Job Description
The Kaplan Languages Group is undergoing significant transformation as it looks to modernise its approach to the delivery of a renewed student journey. Our business is about high-value products and life-changing decisions. Our goal is not to process large-scale automations but to automate and simplify complex and emotionally charged customer journeys. It's a fantastic opportunity to rebuild the customer journey, building the set of communications that allow us to improve the customer experience and boost conversion.
Reporting to the Head of Acquisition, as CRM Marketing Manager at KLG, you will be at the centre of this transformation, leading the roadmap with the support of a CRM executive and the digital and IT team (developers and Salesforce specialists), based in London and Barcelona. Applying your strong project management skills, you'll drive a plan to transform the way we communicate with our clients (both B2C and B2B) aligned with our commercial strategy drawn from data, insights, and analysis from various sources. You'll be customer-centric and be able to quickly identify the needs of customers, define outcomes, set priorities and ultimately be a key driver in KLG's mission to continue its growth across different markets. This role will play a crucial role in our organisation, helping to unpack these individual customer journeys and working alongside our business stakeholders through clear and comprehensive briefing management, team management and leadership.
