Requirements

What you’ll need

6–8+ years of marketing experience, with a strong focus on channel strategy and distribution
Proven expertise in email marketing (Marketing Cloud Account Engagement or equivalent) — including segmentation, automation, A/B testing, and performance analysis
Demonstrated proficiency using AI tools to improve marketing efficiency, personalization, or content at scale
Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate data into clear, actionable insights
Comfort operating in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment — you make real-time calls, pivot quickly, and keep campaigns on track under pressure
Excellent stakeholder management skills — you can coordinate across teams while influencing without authority
Ability to "Learn Out Loud" by experimenting with new tools and documenting wins for the team
A track record of experimenting with 'un-automatable' marketing tactics — like surprise-and-delight moments or high-touch community building — that defy standard digital patterns.
