Email Marketing & Automation Strategist (Salesforce Marketing Cloud)- onsite in Charlotte

Summary

At Carolina Cat, we are a trailblazing organization that is built to last. We strive to be a diverse and inclusive organization where everyone feels welcome, and our differences are valued as competitive advantages. Trust is our bottom line, and we are proud to serve our employees as a partner in their success. We make smart investments in our company and that starts with our people. The marketing team plays a key strategic role in the success of delivering business results and superior customer experiences, and we are looking for an Email Marketing & Automation Strategist to join our team.

We're hiring a marketer who designs great emails, builds the strategy behind our automation, and can show leadership what it earns. You'll own our email program from idea to results. You'll design every email, decide how customers move through journeys, build those journeys in Salesforce Marketing Cloud, and report weekly on how email contributes to revenue. You'll work side by side with our marketing managers, who bring the campaign goals, and our Salesforce Data Cloud developer, who handles the data foundation.

What you'll do

Design and create

• Design all customer-facing and employee-facing emails, from concept to coded build, in our brand voice and visual standards
• Build responsive, tested emails in Content Builder using HTML/CSS and reusable templates
• Use AMPscript to personalize content and make emails smarter

Lead email automation strategy

• Set the strategy for how and when we automate email: welcome, nurture, lifecycle, and re-engagement journeys
• Build the front end of journeys in Journey Builder, including entry criteria, decision splits, timing, and content
• Partner with marketing managers to turn campaign goals into journeys and audiences
• Work with our Data Cloud developer to define the audiences and data you need, then use them for segmentation and personalization

Measure and report on revenue

• Report weekly to leadership on email performance tied to revenue, not just opens and clicks
• Run A/B tests and use the results to improve subject lines, design, timing, and journey logic
• Watch deliverability and list health, and recommend changes before problems surface

Continuous Learning & Innovation

• Develop a strong business acumen for Carolina Cat's products, offers, services, and business practices
