🧑🏻‍💻 About the role

First things first: you want to know what you’re actually applying for. It’s impossible to capture every nuance of a role – especially at a rapidly growing company like Mews – but if we had to distill it down to a job description (which we do, because this is a job description), it would be this: Your mission, should you choose to accept it: we are looking for an ambitious and results-driven CRM and Lifecycle Marketing Manager. The role will take the lead on all email marketing campaigns and lifecycle programming to provide our sales team with the best qualified leads.

You’ll focus on educating prospects along their journey, helping them understand the value that Mews can bring to their business. You’ll help take our marketing strategy to the next level by creating meaningful, multi-channel experiences for prospects that will have a significant impact on the company's bottom line. You’ll work closely with the marketing, customer success and sales teams to create a consistent journey for prospects.

What else? You must have strong business acumen and operational aptitude, exceptional people and communication skills, and the ability to work collaboratively with Mewsers (yes, that’s what we call ourselves) across all levels of experience and role. You should have a hypothesis-driven approach to problem solving, strong quantitative skills, and feel comfortable addressing broad-reaching and ambiguous questions.

This role is very visible within the organization and will have significant room for growth. Mews offers flexible work locations, with the ability to work remotely or make use of Mews offices in Paris, London, Prague and Amsterdam. Some travel will be required for this role.

A snapshot of what you’ll be doing in your day-to-day:

• Create the email marketing strategy and implementing campaigns from planning through to creation, segmentation, review and launch.
• Own key lifecycle marketing campaigns such as nurture flows and post-conversion communications, from copywriting and proofreading to segmentation creation and reporting.
• Partner with other departments to drive event and webinar attendance, and increase lead conversion.
• Develop in-depth knowledge of our prospects, their buyer journey, buyer personas, and jobs-to-be-done.
• Effectively coordinate complex lifecycle workflows end-to-end to create a coherent lifecycle strategy across the buyer journey.
• Establish rigorous A/B testing processes to test creative design, content, email cadence, and timing to constantly improve performance.
• Work hand in hand with the SEO, demand gen, communication and product teams to prioritize the content to be created according to the personas identified.
• Run upsell and cross-sell campaigns in partnership with the sales and customer success teams.
• Report on campaign performance to understand their effectiveness and identify opportunities for improving key metrics.

• Deep understanding of complex, multi-channel user journeys and funnels, sales cycles and product lifecycles, and their respective pressures on the marketing organization to drive demand and revenue.

Who are Mews?

We want to get to know you, so it’s only fair we tell you a little bit about ourselves first. We were founded in 2012 by a team of former hoteliers, and since then we’ve been transforming hospitality for both hotel staff and guests.

Essentially, Mews is a powerful software platform that acts as a central nervous system for hotels, hostels, apartments and more. We use smart tech and automation to make day-to-day operations easier for hoteliers, so they can focus on the thing that really matters: providing remarkable guest experiences.

More than 2,000 properties across 60+ countries are powered by Mews, with more joining every week. Bookings, payments, operations, guest management – everything a hotel needs to operate can be done through our solution. We work with some amazing hotels, including Sage Hospitality Group, Machefert Group, The Student Hotel, and Tsogo Sun Hotels.

Life at Mews

That’s what we do, but what about who we are? Mews’ culture is special and difficult to capture in words, which makes writing this tricky. You'll experience the freedom to be yourself and the ability to watch your ideas come to life. You’ll have an open line of communication and an open invitation to after-work drinks, be they virtual or in-person. Sometimes the work can be challenging and there can be a lot of it, but you’ll always be able to rely on those around you.

Yes, we’re ambitious and we move fast, but we know the value of fun and taking a breather. Every month we have a Wellness Wednesday, a day off that you can use to boost your health, whether that’s a long lie-in, a trip to the gym, or anything in between. We have slack channels for almost every interest imaginable, and an all-company meeting every Friday gives you the chance to ask any question to our leadership team. Oh, and we love our pets. To get more of an idea what life at Mews is like (and to see dozens of cute cats, dogs, and hamsters), check out our Instagram.

We’re guided by our five key values; if you see yourself in them, it’s time to get in touch.

Open 📖

We’re an open book. We share our work and experiences with one another, as well as our community.

Human 👤

You can’t take risks if you’re afraid to fail. We all make mistakes. The key is to learn, get feedback and improve.

✊🏼 Everyone is welcome at Mews

This part is straightforward. We’re an equal opportunity employer and truly value diversity within our company. We never have and never will discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status – or anything else for that matter.
