What are we looking for?

We are seeking an experienced SeniorDigital Marketing Specialist to independently plan, execute, and optimise digital marketing activities across the client's portfolio of brands, with a focus on financial services (lending and investment products). This is a hands-on, outcome-driven role suited to a self-managing professional who can own the full digital marketing function end-to-end – from strategy and campaign build to reporting and continuous optimisation.

The role is fully remote and performance-focused: results matter more than hours. Strong performers will be rewarded through a structured incentive program linked to campaign and business outcomes.

Skills Required:

1. Paid Advertising (SEM & Paid Social)

  • Plan, build, launch, and manage campaigns across Google Ads (Search, Display, Performance Max, YouTube), Meta (Facebook/Instagram), and other relevant ad platforms (e.g., LinkedIn, TikTok, Bing, programmatic).
  • Conduct keyword research, audience segmentation, and competitor analysis to inform targeting strategy.
  • Manage budgets, bids, and pacing to maximise ROI and meet cost-per-lead / cost-per-acquisition targets.
  • Run structured A/B testing across creative, copy, landing pages, and audiences.
  • Write and coordinate ad copy and creative briefs consistent with each brand's positioning.

2. Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

  • Develop and execute on-page, off-page, and technical SEO strategies for each brand's website.
  • Perform keyword research, content gap analysis, and SEO-driven content planning.

  • Support content production (blogs, landing pages, resource pages) optimised for search intent.

3. Email Marketing & Lifecycle

  • Design, build, and manage email campaigns, newsletters, and automated nurture sequences.
  • Segment databases and personalise messaging across the customer lifecycle (acquisition, nurture, retention, win-back).
  • Monitor deliverability, open, click, and conversion rates; continuously optimise.

4. Emerging Channels & Innovation

  • Identify, test, and scale emerging channels and mediums (e.g., short-form video, AI-assisted content, chat/conversational marketing, new ad formats and platforms).
  • Apply AI tools responsibly to improve efficiency in content creation, campaign optimisation, analysis, and reporting.
  • Keep the client informed of relevant digital marketing trends and opportunities.

5. Brand, Compliance & Governance

  • Strictly adhere to each brand's branding guidelines (tone of voice, visual identity, messaging).
  • Ensure all marketing output complies with the client's compliance guidelines and applicable financial services advertising regulations (e.g., responsible lending messaging, required DISCLAIMERS, approval workflows).
  • Submit campaigns and creative for compliance review where required before publication.

6. Reporting, Analytics & KPIs

  • Set up and maintain tracking and attribution (e.g., GA4, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, conversion APIs, CRM integration).
  • Deliver regular performance reports (weekly/monthly) covering agreed KPIs: lead volume, lead quality, CPL/CPA, conversion rates, ROAS, organic growth, and email engagement.
  • Translate data into insights and clear recommendations; own the optimisation cycle.
  • Meet or exceed agreed KPI requirements set with the client for each brand.

7. Website Support (Bonus / Desirable)

  • Perform basic website updates and maintenance (e.g., WordPress content updates, landing page builds, simple HTML/CSS edits).
  • Coordinate with developers/designers for larger changes as needed.
