Location: Zinc - London
Compensation: £88,800 / year
Description
💥 Why this role exists:
Zinc’s Content & Authority squad is at the heart of prospects and customers hearing the right message at the right time. We need our first Lifecycle Marketing Manager to join us and own the CRM systems and journeys that progress contacts from Subscriber to MQL and beyond.
🔑 What you’ll own:
CRM operations: HubSpot
- Build and maintain nurture segmentation, workflows, and automations
- Keep lists clean, contacts healthy, and documentation sound
- Design and set up emails (one-off and automated) for sends, using HTML templating you’ll create
Lifecycle Programmes 🔃
- Collaborate with marketers, account managers, and enablement/service specialists on the strategic direction of scalable lifecycle campaigns
- Write, build, deploy, and refine lifecycle email programmes with high ownership and consideration for the end reader’s experience
- Own the operational side of one-off email comms to customers for must-know product or legal updates. Coordinate sequencing and distribution, while legal and AM own the message sign-off.
Performance & Optimisation 🌟
- Define, track, and report on the KPIs that matter for each programme - open rates, click-to-open rates, conversion to MQL, stage progression, and unsubscribe rates
- Test before you ship: establish A/B testing as standard practice across subject lines, content, send cadence, and CTAs
- Turn data into clear recommendations grounded in context, not just numbers - and advocate for changes based on findings
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.
