• Managing paid media activity across search, social, metasearch and display channels.
• Monitoring and optimising marketing performance against key commercial metrics including ROAS, CPA, conversion and revenue.
• Leading OTA marketing and promotional activity across partners including Booking.com, Expedia and Trip.com.
• Working closely with Revenue and Distribution teams to maximise channel performance and commercial opportunities.
• Owning the performance and optimisation of our websites and booking engine, improving customer journeys and conversion rates.
• Developing CRM and email marketing campaigns that increase direct bookings, repeat stays and guest engagement.
• Using data, insights and reporting to identify opportunities, trends and areas for optimisation.
• Managing agency relationships, budgets and suppliers to ensure strong commercial returns.
• Supporting trading plans, tactical campaigns and promotional activity aligned to business priorities.
• Delivering clear reporting and recommendations that support commercial decision-making across the business.

You’ll also contribute ideas, innovation and best practice that help Imperial London Hotels continue to strengthen its direct booking strategy and maximise long-term commercial growth.

What We’re Looking For:

• You will have experience in hotel e-commerce, digital marketing, performance marketing or distribution within the Hospitality sector.
• A strong understanding of hotel distribution, revenue management principles and OTA channels.
• Proven experience delivering growth in direct bookings and digital revenue.
• Hands-on experience managing paid search, paid social, metasearch and digital acquisition campaigns.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret data and turn insight into action.
• Experience with platforms such as Google Ads, Google Analytics 4, Tag Manager and reporting dashboards.
• Commercially minded with a focus on performance, profitability and continuous improvement.
• Curious, proactive and motivated by solving problems and identifying opportunities.
• Comfortable working across multiple stakeholders and influencing decisions.
• Passionate about digital marketing, hospitality and creating exceptional customer journeys.
