The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Growth & Campaign Manager to join a fast-growing, purpose-led technology business that is building products designed to help people make positive financial decisions and increase participation in charitable giving.

This is a hands-on role sitting between product, growth and marketing. You’ll design and run campaigns that acquire, activate and re-engage users, with a significant proportion of that work originating within the product itself.

You’ll work closely with Product, Engineering and Growth to build campaigns across seasonal peaks and year-round products, taking ownership from initial idea through to launch, optimisation and analysis.

This is not a pure channel-marketing role and not a pure product role. We’re looking for someone who understands the complete user journey — from product experience, through acquisition channels, and back into the product — and can build campaigns across that entire journey.

What You’ll Own

Campaign Strategy & Execution

  • Own end-to-end delivery of key seasonal and high-volume campaigns, from planning and build through to launch, optimisation and post-campaign analysis.
  • Develop campaigns designed to acquire, activate, retain and re-engage users.
  • Translate campaign ideas into clear requirements, priorities and measurable outcomes.

Product-Led Campaigns

  • Design and launch campaigns that live within the product, including prompts, user journeys, sharing, referral and gifting mechanics.
  • Work with Product and Engineering to define requirements and take campaigns through to release.
  • Identify opportunities within the product to drive acquisition, engagement and repeat behaviour.

User & Community Campaigns

  • Develop mechanics that enable users to create, share and participate in their own campaigns.
  • Find ways to increase participation and engagement through community-led activity.

Channel Execution

  • Manage the external campaign ecosystem across paid social, email, SMS, push, organic and website activity.
  • Ensure external channels work as part of an integrated product-led journey rather than operating in isolation.
  • Identify opportunities across social and digital channels to drive users into the product.

Lifecycle & Retention

  • Build behavioural segmentation and lifecycle journeys that move users from one-off or occasion-led activity towards repeat engagement.
  • Identify opportunities to improve retention, repeat usage and long-term customer value.

Experimentation & Optimisation

  • Develop clear campaign hypotheses and define success criteria upfront.
  • Run rapid experiments and use the results to make clear decisions about what to continue, change or stop.
  • Continuously test messaging, journeys, mechanics and channels.

Measurement & Analytics

  • Work directly with funnels, cohorts and campaign data to understand performance.
  • Establish clear baselines and measure campaigns against meaningful commercial and user outcomes.
  • Turn data into practical recommendations and decisions rather than simply reporting numbers.

What Success Looks Like

  • Key seasonal campaigns are delivered on time and their performance is clearly measured against previous activity or agreed benchmarks.
  • New product-led campaign mechanics are launched, tested and measured.
  • There is a consistent cadence of experimentation, with clear decisions coming from each test.
  • Repeat engagement improves across identified user cohorts.
  • Product and Engineering have clear campaign requirements, priorities and success metrics.
  • Campaign activity demonstrably contributes to acquisition, activation, retention or re-engagement.
