About this role

Digital Marketing Manager

About them

Our client is one of the UK's best known names in 11+ and high-stakes exam preparation, trusted by over 100,000 families. They recently launched a 3rd learning platform that adapts to each child's learning profile.

About the role

You will run their digital marketing across all three brands, hands on: lifecycle email, CRM, tracking and reporting, creative, SEO and Meta. Paid search is run by an agency partner, and they plan to bring in an agency for brand identity and messaging. You manage both relationships, briefing them and holding them to account. Everything else you own and do yourself.

They want someone who works AI first, using tools like Claude and n8n to analyse performance, draft copy and automate the routine work, so your time goes on decisions and campaigns rather than admin.

You report to the Head of Operations. They are a small team, and the right person spots what needs doing and gets on with it.

They work in Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, Meta, Customer(dot)io, Attio, GA4, Search Console, n8n, Claude and Outline. You should know most of these or close equivalents.

What you'll be responsible for

Email

Lifecycle and campaign email across three brands (welcome, trial, winback, and seasonal pushes around the 11+ cycle), with segmentation and automated journeys in Customer(dot)io.

CRM

Owning Attio, keeping the data clean and making sure it works with Customer(dot)io.

Paid search

Managing their agency across £250,000 to £350,000 a year in Google and Microsoft Ads spend, setting priorities and holding them to account for results.

Tracking and reporting

Making sure conversion tracking and GA4 are trusted and producing a weekly performance report with your view on what moved and why.

SEO and GEO

Publishing pages where Search Console shows a gap, and helping their brands get cited in AI search tools.

Paid social and creative

Running Meta ads and producing campaign creative across channels with AI design tools, including assets for their paid search agency.

Automation and process

Automating routine work, and writing down calendars, briefs and how-tos so anyone can pick up the work.

What you'll bring

Several years in a hands-on B2C digital marketing role, ideally in-house and in subscription or ecommerce. Education or marketing to parents is a strong plus.
Solid experience running email yourself, including segmentation and automated journeys, in Customer(dot)io or similar.
Enough Google Ads knowledge to brief and challenge a paid search agency.
Comfort with CRM data, GA4 and Search Console, and the ability to explain results plainly.

An AI-first way of working

workflows or automations you have built, not just using a chatbot.

Clear writing for busy, often anxious parents, without overselling.
Good judgement on what moves the numbers, and a get-stuck-in attitude.

What success looks like

Within three months you own the email calendar across all three brands and have a working rhythm with their paid search agency.
The weekly report is something the business relies on.
Attio and Customer(dot)io are joined up, so they can see a family's journey from first visit to paying customer.
Routine work is automated, and you have delivered at least one project you spotted yourself.

Why join them

They are a well-established business going through real change: they have just launched a 3rd learning platform, they are rebuilding their sites onto one platform, and they are building out their in-house marketing. You would shape how marketing works here, with a leadership team that takes AI seriously and will back the tools you want to build.
