About Sanctuary
Sanctuary Graduates & Apprentices is a specialist early-careers recruitment and talent partner. We help leading employers attract, assess and hire graduates and apprentices through retained recruitment, RPO and targeted attraction services. We are an established, profitable SME with ambitious growth plans and a strong reputation for university reach, diversity and consultative delivery.
Role Purpose
This is a hands-on, commercially focused marketing role. The Marketing Lead will own Sanctuary’s email marketing engine—building campaigns, automated journeys and nurture programmes that generate engagement, meetings and pipeline for the commercial team. The role will also support content, website, webinars and sales enablement, but it is not primarily a broad brand-building or PR position.
Core Responsibilities
Email Marketing & Automation
- Plan, write, build and deliver targeted B2B email campaigns across agreed client segments and ideal customer profiles.
- Create and optimise automated nurture journeys based on prospect behaviour, content engagement, events and lifecycle stage.
- Manage segmentation, data quality, testing, deliverability and campaign scheduling within the email platform and CRM.
- Identify engaged and high-intent prospects, route them to sales and ensure follow-up activity is timely and measurable.
- Track open, click, reply, meeting and conversion performance, using results to improve messaging and campaign effectiveness.
- Build client retention, cross-sell and re-engagement campaigns alongside new-business prospecting activity.
