• Manage and optimise microsites improving UX, and layout to drive conversion.
• Use tools like Google Analytics, Clarity, and internal dashboards to monitor digital funnel performance and identify opportunities for CRO.
• Develop strategies to attract, nurture, and convert learners across digital channels aligning journeys with awareness, consideration, and sign-up phases.
• Champion the smart use of data to enhance personalisation, campaign segmentation, and performance optimisation.
• Support limited but strategic paid activity on LinkedIn and Meta, in partnership with the B2C Content Manager.
• Work hand-in-hand with wider marketing teams to align digital distribution and campaign success.
• Keep a finger on the pulse of evolving martech and AI tools to enhance campaign efficiency and creativity.
