About The Role
You're an experienced digital marketing professional with a strong background in performance marketing and a proven track record of driving profitable online growth within a retail environment. Comfortable operating across multiple acquisition channels, you'll bring deep expertise in PPC and Paid Social, alongside a solid understanding of SEO, Affiliates and the wider digital marketing landscape.
You'll have experience leading and developing high-performing teams, with the ability to coach, support and inspire channel specialists to deliver against ambitious commercial objectives. Equally comfortable in the detail and the bigger picture, you'll use data and insights to identify opportunities, optimise performance and help shape channel strategy.
You'll be confident managing marketing budgets, making day-to-day optimisation decisions, and balancing short-term trading priorities with longer-term growth opportunities. Strong stakeholder management skills are essential, as you'll work closely with teams across Ecommerce, Trading, CRM, Data & Insights, Finance and external agency partners to deliver joined-up acquisition plans.
Most importantly, you'll be commercially minded, curious and adaptable, with the confidence to challenge constructively, embrace new technologies and continually seek ways to improve performance, efficiency and customer acquisition.
