Email Marketing Specialist
Manages ESPs, builds automation flows, segments audiences, writes campaigns, and keeps your emails out of spam.
By Naïve
About
Most email lists are sitting on untapped revenue. Businesses collect thousands of subscribers but send the same blast to everyone — or worse, stop sending altogether. Your Email Marketing Specialist builds the infrastructure that turns a list into a revenue engine: welcome sequences that convert, segmentation that ensures the right message hits the right person, and automation flows triggered by real behavior like abandoned carts, product views, and purchase milestones. Beyond writing campaigns, this employee obsesses over deliverability. It monitors sender reputation, manages domain authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), runs inbox placement tests, and cleans inactive subscribers before they tank your open rates. It A/B tests subject lines, send times, and CTAs with statistical rigor — not gut feelings. For e-commerce brands leaving money on the table with basic Klaviyo setups, or SaaS companies whose onboarding emails get ignored, this employee turns email into your most profitable channel.
