• Lead the integrated marketing strategy across B2B WPH and B2B2C NHS Services.
• Lead the development and optimisation of digital channels, marketing technology, CRM and automation capabilities across WPH and NHS Services.
• Build a data‑led performance culture, establishing KPIs, dashboards and reporting frameworks that measure campaign effectiveness for investment, growth and improvement purposes.

• Provide strategic marketing input into bids, new service launches, contract mobilisations and proposition development.
• Manage and inspire a high‑performing team across both business units in a fast‑paced environment, offering advice and guidance, championing best practice.

• Inspiring marketing leader with a passion for developing high‑performing teams.
