The CRM Subscriptions Executive is responsible for leading the development and automation of personalised subscriber journeys through Braze. Leveraging data-driven insights and innovative approaches, you will drive deep engagement with our journalism, improve operational efficiencies, and maximise subscription revenue. From winning back lapsed users, to long-term retention and churn prevention, you will use multi-channel campaigns to build loyalty across our digital platforms.

Key Accountabilities:

• Mapping out personalised customer journeys across multiple channels (email, website, app, etc) through Braze to enhance reader engagement, habit formation, and long-term subscription retention.
• Owning the CRM calendar to closely align with product launches, promotions, major news events, and subscription promotional periods.
• Utilise customer data to segment audiences effectively, leveraging CRM tools to identify opportunities based on content consumption, paywall interactions, and current subscription tiers.
• Tailor content messaging and subscription offers based on reader preferences, reading habits, and specific lifecycle stages (e.g., anonymous user, registered user, trialist, active subscriber, at-risk/churning).
• Implement x-channel CRM lifecycle campaigns, covering building, proofing, testing, and sending automated flows to drive incremental subscription value (e.g., onboarding series, premium upgrade campaigns, and win-back flows).
• Conduct A/B tests to optimise personalisation strategies, messaging, and content delivery for maximum impact and effectiveness.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams such as Marketing, Commercial, Product, SEO, Tech & Data, to align initiatives with broader business goals.

• Previous experience working within a media, digital publishing, or newspaper environment, with a strong understanding of a subscription-first (B2C) business model is highly preferred.
• Knowledge of Braze (or equivalent enterprise CRM system) across campaign programming, conditional logic, A/B optimisation, data management, and identifying subscriber-level insights.
• Strong grasp of core subscription metrics (e.g., Churn, LTV, CAC, Trial Conversion Rate) and knowledge of how to use data to inform lifecycle design and drive habit-forming user behaviour (like daily reading or app adoption).
• High organisation skills, with meticulous attention to detail.
• Ability in interpreting results and communicating insights effectively to stakeholders.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and creating processes in complex environments to drive progress.
• Results-driven marketer with proven quantitative and analytical skills.
