Working in a collaborative and innovative environment, you will have the chance to shape and execute comprehensive marketing plans, optimise campaigns, and foster strong relationships with key stakeholders. With a focus on customer-centric strategies and data-driven decision-making, this role offers a platform to make a significant impact on business growth and customer engagement while upholding integrity and compliance with regulatory standards.
What you'll do
You'll play a pivotal role in leading the planning, delivery, and optimisation of marketing activities across Insurances White Label and Argos Pay / Argos Care. Your focus will be on driving awareness, consideration, and conversion through strategic marketing plans and budgets, working closely with senior leaders across White Label partners and the wider JS Group to achieve commercial targets. Acting as the Marketing Campaign subject matter expert, you will collaborate with Argos and White Label products to create compelling campaigns, manage the product marketing budget, and employ a data-driven approach to develop a best-in-class full lifecycle marketing strategy that includes digital channel strategies, media planning, and creative development.
Who you are
You're a strategic and data-driven marketer with a proven track record in leading and optimising marketing plans to drive commercial success. Your ability to develop strong stakeholder relationships, manage multi-channel content execution, and leverage insights to inform decision-making enables you to deliver impactful campaigns that resonate with customers and achieve business objectives. With your leadership skills, analytical mindset, and customer-focused approach, you play a pivotal role in shaping and executing best-in-class marketing strategies that drive growth and enhance the overall customer experience.
We are committed to being a truly inclusive retailer so you’ll be welcomed whoever you are and wherever you work. Around here, there’s always the chance to try something new — whether that’s as part of an evolving team or somewhere else across the business - and we take development seriously and promise to support you. We also recognise and celebrate colleagues when they go the extra mile and, where possible, offer flexible working. When you join our team, we’ll also offer you an amazing range of benefits. Here are some of them: Starting off with colleague discount, you'll be able to save 10% on your shopping online and instore at Sainsbury's, Argos, TU and Habitat, and we regularly increase the discount to 15% at points during the year. We've also got you covered for your future with our pensions scheme and life cover. You'll also be able to share in our success as you may be eligible for a performance-related bonus of up to 20% of salary, depending on how we perform. Your wellbeing is important to us too. You'll receive an annual holiday allowance, and you can buy up to an additional week's holiday, and we provide private healthcare. We also offer other benefits that will help your money go further such as season ticket loans, interest free car loan of up to £10k, cycle to work scheme, health cash plans, salary advance (where you can access some of your pay before pay day) as well access to a great range of discounts from hundreds of other retailers. And if you ever need it there is also an Employee Assistance Programme.
