Interim Crm Campaign Specialist

Interim CRM Campaign Specialist
Location: Central London offices, although role may be able to be appointed as remote - but must be UK based.
Rate: £200 - £250 per day, outside IR35
Term: 2-3 months initially

The reason for this arising is to provide additional resource support to the CRM strategy and campaign planning team whilst the company looks to make a permanent appointment. It’s therefore reasonable to assume there’s the potential for this role to also go permanent, should the role holder be open to considering the transition.

But it’s worth noting, should that happen, there will be an in-office requirement associated with the permanent engagement. This however is potentially not necessary just to cover the interim period.

The team you’ll be joining is responsible for two aspects of their CxM capabilities - CRM strategy and planning, as well as campaign management.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The role you’ll be taking on is a specialist role which will bias towards CRM campaign planning and campaign management, including the execution of multi-channel marketing strategies and tactics for driving customer relationships with the goal of driving customer value growth and engagement.

The emphasis will be on CRM strategies, working on the management of campaign briefs and leading on the process towards getting campaigns up and out the door.

The primary channels are all digital, with email marketing being key, followed by in-app messaging and SMS.

Data will feature highly in your day-to-day - from informing CRM and campaign strategies, looking at target audiences, testing and optimising for performance. Coupled with its utilisation for personalisation within the campaigns themselves through opportunities for dynamic content.

You will also be taking care of the process side of campaign management. Pulling everything together. Getting the assets in line, approving proofs, quality assurance, oversight of creative and going through the quality control process, especially since a lot of communications have a regulatory oversight to them. So they need to be on point, all of the time, which means a strong emphasis on attention to detail.

This isn’t just a production line remit though. There’s a strong emphasis on having a voice. Considering the comms journey and plan. Appreciating whether what’s being proposed will achieve the desired business outcome.

So if you spot a different way, or come up with an idea which could lead to a better, more effective outcome. You’ll be encouraged to test that theory and see whether the CRM journey you’re proposing could deliver a better outcome.

Ultimately the team’s ambition is to deliver a truly world-class CxM capability, and this means giving everyone a voice and ability to share it. Test ideas. Try different things.
