The successful candidate must possess a lot of energy, passion and most importantly of all, an entrepreneurial and analytical data-driven mind. The position requires the candidate to be extremely well organised, technical, intelligent, and possess the ability to think strategically and apply entrepreneurial talent to e-marketing. Progression in this role is clear, accessible and achievable with hard work and outstanding results.
The successful candidate will be working with bespoke systems which will allow them to truly make the role their own.
The role is best suited to someone with excellent technical and analytical skills rather than creative skills. At least 4 years of B2B e-marketing experience (not social or B2C) is required together with a thorough understanding of the key components of profitable email marketing in a high-end B2B environment;
· Scheduling
· Collateral design
· A/B testing
· Campaign set-up
· Execution
· Reporting
· High deliverability

The successful candidate will supervise 4 assistants, work in small but very busy, dynamic, hard-working and entrepreneurial team and will report directly to the Managing Director
The successful candidate will work remotely from home and will be supplied with a laptop, telephone and quarterly internet and utility allowance.
The role is best suited to someone with excellent technical and analytical skills rather than creative skills. Of even greater importance is the reporting, analysis, interpretation, extrapolation and action. Possessing those high-level abilities is the critical foundation of this role.
A degree in digital marketing would be advantageous.
