Reporting to the Marketing Director and a key part of the Management Team within Marketing, this role is focused on setting a clear vision and strategy for the website and ensuring our customers are presented with a fantastic experience that brings our products to life. In January 2022, our new greenfield website goes live, moving to a headless CMS system, Storyblok. We’ve delivered an improved customer expereince and a faster site as a result, but there is still a lot to do to continue our digital journey and drive growth through this channel.
