Working across Marketing, Digital, Technology, Data and business teams, you will bring deep Marketing Technology experience to a major transformation initiative. You will help oversee the effective implementation and embedding of enterprise MarTech capabilities, supporting improved customer journeys, campaign automation, personalisation and marketing effectiveness.
This is a specialist Marketing Technology leadership role sitting within a wider project delivery model.

- Experience working across Marketing, Digital, Technology, Data and external implementation partners in complex delivery environments.
- Good understanding of MarTech architecture, integrations and customer data platforms.

- Ability to introduce external best practice and question existing ways of working constructively
- Solid stakeholder management, communication and collaboration skills
- Ability to translate marketing needs into technology-enabled outcomes.
