Head of CLM (Customer Lifecycle Marketing)
Hemel Hempstead, Hybrid (3 days/ week in office)
Annual salary + bonus and benefits
About the Role
Due to an internal move, we're looking for a Head of CLM to own the transformation of how we manage our customer journey—from caravan sales leads through to guest retention. You'll lead a team and stay genuinely involved in the detail, bringing a calm approach to a broad remit where last-minute requests and emergencies are part of the landscape. This is an ideal role for a leader looking to take their first step into a Head of CLM role.
What You Will Be Doing
- Leading the CLM strategy and owning its execution across email, CRM, and customer communications
- Nurturing our caravan sales funnel once leads are captured, optimising on-park appointments and sales conversion
- Managing all multichannel communication to holidaymakers, prospects, and caravan sales leads - ensuring campaigns are data-driven, segmented, and results-focused
- Developing your team to deliver consistently high standards whilst staying involved in the strategic detail yourself
- Driving optimisation across the pre-arrival guest journey and owner communications, working closely with data management and the wider Performance Marketing team
What We’d Like You To Bring
- Proven CRM experience with senior email/CLM marketing expertise, including automation; comfortable with ESPs and markup languages (EJS, ERB, Jinja, etc.)
- Strong stakeholder management skills, strategic thinking, and meticulous attention to detail - you're technical, highly analytical, results-driven, and bring insights to the table
- Proven team leadership experience through coaching and development, with experience managing technical teams and a continuous improvement mindset
- A calm nature and genuine interest in the work - you thrive in fast-paced environments, unfazed by emergencies and flexible priorities
- Demonstrable ability to nurture high-value sales funnels and understand customer databases deeply
- An understanding of what an AI-enabled guest journey looks like and how to build one
- Travel/hospitality sector experience, or experience of sectors where time-critical communications are commonplace, would be advantageous
