* Web & digital marketing integration: Bring a strong understanding of web marketing, user experience, and digital strategy to make sure CRM campaigns work seamlessly with web initiatives. You’ll collaborate with the web team to optimise user journeys across both channels.
* Team leadership & people management: Lead, inspire, and develop a high-performing team, fostering a positive, collaborative environment that encourages innovation and continuous improvement. Set clear objectives, provide regular feedback, and support career development through coaching and mentoring.
* Compliance & governance: Ensure all CRM activities comply with data protection and electronic communication regulations, maintaining high standards of data integrity and security.
