Be part of a community working together to make science better. A society publisher with the perfect blend of not-for-profit purpose and commercial perspective. Here, we help each other be the best we can be: a team big enough to impact and small enough to care.

We are looking for an experienced Campaign Manager to join our busy team for a 6 month (approximately) fixed term contract. You will work closely with the Marketing Manager and Head of Content and Engagement Marketing to implement the strategic vision for the ebooks programme.

The Campaign Manager will be accountable for achieving annual marketing objectives and KPIs for the ebooks programme through the implementation of multi-channel marketing campaigns (across email, social, search, in-person and virtual events, etc.)

Marketing strategies and activities will support the primary business goal of winning and retaining customers: primarily authors, reviewers, readers and conference organisers. Integral to this is the need to maximise content growth and visibility through the engagement of researchers with IOPP’s products and services.

• Responsible for performing monthly analysis for the ebooks programme and setting SMART objectives that directly support the publishing strategy for their products and overall business objectives.
• Plan and prioritise the marketing campaigns for the ebooks programme.
• Create engaging and impactful campaigns which support business objectives.
• Implement activities identified in the marketing plan to raise awareness, support article usage, and engage with authors.
• Collaborate with publishing colleagues to understand product positioning and campaign requirements.
• Collaborate with the marketing operations team to ensure the successful delivery of tactical email campaigns, including supplying campaign brief and marketing copy.
• Collaborate with the communications team to raise awareness, support usage and citations, and engagement with authors via press releases, interviews, news stories etc.
• Deliver presentations and produce reports as required.
• Make data-driven decisions when planning campaigns and activities to optimise performance.
• Fully understand and use multiple data systems to support and proactively suggest and plan activity.
