CRM Executive

About the company

Digital Zone is a fast-growing digital payments and voucher platform, active in Iraq and expanding into Saudi Arabia and the UAE. We operate across gaming, telco, streaming, e-commerce, and live events, and we’re building the marketing team to match our ambitions. We’re looking for a CRM Executive in Iraq to own customer lifecycle marketing across our mini apps, taking over from the interim CRM Manager within the first 3 months.

Your tasks

Campaigns & lifecycle

• Plan and run a monthly CRM calendar across push, in-app, SMS, WhatsApp and email
• Build and optimise lifecycle journeys: onboarding, first purchase, repeat purchase, win-back and re-activation
• Launch event-driven campaigns for Ticket Zone, seasonal travel for Rahal, and gaming and top-up promotions
• Write and localise copy in Iraqi Arabic and English, with Kurdish where needed

Segmentation & data

• Segment users by behaviour, product, spend, location and lifecycle stage
• Run A/B tests on messages, timing, offers and channels, and roll out the winners
• Track and report weekly on open, click, conversion, retention and churn metrics
• Keep customer data clean and compliant with internal privacy and security rules

Offers & loyalty

• Design promo codes, cashback and referral mechanics, and monitor their cost and monetary impact
• Work with partnerships to secure brand offers that drive engagement

Collaboration

• Coordinate placements and messaging with product teams
• Brief design for creatives and work with product on in-app triggers
• Feed customer support insights into campaigns, including anti-fraud awareness messages

Handover

• Take over CRM tools, playbooks, campaign calendar and reporting from the interim CRM Manager
• Document processes so the CRM function runs independently
