• Strong campaign and email marketing experience, including A/B testing and optimisation
• Confidence across the full promotional mix – digital, content, social, PR, and partnerships
• Sharp copywriting skills with an eye for detail and audience relevance
• Data-driven mindset with the ability to turn KPIs into action
• Hands-on experience with social tools and design platforms like Figma or Canva
• Curiosity, creativity, and a proactive “test and learn” attitude

Why this role?
