We are looking for a CRM Manager who is passionate about building meaningful customer relationships through data-driven lifecycle marketing. This role owns the execution and optimisation of CRM programmes end-to-end — from campaign planning and automated journeys to segmentation, experimentation, and performance reporting.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on CRM practitioner who enjoys being close to the work: building journeys, analysing customer behaviour, identifying opportunities, and turning insights into actions that improve engagement, retention, and lifetime value.

You will act as the CRM subject matter expert, partnering closely with Product, Marketing, Data & Analytics, Performance Marketing, On-site teams, and external technology partners to create connected customer experiences across the full lifecycle, from acquisition and onboarding through retention, upsell, and re-engagement.

This is a commercially focused role where success is measured through customer engagement, subscription performance, repeat revenue, and continuous optimisation.

What You Will Do

• Own and optimise CRM programmes across campaign planning, segmentation, audience management, and customer communications.
• Manage CRM execution across platforms including Salesforce Cloud, Lytics, Monday.com, and support the upcoming Braze migration.
• Use customer data and insights to improve segmentation, targeting, email strategy, and engagement.
• Identify opportunities, make recommendations, and implement CRM improvements and best practices.
• Improve CRM processes, reporting, and ways of working to support commercial goals and customer engagement.
• Partner with UK Marketing, Lifecycle Marketing, Product, Growth Marketing, Production/On-site teams, and Creative Studio to deliver connected customer experiences.
• Bring a test-and-learn mindset and leverage AI tools to improve CRM workflows, efficiency, and innovation.

Who You Are

• A hands-on CRM professional with experience managing customer communications, segmentation, and CRM programmes.
• Experienced with CRM platforms such as Salesforce Cloud, Braze, Lytics, or similar tools.
• Able to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution, taking ownership of initiatives from idea through implementation.
• Comfortable using customer data and insights to identify opportunities and improve performance.
• Strong communicator who can collaborate across teams and influence stakeholders.
• Curious, proactive, and passionate about improving customer experiences and ways of working.
• Experience in subscription, e-commerce, retail, streaming, or other customer-focused businesses is preferred.

Why Ancestry?

Join a team helping millions of people discover and connect with their personal history. At Ancestry, you will have the opportunity to shape customer experiences at scale, using technology, data, and creativity to help people engage with the stories that matter most.

You will work in a collaborative environment where your ideas, insights, and expertise directly contribute to improving how customers discover, connect, and return to our products.
