Craft Gin Club

THE COMPANY CraftGinClub is one of the UK's leading premium alcohol retailers. Our mission is to get amazing impossible-to-find drinks into the glasses of discerning drinkers, whilst supporting the growth of artisan producers across the world. Our award winning in house team of experts curates and manages the whole process - and whilst we are principally known for our subscription service delivering incredible experiences to our customers every month, we also have a growing ecommerce store, which offers not only the products we source, but exclusive lines made by our own distillers and manufacturers. With tens of thousands of customers, we have featured on the BBC, GQ and The Telegraph, and have been heralded as one of the most successful ever investments on Dragon's Den! The Head Of Growth Marketing is a key role to help achieve this, and we are looking to bring on board someone for a year's maternity cover from May26. THE TEAM This role sits within the Sales & Marketing department, and will work closely with Brand, CRM, Website, Commerce, Tech, Customer Service, and of course our Product team. Sales & Marketing is a core driver for moving our business forwards, and is responsible for a range of requirements across the business - improving our brand, forming new incentives, expanding and refining our offering, designing content, producing magazines, running adverts, acquiring new customers and nurturing our database of customers. We already have teams in place looking after Brand, CRM, Website and Commerce, but are now in the process of expanding our Growth / Acquisition team, both by bringing in a new Growth Marketing Manager to support across all key initiatives as well as this maternity cover. This Growth / Acquisition team is responsible for our ATL marketing channels, acquiring new customers into our funnel, with one key goal: to generate revenue growth within a profitable ROAS. THE PERSON In a nutshell, the Head Of Growth Marketing will be our consumer acquisition champion, responsible for finding and acquiring new customers across a range of channels, promoting the right products to the right people at the right time. Reporting into the Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, this role will be a key leader within the Sales & Marketing team, helping guide the overall department with specific authority and accountability for the Growth / Acquisition Marketing function within it.

An over reliance on a narrow range of channels (predominantly affiliates / partnerships) is being addressed, with new agencies being brought on board to better support SEO, Paid Search and Paid Social. Likewise, the team is expanding with a Growth Marketing Manager being hired to support the broadening range of activities. With the current Head Of Growth Marketing going on maternity leave soon, we are looking for a talented marketing professional to take the current foundations of what we do, and expand on them - both in developing a test & learn programme, new channel deployment, and current channel optimisation.
