Engagement Marketing Manager

Join to apply for the Engagement Marketing Manager role at The Economist

We are an organisation that exists to drive progress. That's the “red thread” that connects everyone at The Economist Group (TEG). Our businesses share a devotion to innovation, independence and rigour in their fields of expertise. We empower people to understand and tackle the critical challenges and changes facing the world. Our analytical rigour, global expertise and evidence-based insights enable individuals and organisations to make sense of these shifts and chart a course through them.

We deliver analysis and insights in many formats to subscribers and clients in 170 countries through our four businesses, The Economist, Economist Impact, Economist Intelligence and Economist Education, which uphold our global reputation for excellence and integrity.

The Economist is the leading source of analysis on international business and world affairs. We deliver our information through a range of formats, from newspapers and magazines to conferences and electronic services. What ties us together is the objectivity of our opinion, the originality of our insight and our advocacy of economic and political freedom around the world. The Economist Pro is the B2B arm of our core subscriptions business.

We are seeking a talented marketing professional who will elevate our efforts to drive engagement within our B2B subscriber base, spanning across corporate, government and education clients. The role will be responsible for planning and executing global, multi‑channel marketing campaigns to drive end‑user engagement with The Economist’s suite of content and products. Reporting to the Head of marketing for The Economist Pro, the individual will also work closely with the Customer Success team to support revenue retention and growth.

The role is perfect for someone who is equally passionate about strategy and execution, and is comfortable working in a start‑up environment. The ideal candidate will be highly analytical, but also able to think creatively about how we should promote our world‑renowned content to a diverse client subscriber base. B2B marketing experience would be beneficial but not essential. An understanding or experience of subscription marketing would also be beneficial.

• Monitor effective benchmarks (best practices) for developing and building customer engagement in a subscriptions business, working closely with colleagues in the data and insights, research and customer success teams, and report on performance of campaigns against KPIs and budget
• Measure impact of initiatives, by client and sector, and develop recommendations for segments of end users to plan relevant and targeted campaigns
• Work in partnership with Editorial and retention teams to identify, package and surface the most compelling editorial content, and identify content marketing opportunities for different clients
• Develop bespoke or innovative ways to drive engagement for different cohorts beyond our regular marketing channels, such as events, experiential and merchandising
