Lloyd Recruitment Services is delighted to be partnering with a long-standing client, a leading travel and leisure business, in their search for a Head of Digital to join their team. This is a newly created role, established to support the company’s ongoing growth and investment within digital marketing.
About the role:
This is a unique opportunity to shape and lead the digital strategy for a well-known travel and tourism brand. As Head of Digital, you’ll define and deliver a data-driven roadmap that drives growth, engagement, and customer loyalty across multiple online platforms, including websites and mobile apps.
You’ll lead a talented digital team, oversee analytics and performance, and champion innovation, personalisation, and customer-first digital experiences.

- Oversee digital budgets, agency relationships, and technology partnerships.
- Ensure compliance with GDPR, PECR, and digital regulations.
- Collaborate with senior stakeholders to deliver a cohesive marketing and digital roadmap.

- Strong understanding of UX principles and website optimisation.
- Experience leveraging AI and personalisation to improve customer experience and commercial performance.
- Exceptional leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
