• Provide strategic oversight of all campaign activity, guiding teams on execution rather than being hands-on
• Work closely with ecommerce and digital teams to ensure integrated, customer-first journeys across all touchpoints
• Drive a strong social media and content direction, ensuring it supports brand positioning and commercial outcomes (without direct day-to-day management)
• Collaborate with senior stakeholders to translate commercial objectives into impactful marketing plans
• Ensure robust performance tracking, reporting, and optimisation, using data to inform strategic decisions
• Oversee relationships with agencies and partners, ensuring high-quality delivery and strong ROI
• Champion innovation, identifying new opportunities for brand growth across channels

Ideal Background

• Strong track record of delivering growth through integrated marketing campaigns
• Highly organised, with a focus on prioritisation, delegation, and performance management
