  • Ensure campaigns comply with CAN-SPAM, GDPR, and CCPA.
  • Performance Optimization :

  • Run A / B tests on subject lines, copy, CTAs, and send times.
  • Analyze metrics (open rate, CTR, conversion, unsubscribe).
  • Iterate campaigns based on data insights.
  • Reporting :

  • Build weekly / monthly dashboards with campaign performance.
  • Track revenue attribution by integrating ESP data with Google Analytics, Looker, or CRM dashboards.
  • Present findings and recommendations to sales / marketing leadership.
  • What Makes You a Perfect Fit :

  • Strong balance between creativity and data-driven analysis.
  • Excellent copywriting and attention to detail.
  • Technically capable of solving deliverability and ESP configuration issues.
  • Organized and able to manage multiple campaigns simultaneously.
  • Required Experience & Skills (Minimum) :

  • Ideal Experience & Skills :

  • Managed email programs for 50k+ contacts.
  • Familiarity with deliverability monitoring tools (Litmus, GlockApps).
