The Professional Services team at Optimove delivers customer-centric, data-driven marketing programs, expert CRM strategy consulting, analytics & data science as a service, and outsourced CRM execution—tailored to each client’s business objectives and engagement goals. We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Strategic Consultant to join our Professional Services team in London. This role is ideal for a CRM strategist or marketing consultant who has led or owned business transformation projects, lifecycle programs, partnered directly with clients, and wants to shape high-impact CRM strategies across multiple industries in a dynamic, data-driven environment.
