✈️ Let Your Career Take Flight

At Virgin Atlantic, we believe in the power of people to redefine the possible. With an ambitious vision to become the most loved travel company, we're rewriting the rules of aviation—championing innovation, defying convention, and fostering a people-first culture where individuality is celebrated.

About the Role

As Lead CRM Experience, you'll be central to delivering our personalisation vision. You’ll shape end-to-end, segment-led customer journey plans and strategic playbooks that drive lifetime value and elevate Net Promoter Scores.

Key to this role is developing cross-channel, full-funnel customer experiences that align with commercial or customer experience objectives—ensuring every touchpoint supports our broader personalisation ambition.

You’ll identify journey variations across customer segments, collaborating with stakeholders to deliver a phased roadmap. Through robust hypotheses and test-and-learn methodologies, you’ll evolve and enhance our CRM segment playbooks.

You'll also lead the development of scalable processes and ways of working aligned with a Target Operating Model—driving consistent collaboration, ownership, and delivery across digital and non-digital CRM activity.

We’re looking for a strategic and commercially driven CRM leader with:
A degree or equivalent experience, and a proven track record of delivering both commercial and customer experience results.
Deep expertise in omni-channel journey planning, strategic roadmap development, and prioritisation frameworks.
Strong data literacy and hands-on experience with CRM platforms, supported by a test-and-learn mindset essential for operational model success.
Outstanding interpersonal skills—confident in influencing, collaborating, and fostering strong cross-functional relationships.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience presenting to senior leadership.
A high-performing mindset, comfortable working in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
