• Occasionally write email copy - especially for monthly newsletters, and review and optimize email content provided by campaign managers.
• Align with Product and Product Marketing to incorporate launches, feature adoption, and product education into lifecycle communications.
• Conduct structured testing (subject lines, content, CTAs, send times, audience splits) to improve engagement and conversion.
• Optimize deliverability, list health, and sender reputation, ensuring compliance with global data privacy regulations (GDPR, CAN-SPAM, etc.).
• Maintain campaign calendars and ensure timely execution aligned with broader integrated campaigns.
• Partner with regional teams to determine when to centralize versus localize messaging based on market maturity and performance.
• Analyze performance trends and provide monthly reporting with clear, actionable insights.
• Partner with Marketing Ops and Data teams to ensure tracking accuracy and attribution alignment.
• Provide segmentation and messaging recommendations to ABM and Campaign Managers, Partner Marketing, Creative and Content teams to improve efficiency.

Qualifications

• 4–7 years of experience in B2B email marketing or lifecycle marketing, ideally in technology or data-related industries.
• Hands-on experience with marketing automation platforms (e.g., Marketo, HubSpot, Pardot, etc.).
• Strong understanding of segmentation, personalization, and behavioral triggers in a multi-touch buyer journey.
• Experience building nurture programs that contribute to measurable pipeline growth.
• Analytical mindset with the ability to translate performance data into actionable optimizations.
• Familiarity with email deliverability best practices and global compliance requirements.
• Highly organized with strong operational discipline and attention to detail.
