1What this role really is

This role is all about getting stuck into the day-to-day running of our digital marketing channels. You'll be the one making sure our campaigns actually go live, performing well, and hitting their targets. It's a hands-on job where you'll own a specific channel or two, perhaps paid search or email, for a particular market. You'll be working independently on most routine tasks, but don't worry, your manager is there for the trickier stuff. Think of it as being the engine room for our global digital efforts, making sure everything runs smoothly and we're always learning.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing inWhere you are nowThe step above
Campaign Budget Allocation (within approved campaign)No authority; execute as instructed.Adjust daily/weekly spend within a pre-approved campaign budget (e.g., shifting £100-£500 between ad sets to optimise performance). Any changes above £500 or outside the campaign's overall budget need manager approval.Allocate budgets up to £5K-£10K for new campaign tests or reallocate within existing programmes without direct approval, informing Director. Larger shifts require Director sign-off.
Campaign Creative/Copy ChangesSuggest changes to supervisor; implement after approval.Independently A/B test ad copy, headlines, and landing page variations. For major messaging changes or new brand assets, you'll consult the Content team and your manager.Approve all creative and copy changes for campaigns within your workstream, ensuring brand guidelines are met. Consult with brand leadership on significant new creative directions.
Selection of Digital Marketing ToolsNo authority; use assigned tools.Propose new features or integrations for existing tools (e.g., a new GA4 report type). Any new tool acquisition or significant subscription increase requires manager approval.Recommend and evaluate new tools for specific workstreams (e.g., a new SEO auditing tool), with budget approval from Director. You'll lead trials and present business cases.
Prioritisation of Daily TasksFollow daily task list from supervisor.Prioritise your own daily tasks based on campaign deadlines and performance data, escalating any conflicts or potential missed deadlines to your manager for guidance.Define priorities for your workstream, balancing short-term campaign needs with longer-term strategic goals. You'll manage conflicting demands and negotiate timelines with other teams.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Cost Per Lead (CPL)
The average cost to acquire a new lead through your paid channels.
Target · Maintain CPL below £75 for qualified leads.

If you spend £1,500 on Google Ads and generate 25 qualified leads, your CPL is £60. We'd expect you to explain any spikes above £75 and what you're doing to bring it down.

Paid Search Click-Through Rate (CTR)
The percentage of people who click on your paid search ads after seeing them.
Target · Achieve a minimum CTR of 3% across all campaigns.

If your ad gets 10,000 impressions and 250 clicks, your CTR is 2.5%. You'd need to identify why it's below target and test new ad copy or targeting to improve it.

Email Open Rate
The percentage of recipients who open your marketing emails.
Target · Maintain an average open rate above 25% for nurture campaigns.

You send an email to 1,000 people, and 280 open it. That's a 28% open rate, which is good. If it drops to 20% for the next campaign, we'd want to know what you're changing in the subject lines or segmentation.

Campaign Setup Accuracy
How accurately campaigns are set up in our platforms (e.g., correct tracking, budget, targeting).
Target · 99% accuracy in campaign setup and execution.

You launch 10 campaigns in a month. If one campaign has incorrect UTM parameters, that's a 90% accuracy. We're aiming for near-perfection here because mistakes can mess up our data and budgets.

Learning & Adaptation
How quickly you learn from campaign performance and adapt your strategies.
  • You'll proactively suggest A/B tests based on data. You'll explain *why* a campaign performed a certain way and what you'll do differently next time. You're not afraid to admit something didn't work, but you always have a plan for what's next.
Cross-Team Collaboration
Your ability to work smoothly with other teams like Content and Sales.
  • Content team members say you give clear briefs and timely feedback. Sales team members tell your manager they appreciate the quality of leads you're generating and your responsiveness to their feedback. You're seen as someone who helps, not hinders.
Proactive Problem Solving
Your initiative in identifying and resolving issues before they become big problems.
  • You flag a sudden drop in website traffic and investigate the cause without being asked. You spot a discrepancy in reporting between GA4 and HubSpot and figure out why, rather than waiting for someone else to notice.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Seeing Direct Impact

You'll get a real kick out of seeing your campaigns generate actual leads or drive website traffic. You'll be constantly checking dashboards and feeling a sense of accomplishment when the numbers go up.

You launch a new paid social campaign and within days, you see a measurable increase in MQLs, directly attributable to your work. That's the good stuff.

Continuous Learning & Improvement

The digital landscape changes constantly, and you'll love staying on top of it. You'll be eager to learn about new ad features, analytics updates, or SEO best practices, and then apply them to your campaigns.

Google Ads releases a new bidding strategy, and you're the first to test it out on a small campaign to see if it can beat your current performance.

Problem Solving

When a campaign isn't performing as expected, you won't just shrug. You'll enjoy digging into the data, figuring out *why*, and then coming up with solutions to fix it. It's like a puzzle you get to solve every day.

Your CPL suddenly spikes. You investigate the audience targeting, ad creatives, and landing page, identify the bottleneck, and implement changes that bring the cost back down.

What frustrates people
  • Dealing with fragmented data across multiple platforms that don't talk to each other, making a single customer view a nightmare.
  • Having your carefully planned week derailed by a Friday 4 PM 'urgent' request from an executive who wants a 'quick' report on a vanity metric they saw in an airline magazine.
  • Trying to get content approved by multiple stakeholders, leading to endless revision cycles that delay campaign launches.
  • Explaining to non-marketing people why 'impressions' aren't the same as 'leads' or 'sales'.
What this role does not give you
  • A predictable, unchanging daily routine – expect constant shifts and new challenges.
  • Complete autonomy over strategic direction – you'll execute within a broader strategy.
  • A role where every single piece of work you do directly translates into a massive, immediate revenue spike (it's often incremental gains).
  • A job where you never have to justify your spend or explain your numbers to a non-marketing audience.

6Who you work with

You'll be directly responsible for the performance of key digital channels in your assigned market. This means you're contributing to the pipeline of new business, helping us hit our revenue targets, and making sure our brand stays top-of-mind. Get it right, and we grow. Get it wrong, and we're leaving money on the table. It's pretty straightforward, really.

Inside the business
  • Marketing Operations Team (for tracking and reporting)
  • Regional Sales Teams (for lead quality and follow-up)
  • Content Team (for campaign assets)
  • Product Marketing (for understanding new features and messaging)
Outside the business
  • Digital Advertising Platforms (Google Ads, LinkedIn)
  • SEO Tool Providers (Semrush, Ahrefs)
  • Marketing Automation Vendors (HubSpot, Salesforce Marketing Cloud)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • At least 2 years of hands-on experience managing digital marketing campaigns in a commercial setting, not just academic projects.
  • Demonstrable experience with at least two major digital advertising platforms (e.g., Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Meta Ads).
  • Proven ability to analyse campaign data, draw insights, and make data-driven recommendations for optimisation.
  • A good understanding of website analytics (specifically Google Analytics 4) and how to set up basic tracking.
  • Experience with a marketing automation platform (like HubSpot or Salesforce Marketing Cloud) for email marketing and landing page creation.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Google Analytics 4 (GA4) & GTM Implementation

GA4 is constantly evolving, and simply pulling standard reports isn't enough. You'll need to get really good at custom event tracking and understanding the data model to get truly actionable insights. If you can't, you'll miss critical performance signals.

Event-Driven Data Model · Custom Event & Parameter Setup · Explorations & Funnels · Data Layer Implementation

  • This month: Complete Google's advanced GA4 courses. Seriously, dedicate time to it.
  • Next month: Work with our web development team to understand our current data layer and propose one new custom event to track a key user action.
  • Month 3: Build two new custom GA4 exploration reports that provide insights your manager hasn't seen before.
  • Month 4: Take ownership of auditing our GA4 setup for data accuracy and identifying any gaps in tracking.

Quick win: Set up a custom GA4 exploration for one of your current campaigns to see if you can uncover any new insights about user behaviour on your landing pages.

Integrated Paid Media Strategy & Budget Optimisation

It's no longer enough to just manage Google Ads or LinkedIn Ads in isolation. You'll need to understand how all paid channels work together, how to allocate budgets across them for maximum impact, and how to build full-funnel strategies. The platforms are getting smarter, and so should you.

Cross-Channel Budgeting · Full-Funnel Retargeting · Audience Overlap Analysis · Incrementality Testing

  • This month: Research different budget allocation models for paid media. Read articles, watch webinars.
  • Next month: Propose a small-scale A/B test to compare two different budget allocation strategies across two of your campaigns.
  • Month 3: Design a full-funnel retargeting strategy for one of our key products, outlining the different audiences, ad creatives, and offers for each stage.
  • Month 4: Present your findings and recommendations to your manager, showing how an integrated approach could improve overall ROAS.

Quick win: Identify one audience segment that you're currently targeting on both Google Ads and LinkedIn. Check for audience overlap and consider how you might tailor your messaging differently for each platform.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly follow industry blogs and news sources (e.g., Search Engine Land, Marketing Week, Adweek) to stay on top of algorithm changes and new platform features.
  • Attend relevant webinars and online courses on advanced topics like conversion rate optimisation (CRO), advanced GA4 techniques, or specific paid media strategies.
  • Participate in online communities or forums for digital marketers to share knowledge and troubleshoot challenges with peers.
  • Experiment with new AI tools and features in your personal capacity or on small, low-risk internal projects to build practical experience.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Prompt Engineering & LLM Integration for Content

Honestly, competitors are already using AI like ChatGPT or Claude to draft ad copy, social posts, and even email subject lines in minutes. If you can't do this, you'll be spending hours on tasks that others are automating. The value isn't just speed; it's about generating more variations for testing, which means better performance.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

Privacy-First Marketing & Data Ethics

With the death of third-party cookies and increasing privacy regulations (like GDPR, which is only getting stricter), relying on old tracking methods just won't cut it.

If you don't, your campaigns will become less effective, and we could face compliance issues.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Global Digital Marketing Manager is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

No two people run this the same way

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

  1. Senior Global Digital Marketing Manager (L3)

    3-5 years in current role

    You'll move from owning specific channels to leading entire multi-channel campaigns from start to finish. You'll also start mentoring junior specialists and managing a small budget or region.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, digital marketing involves a lot of repetitive tasks and data crunching. Imagine getting back a quarter of your week to focus on strategy, creative thinking, and genuinely impactful work. That's what AI can do for you here.

We're not talking about replacing you; we're talking about giving you superpowers. AI tools can handle the grunt work, analyse data faster than any human, and even help you brainstorm. You'll still be the brain, but you'll have an incredibly efficient assistant.

Ad Copy & Creative Automation

Use tools like Jasper.ai or Copy.ai to generate dozens of variations of ad headlines, descriptions, and social media copy for A/B testing. AI can analyse top-performing ads and suggest new angles, drastically reducing creative brainstorming time. Honestly, it's a massive time-saver for getting those test variations out the door.

Predictive Audience Analysis

Leverage AI features within platforms like HubSpot or Google Analytics to identify audience segments with the highest probability to convert or churn. This moves beyond just looking at historical reports; it helps you proactively target the right people, improving campaign efficiency and your return on ad spend (ROAS). You'll spend less time guessing and more time acting on solid predictions.

Competitor & Trend Intelligence

Use AI-powered market intelligence tools to monitor competitors' digital footprint in real-time. Get alerts on their new ad campaigns, SEO strategy shifts, and content launches. This means you can react faster to market changes, instead of waiting for those manual quarterly reviews. You'll always be one step ahead, or at least quickly catching up.

Executive Summary Generation

Imagine pasting raw performance data (tables of CTR, CPL, ROAS from multiple channels) into an AI tool and asking it to 'write a one-paragraph executive summary for a non-marketing audience.' It instantly translates complex data into a clear, concise narrative for leadership reports, saving you a good chunk of time on those weekly updates.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Global Digital Marketing Manager, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 10 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Global Digital Marketing Manager: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain here are highly transferable. You could move into a similar digital marketing role in almost any industry – from e-commerce to B2B SaaS, or even into a digital agency. The core principles of driving online growth and understanding customer behaviour are universal.
