JOB PURPOSE

This is an embedded role working directly within the marketing team of a UK Award winning fintech, based at their offices in Canary Wharf. We're looking for an experienced Salesforce Marketing Cloud specialist to join our CRM team on a flexible contract basis. You'll work hands-on to build and execute campaigns and customer journeys, while collaborating closely with our product, marketing, and content teams to keep projects moving and deliver at pace.

We are open to either a 3 month fixed-term contract, or freelance.

• Partner with product, marketing, and content teams to scope, plan, and deliver CRM projects
• Build and maintain HTML/CSS email templates to a high standard across clients
• Embed AI tools and practices into day-to-day ways of working to improve efficiency and output quality
