As a key member of the marketing team, you'll work closely with the Senior Marketing Manager to support the planning and execution of integrated marketing campaigns to meet ambitious unique users and subscription starts targets.

In being successful in this role, you will:

• Be responsible for the planning, creation, execution and optimisation of customer engagement campaigns using our CRM platform Braze, including but not limited to: case study launches, acquisition campaigns and retention driving activities

• Track and report all related campaign performance metrics and propose opportunities for improvement
• Work in collaboration with our Email Marketing Specialist to optimise campaign targeting, effectiveness and efficiency
• Keep abreast of the latest developments in digital marketing to inform the optimal mix of platform, targeting, placement, creative, messaging and frequency
• Please note, the marketing team sits separate from the social media team at The Business of Fashion. However, we work collaboratively across various projects.

Passionate about digital marketing and understanding of the role of customer engagement in driving subscription growth, you'll have experience of executing and optimising marketing campaigns utilising CRM platforms (such as Braze, Klaviyo or Launchmetrics).

You don't need experience in fashion or beauty, but have an eagerness to learn and develop your knowledge of the industry, combined with the following skills to set you up for success:

• Data literacy, including an understanding of how to track campaign performance, build an Excel report and present campaign outcomes and recommendations in Google Slides
• Excellent project management skills, with the ability to manage tight deadlines and conflicting priorities
• Effective stakeholder management and adaptability to evolving prioritisations — you have a positive attitude and a willingness to work as part of a small marketing team in which priorities and workload sometimes shift
• Flexibility to 'pitch in' with workload across the team as needed

You'll know you're successful when...

• All campaigns are executed on time and in line with brand standards
• Key campaign and subscriptions metrics are consistently reported, and improving
• We have a growing base of high-quality subscribers and engaged registered users, effectively tracked and nurtured through the funnel
