As a Direct Communications Executive, you will design and build workflows and be part of a team responsible for the successful delivery of 4 million email and direct mail communications every month.
You'll use your technical and data skills to ensure marketing campaigns and journeys are built in a robust, maintainable and repeatable fashion. Accuracy and attention to detail will be your bread and butter ensuring the highest standards of campaign output whilst remaining compliant with the latest data protection legislation.
You'll be comfortable working in a fast-paced, agile working environment embedding best practice techniques to support a varied set of objectives for our Membership and Fundraising teams.
You'll collaborate with key stakeholders and operational colleagues to deliver and enhance our central and regional direct marketing campaigns and journeys by providing expert knowledge of supporter data and communication journey techniques.
