Direct Communications Executive - Swindon

Summary

We're recruiting for a campaign delivery executive / campaign delivery specialist  to join our team.

As the largest conservation charity in Europe, the National Trust protects and cares for places so people and nature can thrive.  We look after the nation’s coastline, historic sites, countryside and green spaces so that everyone can benefit.
Customer Experience at the National Trust is far from transactional or getting people to buy products.   
We're at the heart of the relationship between people and places. We work to understand the behaviours and motivations of our members, visitors and supporters so we can inspire meaningful connections, promoting one of the nation’s best loved brands and encouraging supporters to visit, join, donate or volunteer.

You will be required to work at a National Trust location for 40-60% of your working week. This will be discussed in more detail at interview.

What you'll be doing

As a Direct Communications Executive, you will design and build workflows and be part of a team responsible for the successful delivery of 4 million email and direct mail communications every month.  
You'll use your technical and data skills to ensure marketing campaigns and journeys are built in a robust, maintainable and repeatable fashion.  Accuracy and attention to detail will be your bread and butter ensuring the highest standards of campaign output whilst remaining compliant with the latest data protection legislation.  
You’ll be comfortable working in a fast-paced, agile working environment embedding best practice techniques to support a varied set of objectives for our Membership and Fundraising teams.
You'll collaborate with key stakeholders and operational colleagues to deliver and enhance our central and regional direct marketing campaigns and journeys by providing expert knowledge of supporter data and communication journey techniques. 
You’ll be confident in the application of campaign optimisation and measurement techniques, translating data briefs into elegant campaign workflows that will include customised segmentation, personalisation and tracking logic.
