We are looking for a CRM Comms / Email Marketing Executive to join our team.

In a typical day, you can expect a good balance of meetings to take briefs from Regional Managers and hands-on execution of email and CRM marketing campaigns.

Gathering requirements will include defining the target audience, understanding the aims of the campaign and agreeing the key messages and timing. The practical campaign execution will involve looking at the data, pulling the relevant contacts to build the lists, creating the email template and building and testing HTML emails in Salesforce Marketing Cloud (previously known as Exact Target), our email software.

This is an excellent opportunity for a CRM Executive, who is looking to expand their skills and build their career with an industry leader.

What you’ll bring to the role

To be considered for the role, you will need to be either a marketer who has already specialized in email/CRM and is looking for a new challenge or a digital marketing generalist with some exposure to email and a good grasp across different digital channels, now looking to focus on this one key channel.

You will be good at asking the right questions to take a full, detailed brief and someone who can build rapport and trust easily. You’ll be logical and methodical in your approach to campaigns, quick to grasp new systems and able to analyse and spot meaningful patterns in data. Your ability to create campaigns that work will come from a combination of gut instinct and effective use of analytics. Copywriting would also be a real plus and so would basic HTML knowledge.

Working on KPIs is something you’ll be used to doing and you may even have experience of setting marketing KPIs for campaigns or initiatives you have worked on. To get the best out of our email software, you’ll either already know the system or be someone who can really demonstrate the determination needed to master technology tools and use them to maximum benefit. Lastly, to thrive in our team and company, you will be someone who will want to learn about the wider business. We don’t work in silos and need people who can grasp the bigger picture.
