About The Role
Digital Strategist – Website Management (Senior Project Lead)
Position Overview
We are looking for a Digital Strategist to own the website programme end to end for Marmon businesses. This role sets the direction for how our business websites grow: building the demand and competitive picture for each business, defining the 12 month roadmap and the success measures, and acting as the single named point of contact the business talks to. The person will run discovery with Marmon business marketing and business IT teams, chair the monthly performance review, and own the value story with finance. It is a role for someone who can hold a strategy conversation with a group president in the morning and work through a site backlog with engineers in the afternoon.

- Proven ability to build search demand models, competitive positioning and multi year digital visibility plans that link to business KPIs
- Strong stakeholder facilitation and executive communication skills, credible with senior business and marketing leadership
- Working command of the web stack and web analytics, enough to challenge SEO, UX, content and engineering decisions on substance
Desired Skills
- Experience running a shared services or global capability centre model across multiple business units
- Exposure to WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify Plus, PIM and API led integration architectures
- Familiarity with AI search, answer engines and LLM visibility as a strategic channel

Key Responsibilities

- Build the audience, demand and competitive picture for each business and define the KPIs the programme will be judged on
- Chair the monthly performance review with the business and present progress, risks and value delivered
- Set scope discipline across the team and say no to work that does not move an agreed metric
- Work with the SEO, content, UX and analytics specialists to sequence their work into one coherent plan
- Support the service catalogue, pricing and onboarding of new businesses into the website capability
Opportunities for Growth
- Shape a brand new capability from the ground up rather than inherit someone else’s operating model
- Exposure to 15+ Marmon businesses across rail, medical, water, retail, plumbing and refrigeration
- Direct visibility with Marmon business marketing leadership and group level stakeholders
- Ownership of platform strategy decisions alongside the website and commerce platform evaluation
- Pathway to lead the wider Digital Solutions practice as the capability scales
