5What 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 in Where you are nowThe step above
Campaign Launch Timing Inform Campaign Manager of any potential delays in your tasks; they make the final call. Propose minor timing adjustments for your own campaigns to Campaign Manager; get approval. Adjust launch timings for complex campaigns within a programme, informing Director of any major shifts.
Creative Asset Selection Use assets provided in the brief; flag any issues to Campaign Manager. Suggest minor creative variations for testing; get approval from Creative Lead. Approve final creative assets for campaigns, ensuring brand guidelines are met.
UTM & Tracking Setup Implement UTMs and pixels according to documented guidelines; seek review from Campaign Manager. Independently set up and verify all tracking for your campaigns; escalate complex issues. Define and update UTM naming conventions and tracking best practices for the team.
Budget Allocation (Campaign Level) No authority over budget. Flag any discrepancies in ad spend monitoring to Campaign Manager. Monitor campaign spend against budget; recommend minor adjustments within a £5K threshold to Campaign Manager. Allocate campaign budgets up to £50K; consult Director on larger shifts or new investments.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

On-Time Campaign Task Completion
The percentage of assigned campaign tasks (e.g., email builds, landing page setups) that are completed by their agreed-upon deadline.
Target · >95%

If you're given 20 tasks in a week, you'd be expected to complete at least 19 of them on time. Missing a deadline for a critical email send, for instance, would count against this.

Campaign Tracking Accuracy
The percentage of campaigns where all required UTM parameters and tracking pixels (e.g., Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag) are correctly implemented and verified before launch.
Target · 100%

Before a new ad campaign goes live, you'll need to confirm that every link has the correct UTMs and that the conversion pixel is firing. If even one is wrong, that's a miss.

Email & Landing Page Quality
The number of errors (e.g., broken links, typos, incorrect images) found in emails and landing pages you've built, before they go live.
Target · <2 errors per asset

You build an email and a landing page. Your Campaign Manager finds one broken link in the email and a typo on the landing page. That's two errors across two assets.

Reporting Data Accuracy
The correctness of the data you pull for weekly or monthly campaign performance reports.
Target · <2% error rate

When asked to pull the number of clicks from Google Ads for a report, you accidentally pull impressions instead. That's an error. We want you to catch these before the report goes to others.

Proactive Communication
How well you communicate progress, potential roadblocks, or questions without being prompted.
  • You'll be telling your Campaign Manager about a delay before they ask. You'll flag a potential issue with a creative asset early. You'll ask clarifying questions when a brief isn't clear, rather than just guessing.
Learning & Adaptability
Your willingness to learn new tools and processes, and how quickly you apply feedback.
  • After being shown a new way to set up a form, you'll use it correctly next time. You'll actively ask for feedback on your work and show improvement. You'll be keen to jump into new platforms or tasks, even if they're unfamiliar.
Attention to Detail
Your ability to spot small but critical errors in your own work and follow instructions precisely.
  • You'll catch the typo in the email subject line before it's sent. You'll double-check UTMs without needing a reminder. You'll follow the campaign checklist exactly, making sure nothing is missed.
Team Collaboration & Support
How effectively you work with others and offer support when needed.
  • You'll offer to help a team member if your own tasks are complete. You'll respond promptly to requests from the creative team. You'll be a positive presence in team meetings, ready to contribute.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Learning & Development

You'll be exposed to a wide array of marketing tools and strategies. Every task is a chance to learn something new, from setting up a complex email journey to understanding ad platform nuances. We'll give you plenty of chances to ask questions and get hands-on experience.

You'll get to sit in on strategy meetings, even if you're not contributing much yet, just to hear how decisions are made. You'll be shown how to use HubSpot, then given tasks to practice those skills.

Tangible Impact & Contribution

You'll see your work go live quickly. The emails you build, the landing pages you set up, the ads you help launch—they'll be out there, generating results. You'll feel like a vital part of the team, knowing your efforts directly contribute to campaign success.

You'll set up a series of social ads, and the next day, you'll see the clicks and leads coming in. You'll know that wouldn't have happened without you getting the setup right.

Structured Environment & Clear Guidance

You'll get clear instructions, regular check-ins, and plenty of support from your Campaign Manager. We've got processes and templates for most things, so you won't be left guessing. It's a great place to build a strong foundation.

You'll have a weekly 1:1 with your manager to discuss tasks, progress, and any blockers. You'll be given a detailed checklist for every campaign launch.

What frustrates people
  • Dealing with messy data or inconsistent naming conventions from previous campaigns.
  • Having to chase people for assets or approvals, which can delay your own tasks.
  • The sheer volume of small, fiddly tasks that need to be done perfectly.
  • Seeing a campaign you've worked hard on get paused or changed at the last minute for reasons outside your control.
What this role does not give you
  • Full creative control over campaign messaging or design.
  • Strategic decision-making authority on budget allocation or channel mix.
  • A quiet, predictable workload; expect some urgent requests.
  • Immediate opportunities to manage a team or lead large-scale projects.

8Who you work with

Your work directly impacts the efficiency and accuracy of our marketing campaigns. If you get the tracking right, we know what's working. If you get the emails out on time, our audience stays engaged. Essentially, you're helping us avoid wasted spend and missed opportunities, which means the company can grow faster. It's about making sure the gears turn smoothly so the bigger marketing machine can do its job.

Inside the business
  • Campaign Managers (your direct line, they'll give you tasks and feedback)
  • Creative Team (they'll hand you assets, you'll help get them live)
  • Web Team (you'll ask them to check landing pages, they'll help with technical bits)
  • Sales Team (they'll be waiting for the leads you help generate)
Outside the business
  • Marketing Automation Platform Support (when things break, you'll be the one raising a ticket)
  • Ad Platform Support (occasionally, you'll help troubleshoot minor issues with ad accounts)

9What you need before you start

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

  • A genuine interest in digital marketing and how campaigns work.
  • Proven ability to follow instructions accurately and meticulously.
  • Experience using a CRM or marketing automation platform (even in a basic capacity) or a strong aptitude for learning new software quickly.
  • Excellent written English skills, with a keen eye for detail and grammar.
  • Basic analytical skills – you can read a spreadsheet and spot obvious trends or errors.
  • A track record of managing your own tasks and meeting deadlines, perhaps from university projects or previous work experience.

10What to practise next

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

Advanced Marketing Automation Workflows

As our campaigns become more sophisticated, we'll need to build more complex customer journeys, not just simple email sends. This means understanding branching logic, delays, and integration points.

Conditional Logic · Lead Scoring Triggers · A/B Testing within Workflows

  • This quarter: Ask your Campaign Manager to walk you through a more complex workflow they've built.
  • Next quarter: Take an online course on advanced HubSpot (or Marketo/Pardot) workflow building.
  • Month 6: Propose a small optimisation to an existing workflow, like adding a new branch for disengaged contacts.
  • Month 9: Shadow your Campaign Manager when they're designing a new, multi-stage nurture journey.

Quick win: Familiarise yourself with all the different 'actions' and 'triggers' available in our marketing automation platform. Just knowing what's possible is a great start.

Google Tag Manager (GTM) for Event Tracking

Relying solely on basic page view tracking isn't enough anymore. We need to track specific user actions (like button clicks, video plays, form submissions) to truly understand campaign performance and user behaviour. GTM is the key to doing this efficiently.

Tags, Triggers, and Variables · Data Layer · Debugging GTM

  • This month: Watch some beginner tutorials on Google Tag Manager on YouTube.
  • Next month: Ask the Web Team or your Campaign Manager to show you how they set up a simple event in GTM.
  • Month 3: Try to set up a basic button click tracking event in a test environment.
  • Month 6: Take a certified Google Tag Manager course online.

Quick win: Just install the 'Tag Assistant Companion' browser extension and start exploring how GTM is set up on different websites you visit. It's a great way to learn by example.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attend industry webinars and online workshops on digital marketing trends and tools.
  • Follow key marketing thought leaders and publications (e.g., Marketing Week, Search Engine Journal).
  • Take free online courses on platforms like Coursera, Udemy, or Google Skillshop to deepen your knowledge of specific tools or concepts.
  • Actively participate in internal training sessions and ask questions about new processes or platforms.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of campaign work involves repetitive tasks and sifting through data. AI isn't here to replace you, but it's brilliant at taking the grunt work off your plate, freeing you up to learn more and focus on what actually matters. Think of it as your super-efficient assistant.

As a Marketing Campaign Coordinator, you'll find AI incredibly helpful for speeding up content creation, making sense of numbers, and even brainstorming. It means less time on the tedious bits and more time learning the bigger picture of campaign management.

Ad Copy & Variant Generation

Use tools like Jasper.ai or ChatGPT to quickly draft multiple versions of ad headlines, body copy, and social media posts from a simple brief. You'll get a stack of options to review, saving you hours of staring at a blank page. It's great for getting those A/B test ideas flowing.

Creative Concept Brainstorming

Stuck for ideas for an ad visual? Use image generation tools like Midjourney or DALL-E to rapidly create visual concepts. Instead of trying to describe a complex idea to a designer, you can show them a starting point, which really speeds things up.

Automated Performance Summaries

Feed your raw campaign data from Google Ads or HubSpot into ChatGPT's Advanced Data Analysis feature. Prompt it to 'Summarise last week's campaign performance, highlight key trends, and flag any anomalies.' You'll get a clear summary in minutes, not hours.

Email Content Drafting

Need to draft a nurture email or a follow-up? Give an AI tool the key points, audience, and call-to-action, and it'll generate a first draft. You'll still need to edit and refine it, of course, but it cuts out the initial blank-page struggle.
