About the Role

The Senior Marketing Manager, Digital Performance is OFG Education's centre of excellence for digital marketing and experience. The role sets the digital standards our school brands work to, agreed with the regional marketing directors, and works with regional marketing teams and their agencies to deliver them: tracking and data, website experience and conversion, marketing automation, paid media effectiveness, and getting the most out of our central marketing technology platforms (CRM & CMS). 

The role defines how our digital parent journeys are built, tracked, measured and improved, from a parent's first interaction through to enrolment and re-enrolment. Just as importantly, it makes sure the part of the journey parents actually experience is clear, streamlined and frictionless. The result is higher enrolment, more satisfied parents and a lower cost of acquiring each new student. 

Choosing a school is an expensive, high-consideration decision, made by families over months and many touchpoints, with staff at our schools guiding families at every stage. We are looking for B2C digital experience in this kind of considered, human-to-human journey, rather than high-volume transactional ecommerce. 

The role is a mix of strategy and hands-on work, with an initial build period within our new CRM and CMS technology, then moving to governance and optimisation. You’ll work with regional marketing teams and their agencies to agree the standards for our digital journeys, support their planning, coaching them and measuring the results.
