We're looking for an experienced and dynamic CRM Lead to join our Marketing team and take ownership of our Customer Relationship Management strategy.
As the CRM Lead, you will manage and mentor two Digital CRM Managers and play a pivotal role in transforming our CRM processes and tools.
You will work cross-functionally with Marketing, Tech, Data, Customer Service, Sales, and B2B teams to establish a modern and efficient CRM strategy that drives engagement, retention, and growth.
From a Marketing perspective, CRM will be a key driver of Bottom of Funnel (BOFU) activity to convert leads into customers and maximise customer lifetime value.
You will be based in our Paarl office and serve as the most senior team member across all functions.
This role requires a passionate CRM leader with a deep understanding of HubSpot and significant experience running end-to-end CRM programmes.
Who we are We are Trade Nation.

How?
By minimising expenses and harnessing technology to prioritise the lowest trading costs.
But enough about us.
Let's hear about you.
Who you are You're something special.
You pride yourself on being unique and bringing your own history to the table – finding solutions to daily challenges in a way that can't be done by anyone else.
Maybe you talk a big game, maybe you don't.
The important thing is that you do what you say and follow through to see every customer thrive.
You don't play with the bumpers up.
That means breaking out of your lane when needed to help others – or forging your own completely.
Every problem is our problem and that's how you see it too.
Because Trade Nation's people have a shared vision, and you want to be part of making it a reality.
You know when to take the right sort of risks, the ones that push you to be better.
You're not afraid to try, fail, and then try harder.
But don't worry, you'll have all the support you need to thrive with us at Trade Nation, and we can't wait to enable you to learn and grow.
