This role is challenging – above and beyond the day-to-day responsibilities, you’ll have a big role within a fast-paced team.

What you get to do every day:

• This role blends strategy and execution, providing the opportunity to truly own initiatives, from ideation through implementation. You’ll have a meaningful impact on how we interact with our customers, driving deeper connections and lasting loyalty.

• Own end-to-end lifecycle campaign execution, including segmentation, journey logic, dynamic content personalization, QA, deployment, and analysis.
• Lead the implementation and optimization of our loyalty program, anchored in customer insights, commercial impact, and seamless integration across our systems.
• Serve as the go-to expert on what our CRM platform can (and can’t) do—and how to push its limits. Stay ahead of trends in CRM tech, deliverability, and operational best practices.
• Monitor platform and campaign health—bounces, complaints, deliverability issues, and data sync errors—and own incident response plans.
• This overview isn’t exhaustive—we’re always evolving, and your responsibilities will too. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to take initiative, grow your role, and explore new ideas.

What you bring to the role:

• 4+ years of experience in CRM, retention, lifecycle, or email marketing—preferably in a fast-paced e-commerce or DTC environment.
• Experience hands-on in executing email marketing campaigns using ESPs.
• Strong organizational skills with meticulous attention to detail.
