This role will be especially focused on building and maintaining automated email journeys, managing campaign logic, supporting segmentation and personalization, and ensuring a high level of technical quality across every deployment. This is a hands-on execution role for someone who enjoys working inside marketing automation platforms, translating lifecycle strategy into well-built campaigns, and making sure the data, audience logic, testing, QA and deployment details are accurate.

Translate campaign briefs and business requirements into audience strategy and campaign logic, leveraging CRM attributes, behavioral signals, guest history, trip interests, engagement data and suppression rules. Execute email campaigns from build through deployment, including template assembly, version management, stakeholder approvals, scheduling, targeting validation and on-time launch execution. Implement personalization and dynamic content using data-driven logic to deliver tailored subject lines, content modules, trip recommendations, and conditional messaging experiences across audience segments. Apply technical email production expertise to build, edit and troubleshoot email templates and content blocks, utilizing HTML, CSS, AMPscript (or similar scripting languages) and modular email design principles. Own campaign QA, testing and optimization, validating audience logic, personalization, dynamic content, rendering, links, tracking, suppression rules and overall campaign accuracy while executing A/B and multivariate tests to improve performance. Partner with marketing, analytics, CRM and technical teams to ensure accurate data integration and flow between Salesforce Sales Cloud, Salesforce Marketing Cloud and related systems. Maintain campaign documentation and operational excellence, including journey maps, segmentation rules, QA processes, naming conventions, deployment procedures, data quality standards, audience governance, deliverability best practices and compliance requirements. Monitor campaign and journey performance, analyze key metrics and identify opportunities to improve engagement, conversion, journey progression and overall nurture effectiveness through cross-functional collaboration. What you'll need to be successful: Must have 4+ years of experience in CRM, lifecycle marketing, email marketing, marketing automation or digital engagement, preferably within a direct-to-consumer (DTC) business environment. Must have hands-on Salesforce Marketing Cloud expertise, including Journey Builder, Email Studio, Automation Studio, Content Builder, and automated journey development. Working knowledge of Salesforce Sales Cloud, CRM integrations and customer data ecosystems, including how customer attributes, engagement signals, behavioral data and customer status inform segmentation, personalization and campaign orchestration. Experience building and managing lifecycle marketing programs, including lead nurture, inquiry nurture, abandoned browse, re-engagement, post-trip, repeat purchase, loyalty, referral and other automated customer journeys. Strong understanding of lifecycle marketing strategy, including audience segmentation, personalization, customer journey orchestration and translating business requirements into campaign logic, audience rules and deployment plans.
