Growth Marketing Manager

THE COMPANY

CraftGinClub is one of the UK’s leading premium alcohol retailers. Our mission is to get amazing impossible-to-find drinks into the glasses of discerning drinkers, whilst supporting the growth of artisan producers across the world.

Our award-winning in-house team of experts curates and manages the whole process – and whilst we are principally known for our subscription service delivering incredible experiences to our customers every month, we also have a growing ecommerce store, which offers not only the products we source, but exclusive lines made by our own distillers and manufacturers.

With tens of thousands of customers, we have featured on the BBC, GQ and The Telegraph, and have been heralded as one of the most successful ever investments on Dragon’s Den!

As consumers tastes evolve and the hospitality sector changes, we are expanding our offering and readying ourselves for a new period of growth – moving beyond gin into other spirits, and giving consumers more choice and more opportunity to have truly great experiences.

The Growth Marketing Manager is a key role to help achieve this.

THE TEAM
This role sits within the Sales & Marketing department, specifically the Acquisition team, and will work closely with Brand, Website, CRM, Commerce, Tech, Customer Service, and of course our Product team.

Sales & Marketing is a core driver for moving our business forwards, and is responsible for a range of requirements across the business – improving our brand, forming new incentives, expanding and refining our offering, designing content, producing magazines, running adverts, acquiring new customers and nurturing our database of customers.
We have teams in place looking after Brand, Website, CRM and Commerce, and are now looking to grow our Acquisition function and broaden our skillset. This Acquisition team will be responsible for acquiring new users (into both our subscription and ecommerce funnels) and new traffic (for repeat sales through our ecommerce funnel).
