7Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Building a High-Performing Team

You'll get a real buzz from seeing your team members develop new skills, take on bigger challenges, and celebrate their successes. Your 1:1s will often focus on growth plans and removing blockers. You'll spend time coaching on tricky situations.

One of your Campaign Managers lands a significant improvement in MQL-to-SQL conversion on a key campaign, and you know your coaching helped them get there. That's your win.

Driving Strategic Impact

You're motivated by seeing your team's work directly contribute to the company's bottom line. You'll love connecting campaign performance to pipeline generation and revenue, and you'll be actively looking for ways to optimise that connection. You'll be involved in quarterly planning, shaping the 'what' and 'how' of our campaign efforts.

Presenting to leadership on how your team's campaigns generated £X million in pipeline, and then getting approval for a new strategic initiative based on those results.

Optimising Systems and Processes

You'll enjoy the challenge of taking a complex, often messy, campaign process and making it smoother, faster, and more effective. This means designing new workflows, implementing better tools, and creating clear guidelines for your team. You're the one who asks, 'How can we do this smarter?'

You implement a new campaign briefing template and project management workflow that cuts campaign launch time by 20% across the team, freeing them up for more impactful work.

What frustrates people
  • Dealing with constant last-minute 'urgent' requests from senior leaders that derail your team's carefully planned roadmap, forcing you to re-prioritise and manage expectations.
  • The 'Sales Black Hole' problem, but at scale: your team generates hundreds of quality leads, but they don't get followed up on effectively, leading to questions about Marketing's impact.
  • Having to fight for budget or resources for your team, even when you've clearly demonstrated ROI, because other departments have their own priorities.
  • Managing team members through performance challenges or interpersonal conflicts, which can be emotionally draining and time-consuming.
  • Implementing a new process or tool only to find half the team isn't following it, requiring constant reinforcement and re-training.
  • The pressure of being accountable for team-level targets, knowing that individual performance issues can impact your overall numbers.
What this role does not give you
  • The day-to-day satisfaction of personally executing a campaign from start to finish—you'll be more hands-off, guiding your team instead.
  • A completely predictable workload; managing people and strategic initiatives means constant context-switching and dealing with unexpected issues.
  • A role where you can avoid difficult conversations; you'll be giving feedback, coaching, and sometimes having tough performance discussions.
  • Unlimited budget or resources; you'll always be optimising and making trade-offs.

8Who you work with

This role directly impacts our ability to generate qualified leads and build pipeline for the sales team. You're responsible for the efficiency and effectiveness of our campaign engine, influencing everything from market awareness to revenue generation. A well-run campaign management function means predictable growth and a happy Sales team; a poorly run one means wasted budget and missed targets.

Inside the business
  • Director of Demand Generation (your boss, for strategic alignment)
  • Product Marketing Leads (for campaign messaging and product launches)
  • Sales Leadership (for lead quality and pipeline targets)
  • Marketing Operations (for tech stack and data infrastructure)
  • Content Team (for campaign assets and messaging)
  • Creative Team (for campaign visuals and design)
Outside the business
  • Key agency partners (for paid media or creative support)
  • Technology vendors (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce reps for strategic updates)
  • Industry peers (for benchmarking and best practices)

9What you need before you start

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

  • Proven experience (typically 5-8 years) as a Senior Campaign Manager or Lead Campaign Strategist, demonstrating the ability to independently own and drive complex, multi-channel campaigns from end-to-end.
  • A track record of successfully mentoring or informally leading junior team members, showing a natural aptitude for people development.
  • Deep expertise in at least one major marketing automation platform (e.g., HubSpot, Marketo) and a strong understanding of its integration with CRM (Salesforce).
  • Demonstrated ability to manage significant campaign budgets (e.g., £200K+ annually) and report on ROI effectively.
  • Strong analytical skills, including the ability to interpret complex campaign data, identify actionable insights, and present them clearly to senior stakeholders.
  • Experience in designing and implementing new campaign processes or frameworks that improved efficiency or effectiveness for a team or workstream.

10What to practise next

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

Marketing Technology (MarTech) Stack Optimisation

The MarTech landscape is exploding, with thousands of tools. As a manager, you need to be able to strategically evaluate, integrate, and optimise our entire MarTech stack to ensure it supports our campaign goals and team efficiency. This means understanding how tools talk to each other and identifying gaps.

MarTech landscape mapping and vendor evaluation · API integrations and data flow architecture · Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for MarTech investme · Vendor relationship management and contract negoti · Data governance and security across the MarTech st

  • This week: Map out our current MarTech stack, identifying key integrations and data flows.
  • This month: Research 2-3 new tools that could solve a current team challenge or unlock a new capability.
  • Month 2: Develop a 'wish list' for MarTech improvements, complete with potential ROI.
  • Month 3: Schedule meetings with key MarTech vendors to understand their roadmaps and capabilities.

Quick win: Identify one under-utilised feature in an existing MarTech tool that could immediately boost your team's productivity and train them on it.

Advanced Analytics & Business Intelligence for Campaigns

Moving beyond basic campaign reports, you'll need to drive the development of advanced analytics that provide true business intelligence. This means connecting campaign data to broader business outcomes (e.g., customer lifetime value, market share) and presenting these insights in a way that informs C-suite decisions.

Econometric modelling for marketing mix optimisati · Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV) attribution · Predictive modelling for campaign performance · Data warehousing and ETL processes for marketing d · Building executive-level dashboards and narratives

  • This quarter: Partner with our Data Science team to understand their capabilities and how they can support campaign analytics.
  • Next quarter: Identify one key business question that current campaign reporting can't answer and work to build a solution.
  • Month 4: Learn the basics of a data visualisation tool like Power BI or Looker Studio if you're not already expert.
  • Month 6: Present a new, executive-level campaign performance dashboard that ties directly to business KPIs.

Quick win: Challenge your team to include a 'so what?' section in every report, explaining the business implication of the numbers, not just the numbers themselves.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Actively participate in industry forums, webinars, and conferences (e.g., Marketing Week Live, Festival of Marketing) to stay ahead of trends and network with peers.
  • Subscribe to leading marketing publications and newsletters (e.g., Econsultancy, MarketingProfs, Adweek) to keep your finger on the pulse.
  • Seek out mentorship from senior marketing leaders, either internally or externally, to gain strategic insights and leadership advice.
  • Take online courses or workshops on advanced analytics, AI in marketing, or leadership development to continuously hone your skills.
  • Actively engage in cross-functional projects that broaden your understanding of other business areas (e.g., working with Product on a new launch strategy).

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, managing a team of Campaign Managers and overseeing a complex campaign calendar is a lot. The good news? AI isn't just for junior roles anymore. As a Group Manager, you can use AI to significantly boost your team's efficiency, free up their time for more strategic work, and get better insights faster. This isn't about replacing people; it's about making your team—and you—smarter and more effective.

We're building an AI-first culture here. For a Group Manager in Campaign Management, that means leveraging AI to streamline team operations, enhance strategic decision-making, and ensure better governance. Think less time on manual reporting and more time coaching your team or refining our overall campaign approach. We've even got a dedicated AI Productivity Hub to help you and your team get started.

Automated Performance Synthesis

Feed your team's raw campaign data from various platforms (Google Ads, HubSpot, Salesforce) into an AI tool like ChatGPT's Advanced Data Analysis. Prompt it to identify key trends, flag anomalies, and summarise performance across multiple campaigns or channels. This gives you a high-level overview in minutes, not hours, so you can focus on strategic adjustments and coaching.

Strategic Content Governance & Review

Use AI to quickly review and provide feedback on campaign copy and creative concepts drafted by your team. AI can check for brand voice consistency, grammatical errors, and even suggest improvements for conversion rates based on best practices. This speeds up your review cycles and ensures higher quality output before assets go live.

Predictive Resource Allocation

Integrate AI-driven insights with your project management system (like Asana). AI can help predict campaign complexity and required effort based on historical data, allowing you to more accurately allocate resources across your team, identify potential bottlenecks before they happen, and balance workloads more effectively. No more guessing games.

Team Development & Coaching Prompts

Use AI to help you prepare for 1:1s and performance reviews. Input anonymised performance data or specific scenarios, and ask for coaching frameworks, constructive feedback strategies, or even potential development plan suggestions for your team members. It's like having a virtual leadership coach in your pocket.
