Digital Experience Manager
Inside Travel Group – Bristol, UK
Inside Travel Group is currently accepting applications for a Digital Experience Manager to join our Marketing team based at our head office in Bristol, UK.
We’re on the hunt for a digital whizz to own the optimisation of our websites for traffic, usability and customer experience. We have two award-winning travel brands at very different stages of their digital journey – InsideAsia has a brand-new site which needs nurturing to its full potential, and InsideJapan - an outdated site that needs transforming to meet the future needs of the business.
You will have a strong portfolio of digital improvement projects and demonstrable experience leading on increasing website traffic and conversion rates for revenue generating sites. You will have developed project management approaches in small teams, taking a lead on the strategy, vision and execution of revenue generating websites.
You will also be well versed in customer research techniques and analysis of blended data sources to establish customer needs, existing performance and opportunities. We are not an e-commerce site and so it’s essential you understand the need to use multiple data sources (CRM/ bookings/ web analytics) to build a complete picture. Click here for full details of this role.
If that sounds like your kind of challenge, we’d love to hear from you! Please send an up-to-date CV and cover letter to [email protected].
Applications close: Wednesday 31st August 2022
