Shoeburyness, Essex | £32,000 - £36,000 + Benefits | Flexible Working Available
Are you a confident communications professional who can write engaging content, manage CRM campaigns and turn performance data into meaningful action?
Do you enjoy working across different audiences, taking ownership of projects and seeing your ideas move quickly from concept to delivery?
CKB Recruitment is delighted to be working with an established and entrepreneurial insurance business to recruit a Communications & CRM Executive for its growing team in Shoeburyness.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a forward-thinking organisation where fresh ideas are encouraged, initiative is rewarded and you will have genuine ownership of the communications and CRM activity you deliver.
The Business
Our client is an established insurance group with 25 years of experience across gadget, travel and ticket protection insurance.
The business manages a portfolio of embedded insurance products and direct-to-consumer brands, working with long-standing commercial partners while continuing to grow its digital presence.
Its model is built around managed services, digital platforms and delivering an excellent customer experience.
The culture is centred around authenticity, transparency and genuine empowerment. Employees are encouraged to share ideas, work collaboratively and approach challenges with curiosity.
The Opportunity
This is a varied communications and CRM-focused role covering both business-to-business and consumer activity.
You will take responsibility for the day-to-day delivery of external communications, CRM campaigns and performance reporting across several brands and products.
You will work closely with the senior leadership team, but this is very much a hands-on position. You will be expected to take ownership, manage your workload and ensure communications are delivered accurately, professionally and on time.
The role would suit someone who is comfortable switching between different audiences and formats, from writing a customer retention email to preparing a partner announcement or supporting an industry event.
