Digital Campaign and Communications Specialist
We are looking for a Digital Campaign and Communications Specialist to join our marketing team on a 12-month maternity cover contract. This is a full-time, Cambridge-based role working a minimum of three days a week at CDP HQ, at Bourn Quarter just outside Cambridge.
You will be part of a close-knit team where collaboration and trust sit at the heart of how we work. This is a role for someone who takes ownership, communicates openly with colleagues and stakeholders, and adapts quickly when priorities shift. You will shape and deliver content-led campaigns that support our sectors and help drive the sales funnel, working closely with colleagues across Markets, Sales Enablement, and Sales Operations to ensure the client is always front of mind.
The team delivers multi-channel campaigns, and your role will include managing our LinkedIn presence, delivering emails via HubSpot, and helping to ensure our marketing operations run smoothly. It is a hands-on role with plenty of ownership, and an opportunity to help turn ideas into activity that makes a measurable impact.
