Senior Marketing Performance & Insight Manager

Senior Marketing Performance & Insights Manager

Join a team at the heart of commercial decision-making across some of Europe’s most recognised travel brands. As Marketing Performance & Insights Manager, you’ll play a key role in helping Awaze optimise marketing investment, improve trading performance, and unlock growth opportunities across our portfolio. Working across brands including Hoseasons, Cottages.com, NOVASOL, and the wider Awaze portfolio, you’ll turn complex performance data into clear commercial actions that drive measurable impact.

Your mission

As our new Marketing Performance & Insights Manager, your mission will be to proactively identify performance gaps, commercial risks, and growth opportunities across the Awaze portfolio and turn those insights into actions that deliver measurable business results.

You’ll work at the intersection of marketing, commercial performance, finance, and leadership, helping the business understand not just what is happening, but why it’s happening, what it means commercially, and what should happen next. Acting as a trusted expert in marketing and channel performance, you’ll translate complex data into clear commercial narratives, proactively investigate underlying performance drivers, and shape decisions that improve efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainable growth across multiple brands, channels, markets, and customer segments.

What you'll be doing

• Monitor and analyse marketing and trading performance across brands, channels, markets, and customer segments to identify risks and growth opportunities early

• Translate complex marketing and performance data into clear commercial narratives, actionable insights, and evidence-based recommendations that support strategic and operational decision-making across technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Partner closely with channel teams, commercial stakeholders, finance, and leadership teams to optimise marketing investment and improve commercial outcomes

• Diagnose underperformance, quantify commercial impact, and recommend actions that improve conversion, efficiency, and incremental return

• Challenge assumptions and investment decisions using data-driven analysis and commercial reasoning to improve forecasting accuracy and decision quality

• Help shape performance measurement frameworks, KPIs, and reporting approaches across the Awaze portfolio

• Drive a proactive culture of insight-led decision-making and accountability for commercial performance

• Support the balance between short-term trading priorities and long-term growth objectives across multiple brands and markets

• Act as the go-to expert on marketing and channel performance, proactively identifying efficiency opportunities, performance shifts, and underlying commercial drivers across the marketing mix

Who we’re looking for

You’ll thrive in this role if you’re someone who enjoys solving complex commercial problems, connecting data with decision-making, and influencing action through insight. You’re naturally curious, commercially minded, and proactive in identifying opportunities before they become business challenges.

We’re looking for someone who brings:

• Strong analytical and commercial problem-solving skills with the ability to interpret complex performance data

• Experience working with marketing, trading, or commercial performance analysis in a multi-channel environment

• The ability to influence and challenge senior stakeholders through clear, evidence-based recommendations

• A proactive mindset with a strong bias toward action and measurable outcomes

• Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to simplify complex performance data into clear, commercially meaningful narratives for different audiences

• Experience working cross-functionally with marketing, finance, commercial, and leadership teams

• A collaborative and agile approach to driving improvements and delivering impact

• Bonus points if you have experience working across multiple brands, markets, or international businesses

How you'll make an impact

• Identify and act on commercial risks and growth opportunities before they materially impact business performance

• Improve marketing efficiency and incremental return through insight-driven optimisation recommendations

• Strengthen performance visibility and accountability across brands, channels, and markets

• Influence strategic and operational decision-making through clear analysis and commercial storytelling

• Drive improvements in reporting, performance measurement, and insight generation capabilities

• Support the delivery of commercial targets through proactive performance management and optimisation

• Help build a culture of data-led decision-making across the wider business
