  • Collaborate closely with the E-commerce team to ensure we're driving highly relevant and converting traffic to our site.
  • Implement best-in-class CRM strategies to enhance customer relationship journeys and boost retention.
  • Identify and capitalise on new platforms and partnerships to fuel profitable growth.
  • Set and exceed ambitious targets, providing clear and concise performance reports and budget allocation insights.
