CRM Developer - Mat Cover

Job Introduction

Are you looking for a new CRM Developer role that gives you the chance to use your creativity and work with a variety of email communications? Are you looking for a fixed term contract that will provide you with valuable experience and professional growth? Looking for a company that wants to help further your career in CRM as well as provide you with an exciting, inspiring and fun place to work?  

If the answer to all of these questions is ‘yes’ then you’re just the kind of person we’re looking for! 

Role Responsibility

As our new CRM Designer & Developer, you’ll design and develop a wide variety of email communications for the Selfridges customer.  As part of this, you will: 

• Fully support the CRM team where you’ll be designing and building email campaigns that meet the requirements of the brief and tight deadlines. 

• Work closely with the multimedia team to make sure the creative is on brand.  

• Make sure email campaigns are optimised for all browsers and devices.  

• Use your creativity and initiative to source additional imagery and assets where content is not readily available. 

• Provide forward thinking ideas and concepts to innovate and evolve our marketing campaigns to really take this channel to the next level. 

• Identify creative A/B testing opportunities alongside the CRM Manager and ensure email campaign output is executed to the highest standard.  

You’ll be reporting into the CRM Manager as well as working closely internally with the Customer Marketing and Insights team.  

The Ideal Candidate

• You’ll be highly skilled in HTML coding with experience of using this from your previous role.  

• You’ll know your way around Adobe Photoshop and have previous experience of working on both small and large-scale projects. 

• This job is a brilliant opportunity to join a close-knit team who are incredibly passionate about taking the channel to the next level. If you’re looking to come into a new role and make a real impact, then this will be perfect for you. It doesn’t just stop at CRM either - we have lots of opportunities to get involved and collaborate on projects and in communities internally, so no two days will ever be the same. As Harry Gordon Selfridge once said, ‘There’s no fun like work!’ 

• You’ll be a strong conceptual thinker who isn’t afraid to be bold and share their ideas. 

• You’ll be a multi-tasker and you’ll know how to prioritise your workload.    

• This is a role with constant deadline pressure, so you’ll be comfortable with that, and you’ll know how to deal with multiple projects across several teams in a calm yet effective way.
