Role Purpose

The CRM Manager – EMEA will lead the strategy and execution of Funko’s CRM and lifecycle marketing programs across the EMEA region, with a primary focus on the UK market. This role is responsible for driving customer engagement, retention, and lifetime value through localized, data-driven, and personalized fan experiences across email, SMS (including WhatsApp) and emerging owned channels.

  • Develop and execute EMEA-specific lifecycle marketing strategies that drive engagement, retention, and revenue growth.
  • Own the regional CRM calendar and roadmap, ensuring alignment with EMEA commercial priorities while maintaining consistency with global campaigns and brand standards.
  • Localize global campaigns and lifecycle programs to reflect regional nuances, audience behavior, and cultural moments.
  • Partner cross-functionally with global and regional teams (acquisition, digital, customer service) to deliver a seamless end-to-end customer experience.
  • Leverage CDP and first-party data to define advanced segmentation, personalization, and automation strategies that drive LTV growth.
  • Own the regional experimentation roadmap, embedding a test-and-learn approach to continuously optimize performance and inform global best practices.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
