• Own media planning, budget allocation, channel priorities and performance targets, ensuring investment is aligned with business objectives and acquisition goals.

• Oversee campaign performance across digital channels, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, reach the right audiences and deliver stronger acquisition outcomes.

• Lead our SEO agency relationship, setting priorities and ensuring activity delivers meaningful improvements in search visibility, traffic quality and acquisition.

Turn data into commercial outcomes

• Own reporting across digital acquisition and conversion, tracking performance against key measures such as qualified leads, cost per lead (CPL), customer acquisition cost (CAC), conversion rates and customer acquisition outcomes.

• Analyse funnel performance, lead quality and customer behaviour to understand what's working, where opportunities exist and how marketing investment can work harder.

• Partner with CRM, Sales, Data and Marketing Automation to strengthen attribution and connect marketing activity with downstream customer outcomes.

• Ensure tracking and measurement requirements are clearly defined across Google Analytics 4 (GA4), Google Tag Manager (GTM), advertising platforms, CRM and business intelligence (BI) environments.

• Translate performance data into clear recommendations that inform investment decisions, optimisation priorities and future growth.

Lead, develop and collaborate

• Lead and develop the Performance & Digital Experience team, creating clear ownership and accountability across strategy and execution.

• Strong knowledge of paid search, paid social and SEO, with the ability to connect channel performance to broader business and acquisition goals.

Platforms and tools

You'll bring practical experience with key digital marketing platforms and tools, including:

• Essential: Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager and Google Analytics 4 (GA4).
