About Chartered ABS
Chartered ABS is the representative body for the UK’s business school sector. Our award-winning team support our world-class business schools through lobbying, conferences, events, research, and national programmes such as the Help to Grow: Management Course. We are passionate about delivering a programme with a purpose. As the Senior Marketing Campaigns Manager, you will play a critical role in making the UK-wide Help to Grow: Management programme a success.
What is the Help to Grow: Management Course?
The Help to Grow: Management Course is a nationwide leadership course created to help small business leaders boost their leadership skills and the performance of their business. It consists of 12 modules, 1-to-1 mentoring and a peer network. The course is delivered by 60 business schools across the UK who are members of the Chartered Association of Business Schools (Chartered ABS) and have been accredited with the Small Business Charter.
The programme is promoted through a wide range of marketing activity which is delivered by the Chartered ABS Help to Grow: Management Demand Generation team and the business schools’ marketing teams. We target SME leaders that employ 5 to 249 employees and have been trading for at least a year. Small business leaders completing the course become members of the Help to Grow: Management Alumni Network, a network which will extend beyond the life of government funding for the course to become a continued source of support and growth for thousands of small business leaders. Over 10,000 business leaders have already enrolled on the course; this number grows by the week.
In April 2024, we launched Help to Grow: Management Essentials, a shorter, online course available for business leaders and managers not eligible, or not ready, for the 12-week leadership course.
Purpose of the post
This is a great opportunity to work on a nationwide government programme designed to help SME business leaders across the UK build resilience and growth. In this busy and wide-ranging role, you will work across all Help to Grow: Management customer acquisition activity, building on your experience to deliver high quality marketing campaigns that positively impact our enrolment numbers.
About the role
The Senior Marketing Campaigns Manager will work closely with the Head of Marketing and Communications, Senior Digital Marketing Manager, Senior Stakeholder Manager, Content Managers and Marketing Executive to create impactful, multi-channel marketing campaigns that generate registrations for both the Help to Grow: Management Course and Help to Grow: Management Essentials. The role will have responsibility for line managing the Marketing Executive.
Leading on developing and delivering best practice marketing campaigns across three different areas of our marketing strategy, the successful candidate will be responsible for:
• The vertical sector marketing campaign plan to generate enrolments from sectors such as accountancy, construction, and manufacturing for the Help to Grow: Management Course
• The marketing plan for Help to Grow: Management Essentials
• Stakeholder engagement communications plan and assets
This will require proven B2B marketing campaigns management expertise; the curiosity required to quickly develop an excellent understanding of our target audience and their challenges; and the ability to move between strategy and hands-on execution on a daily basis as we develop best practice campaign delivery skills across the team.
The Senior Marketing Campaigns Manager will be joining a collaborative and creative team that are passionate about the programme we deliver and the success of the SME leaders that complete our courses. In addition to the inhouse team, there is a PR agency, a freelance designer, and a B2B marketing agency that support with strategy.
The role will oversee the creation of high performing email nurturing journeys, accurate data segments and campaign landing pages that convert. It is expected that the Marketing Executive will take responsibility for most of the day-to-day execution and support will be provided by our CRM agency, the CRM team, and Senior Digital Marketing Manager, but it should be assumed that some tactical delivery is required from writing email copy to building campaign pages.
Alongside team meetings, the Senior Marketing Campaigns Manager should expect to be attending weekly meetings with business school marketing teams and our government, professional body, and trade association stakeholders.
