- Supporting the delivery and optimisation of CRM campaigns designed to increase eye exam bookings, repeat purchases and customer loyalty.
- Managing customer lifecycle activity including recall and lapsed customer programmes across multiple channels.
- Using data and reporting to understand campaign performance, identify trends and spot opportunities to improve results.

- Supporting the onboarding of new practices onto our CRM programmes, ensuring campaigns and customer data are set up accurately.
- Working with third-party CRM and technology partners to explore improvements to our systems, processes and customer journeys.
- Sharing ideas and contributing to the development of CRM best practice across the Group.
- Supporting the development of others as our CRM capability grows, including sharing knowledge and helping colleagues get the most from our CRM activity.
- Taking on projects and other opportunities that help us continually improve what we do.
What we're looking for
You don’t need to be a CRM expert. We’re much more interested in your curiosity, analytical mindset and willingness to learn.
Ideally, you’ll have experience in CRM, marketing, customer communications, data or a similar role, and be looking for an opportunity where you can broaden your experience and take on more responsibility.
- A basic understanding of CRM and customer lifecycle activity.
- Good Excel and analytical skills, with the ability to look at data and understand what it is telling you.
- An analytical and inquisitive mindset - you’ll naturally want to understand why something has happened and how we could make it better.
- Excellent attention to detail, particularly when working with customer data and communications.
- An interest in A/B testing, campaign optimisation and using insight to improve results.
- Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple pieces of work.
- Confidence working with different teams and communicating with a range of stakeholders.
- A proactive approach - you’ll be someone who spots an opportunity rather than waiting to be asked.
