You

Leading a multi-national team across time zones, roles and projects - their Head of Digital Optimisation will be a leader, an inspirer, and at the heart of everything - an exceptionally astute, commercially minded strategist. The successful applicant will be able to rapidly examine and corroborate data streams - quickly developing an understanding of a business' situation and goals - before assembling the right strategy, technology and staffing toolbox to address commercial opportunities for both our clients and the company. The Head of Digital Optimisation will then use their highly developed communication skills (verbal, written and presentation) to explain complex strategies and implementations to everyone from the boardroom to the backroom.

As a member of the senior leadership team, you will also be coaching their expanding team of analysts, consultants, front-end developers and UX designers, and lastly, your personal tribe of strategists!

On occasion, you will be required to contribute to content creation and presentation of the company - presenting at events, and being published on and offline.

To help manage this large time contribution we provide TOIL (time off in lieu) and are happy for you to work remotely and in office, though to be truly effective coaching our junior teams, you will be required in the office at least 3 days a week during typical working conditions.
