As our CRM Specialist, you will own the end-to-end execution of our CRM campaigns, turning audience segments into active brand advocates. Your key areas of focus include:

• Journey Building & Execution: Plan, build, and deploy manual and automated CRM campaigns and multi-channel journeys within Salesforce Marketing Cloud (SFMC).

• Action-oriented with a strong drive for results. You are tech-savvy, highly organized, and comfortable communicating cross-functionally.
• Degree qualified or equivalent practical digital marketing education.

Why you’ll love working for Mars:

• Purpose: Help craft beloved brands with a legacy of over 100 years of local manufacturing making products that people and pets will love all while helping to build a more sustainable future.
• People: A culture that values your contributions, fosters leadership, and recognises the impact you make. Your work truly matters here.
