This is a rare and exciting opportunity for an experienced and talented marketing professional to join our Marketing Campaigns team at NFU Mutual.
Working as part of the Marketing and Digital division, you will drive our Financial Services marketing strategy by leading, managing and overseeing the creation of integrated multi-media campaigns for our Financial Services propositions, which include Pensions, Investments and Protection.
You’ll use your subject matter expertise and data-driven decision making to develop highly engaging, customer-focused campaigns that effectively deliver strategic and business objectives for both new and existing customers. Working closely with customer data analysts, you’ll make sure all campaigns are analysed and use this insight to create recommendations and drive ongoing improvements through test and learn activity, to deliver maximum ROI.
Your exceptional stakeholder engagement and influencing skills will be used regularly, working with senior leaders across the wider business and our NFU Mutual network of Agents and Financial Advisors.
Ready to develop your skills and open to embracing new ideas, you’ll be working in a regulated environment where you’ll be quick to identify how to minimise risk to the organisation, ensuring mitigation plans and controls are in place to ensure marketing campaigns are delivered to plan, agreed budget and in line with regulatory standards.
As a manager you will lead, motivate, and develop your direct report to maximise their contribution to business objectives and realise their potential.
This role is based in our Tiddington Head Office, just outside Stratford-Upon-Avon. However, we understand how important a positive work-life balance is, so to help you give your best, we offer great facilities when you want to be in an office environment and support you to work up to 80% of your hours from home.
Used to working at pace, you have a passion for Marketing and are able to effectively balance your customer lens with a commercial mindset. Mindful of working in a regulated environment, you’re creative, open to embracing new ideas and use your excellent communication skills to manage relationships with stakeholders at all levels. To join our team you must also hold a relevant Marketing qualification such as CIM or IDM Diploma, or be actively/planning to start studying for one (please ensure this is listed on your CV).
