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).
• Loyalty Program Growth: Partner with the Loyalty Manager to refresh and build out tailored journeys for our ADVANCE D2B and D2C programs, strengthening member engagement and retention.
• Optimization & Performance: Constantly monitor campaign results, lead A/B and multivariate testing (subject lines, templates, creative, timing), and provide data-driven insights to improve future activity.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Marketing Operations, Brand, and eCommerce teams to align CRM efforts with our wider commercial goals.
• Agency & Asset Management: Brief and manage creative, technical, and content requirements, and oversee platform templates, asset taxonomy, and tracking.
• First-Party Data Stewardship: Ensure all CRM activities support our first-party data strategy, contributing directly to audience enrichment and growth.

What will you bring?

• 3+ years of experience in marketing communications, digital marketing, or consumer relationship marketing (CRM).
• Proven hands-on experience in Salesforce Marketing Cloud (SFMC) or a similar scale-enterprise ecosystem, including audience segmentation, journey builder, and campaign execution.
• Strong comfort with data analysis and digital metrics. You are someone who uses performance metrics to make smart, optimization-led decisions.
• A solid understanding of first-party data (the transition from "unknown" to "known" customers) combined with excellent project management and delivery skills.
• 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.

• 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.
