• Partner with Data Science and Analytics teams to bring predictive models into real-world marketing use cases

• Translate complex data into actionable insights that shape campaigns, offers, and customer experiences

• Own and continuously improve audience frameworks, ensuring they are scalable, accurate, and reusable

• Collaborate with marketing, product, and technology teams to deliver data-driven campaigns end-to-end

• Champion best practice in data governance, quality, and compliance across CRM platforms

• Identify opportunities to test, learn, and optimise through experimentation and performance analysis

• Mentor others and help build organisational capability in audience strategy and segmentation

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience in CRM, audience strategy, or lifecycle marketing within a data-rich environment

• Deep expertise in Salesforce Marketing Cloud and experience working with Data Cloud

• Advanced SQL skills and confidence working with large, complex datasets

• A strategic mindset with the ability to connect data capabilities to business outcomes

• Experience collaborating across Data, Marketing, and Technology functions

• Confidence influencing stakeholders and translating technical concepts into clear recommendations
