A <strong>railway operator </strong>client is looking for a <strong>Digital Marketing Manager</strong> to join them on a <strong>12 month contract</strong>. This position will be based in <strong>London</strong><strong>.</strong><br />
 <br>
<strong>Job Summary:</strong><br>
This role plays a central part in how we drive demand, conversion and revenue through digital channels.<br>
As Digital Marketing Manager (Performance), you will define and deliver the day-to-day digital performance marketing strategy, driving scalable and sustainable growth across our e-commerce funnel. Operating across four rail brands, you will shape, optimise and evolve all always-on performance activity across paid social, paid search and programmatic display.<br>
You will operate with significant autonomy in shaping and optimising performance activity, forming views, leading testing, and making performance-led recommendations. You will play a key role in shaping how performance marketing delivers against both commercial objectives and wider above the line campaigns, working closely with Campaign Managers to ensure alignment and impact.<br>
The core focus of the role is driving incremental revenue growth, improving online market share, and ensuring performance activity is efficient, relevant and measurable.<br>
Key Accountabilities:<br />
<ul><br />
	<li>Lead the development and ongoing evolution of the digital performance marketing strategy, ensuring activity is aligned to commercial objectives and wider marketing priorities.<br />
	<li>Own day-to-day performance decisions across paid social, paid search and programmatic display, balancing scale, efficiency, incrementality and ROI.<br />
	<li>Use market, platform and business data to set clear KPls, phase budgets and prioritise activity in response to performance and trading conditions.<br />
	<li>Actively optimise audiences, creative, bidding strategies and budget allocation, using insight to drive continual performance improvement.<br />
	<li>Own a prioritised test-and-learn roadmap, forming hypotheses, overseeing testing and ensuring learnings are captured and applied.<br />
	<li>Work closely with Campaign Managers to shape digital-first creative and messaging, ensuring performance activity complements and converts wider above the line campaigns.<br />
	<li>Lead relationships with media and specialist agency partners, challenging thinking, interrogating recommendations and driving pace, quality and value.<br />
	<li>Get deep into performance data across GA4, platform reporting and Power BI, clearly linking metrics to optimisation levers and commercial outcomes.<br />
	<li>Own weekly, periodic and quarterly performance reporting, translating insight into clear actions and recommendations for stakeholders.<br />
	<li>Work with internal teams to bring contextual business insight (e.g. operational performance, revenue trends) into performance interpretation.<br />
	<li>Present performance insights, recommendations and test outcomes to senior stakeholders when required.<br />
</ul><br>
Context:<br>
Our customers travel with us primarily for commuting and leisure, with expectations around value, convenience and relevance continuing to evolve.<br>
Across our four brands, we engage large volumes of web and app users. Performance marketing plays a key role in accelerating direct customer engagement, increasing app usage and maximising long-term customer value, while ensuring activity remains efficient and incremental.<br>
Performance activity also plays a key role in translating the impact of wider above the line campaigns into measurable engagement and conversion across paid digital channels. This requires close collaboration between performance, creative and campaign teams, supported by a strong test-and-learn mindset.<br>
This role sits at the intersection of commercial objectives, data-led decision making and creative execution, shaping how always-on performance activity responds to changing customer behaviour, competitive dynamics and business priorities.<br>
Resources:<br>
Finance:<br>
Circa £2m+ annual budget across paid search, paid social and programmatic activity, with flexibility to optimise spend in response to performance and insight.<br>
People:<br>
No direct line management responsibility, but expected to lead, influence and collaborate with peers across campaigns and projects.<br>
Partners:<br>
Day-to-day leadership of performance channel specialists within the media agency, working closely to shape strategy, optimisation and delivery.<br>
Skills/Experience:<br />
<ul><br />
	<li>Strong experience in performance marketing, with hands-on responsibility across paid social, PPC and/or programmatic display.<br />
	<li>Clear understanding of media KPls, platform capabilities, account structures and optimisation levers, with the confidence to apply them in a commercial context.<br />
	<li>Highly numerate, with the ability to interpret performance data, draw insight and make sound optimisation and budget decisions.<br />
	<li>Experience using GA4, platform reporting and data visualisation dashboards (e.g. Power BI) to inform performance decisions and recommendations.<br />
	<li>Proven experience driving incremental revenue growth and efficiency through digital activity.<br />
	<li>Confidence managing and constructively challenging external agencies, including writing clear, focused briefs and interrogating recommendations.<br />
	<li>Strong prioritisation skills and comfort operating with autonomy in a fast-moving environment.<br />
	<li>Solid experience managing and optimising budgets, balancing performance, efficiency and longer-term value.<br />
	<li>Degree or formal marketing qualification advantageous but not essential; we value proven experience, strong judgement, curiosity and a collaborative mindset, and are focused on finding someone who will thrive in a high-performing team.<br />

Commercial Manager (Civils Engineering & Construction) - SMR Programme<br />

The client's first step was to start the technology selection process for Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) in 2023.

It is aiming to deliver fast, based on a supportive and collaborative culture which values equality and diversity and creates an inclusive workplace.<br>
Our activities will be driven by our values, which are:<br />
<ul><br />
	<li>Trust - We prioritise safety, we act responsibly and with integrity.<br />
	<li>Collaboration - We work as a team; we value diversity and expertise.<br />
	<li>Challenge - We are curious and courageous in the way we think and act.<br />
	<li>Care - We are thoughtful, inclusive and respectful of others.<br />
	<li>Drive - We get things done and we make a difference.<br />
	<li>If you have a disability and would prefer to apply in a different format or would like us to make reasonable adjustments to enable you to apply or attend an interview, please contact us at and we will talk to you about how we can assist.<br />

</ul><br />
What Success Looks Like<br>

	<li>Finance processes are simpler, faster, and more consistent across the organisation.<br />
	<li>Manual effort and reliance on spreadsheets are significantly reduced.<br />
	<li>Audit and compliance risks are minimised with stronger controls and clear audit trails.<br />

Essential Skills and Experience<br />
<ul><br />
	<li>Hands-on experience designing, configuring, prototyping or supporting the deployment of AI assistants, agents, copilots, custom GPTs or workflow automation solutions, using no-code, low-code or similar agent-building platforms.<br />
	<li>Experience leading digital transformation, innovation, or AI adoption programmes.<br />
	<li>Strong understanding of business process improvement and organisational change.<br />

	<li>Experience building AI agents.<br />
	<li>Knowledge of programming languages.<br />
	<li>Experience with coding .<br />
