with Tableau. Data won’t always arrive perfectly packaged, so being comfortable with a bit of wrangling and sense-checking is important. If you enjoy improving reporting and making things cleaner over time, you’ll probably like this.

Experience needed

• Commercial analytics experience in FP&A / Commercial Finance / Finance Business Partnering
• Strong Excel modelling (driver-based models, scenarios, sensitivities, clean structure)
• Experience building business cases and tracking outcomes (ROI/payback, benefits realisation)
• Comfortable analysing revenue and cost drivers, ideally with exposure to labour/efficiency or operational drivers
• Tableau experience building dashboards that answer commercial questions
• Confident partnering with senior stakeholders and landing insights clearly
• Happy working with imperfect data and improving reporting/processes over time
