Role Description

We are looking for a CRM Marketing Manager to own CXM’s customer lifecycle marketing across 12 markets. You will use customer data, segmentation, automation, and personalised communications to improve activation, first-time deposits, retention, reactivation, and customer lifetime value. This is a hands-on role for someone who can build CRM journeys from the ground up, manage campaigns across multiple markets, and use performance data to continuously improve results.

Key Objectives

• Build and launch at least 3 automated lifecycle journeys covering welcome/activation, retention, and reactivation within the first 6 months.
• Improve the current 9% lead-to-FTD conversion rate through targeted CRM activation campaigns.
• Support reducing churn to below 10% through structured retention and reactivation programmes.
• Build and maintain localised CRM journeys across all 12 markets.
• Maintain 99%+ deliverability and ensure all CRM activity meets applicable compliance requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Lifecycle & CRM Strategy
  • Own customer journeys across onboarding, activation, conversion, retention, loyalty, VIP, churn prevention, and win-back.
  • Define triggers, audiences, journey logic, exclusions, frequency caps, and exit criteria.
  • Coordinate email and push communications to create a consistent customer experience.
• Campaigns & Automation
  • Build, launch, and optimise automated CRM campaigns using platforms such as Mailgun, Braze, Klaviyo, or equivalent.
  • Create targeted campaigns based on customer behaviour, lifecycle stage, market, language, and product.
  • Manage promotional campaigns, newsletters, VIP communications, retention campaigns, and partner communications.
  • Develop and maintain reusable email templates and content blocks.
• Segmentation & Personalisation
  • Build and maintain customer segments, consent lists, exclusions, and communication rules.
  • Configure personalised and dynamic content based on customer data.
  • Work with Product, Analytics, and IT to define and validate data and event requirements.
  • SQL knowledge is a strong advantage.
• Localisation
  • Manage CRM communications across multiple languages and markets.
  • Coordinate translation, editing, and linguistic QA.
  • Ensure correct currencies, dates, links, variables, legal messaging, tone, and RTL requirements.
  • Maintain master journeys and localisation matrices across all markets.
• Deliverability & Compliance
  • Monitor deliverability, bounces, spam complaints, suppression lists, and domain/IP reputation.
  • Maintain strong email hygiene and deliverability standards.
  • Run detailed pre-launch QA covering audiences, links, variables, tracking, content, sender details, and scheduling.
  • Ensure campaigns comply with consent, unsubscribe, data retention, and local regulatory requirements.
• Analytics & Optimisation
  • Analyse CRM performance by market, language, segment, and customer lifecycle stage.
  • Measure conversion, retention, churn, revenue, and incremental uplift — not just opens and clicks.
  • Run A/B and holdout tests across offers, messaging, timing, frequency, channels, and journey structure.
  • Maintain a clear optimisation backlog and turn insights into measurable improvements.
