The Digital Growth & CRM Manager ensures that leads generated from partnership sources, paid and organic social media, webinars, events and other digitally enabled activity are seamlessly handed into structured CRM workflows, where their status, engagement history and progression are actively tracked and optimised. By owning lead flow, nurture, conversion and visibility within the CRM, this outcome driven position ensures that the CRM operates as the single source of truth for all digital lead activity, while insight and learning from CRM journeys are used to continuously inform and improve digital growth and conversion performance across the full funnel.

Continuously optimise CRM journeys to improve engagement, progression and conversion rates. Ensure the CRM operates as the single source of truth for lead status, engagement history and progression. Digital Lead Flow & Journey Ownership Own the end-to-end digital lead journey once a prospect engages - from first interaction through to conversion. Ensure all digital lead generation activity (including partnership led sources, social media, webinars and events) is seamlessly connected to the website and CRM. Map and optimise journeys to reduce drop off, improve engagement and increase conversion across the funnel. Cross Channel Enablement & Collaboration Work in close partnership with Senior Marketing Managers across all channels. Enable channel leads by defining how leads are captured, tracked, nurtured and progressed after engagement - without duplicating or owning channel strategy or execution. Establish consistent standards for lead capture, tagging, attribution and hand off across channels. Provide insight and recommendations that help channel teams improve lead quality and downstream performance. Website & Conversion Optimisation Ensure the website operates as a central conversion hub for all digital activity. Improve management of form starts, form completions and partial submissions, including re engagement strategies.

Partner with internal stakeholders to improve CRM data quality, structure and usability, recognising that capability is evolving. Support the development of automated journeys and follow up activity aligned to lead intent and lifecycle stage. Performance, Insight & Optimisation Track and report on digital funnel performance from first interaction through to conversion.

Strong attention to detail, particularly around lead capture, data quality, journey logic and reporting accuracy. Comfortable working in environments where systems and processes are evolving, with a pragmatic, solution oriented mindset. Knowledge Proven experience in a digital growth, CRM, marketing automation or journey optimisation role, ideally within a regulated or complex organisation. Strong understanding of digital marketing principles, lead generation models, customer intent and funnel management. Practical experience designing and managing CRM led nurture journeys to support lead progression and conversion.

Experience working with CRM and marketing automation platforms such as Dynamics 365, Customer Insights Journeys, Mailchimp and Campaign Monitor.
