Job Description

Responsibilities

  • At least 4 years of experience in direct-response email copywriting
  • At least 5 years of experience evaluating marketing performance using lower-funnel conversion metrics (reactivation volume, CPR, velocity)

Preferred

  • Strong project management skills, organization skills, and attention to detail
  • Demonstrated experience managing multiple stakeholders and working cross functionally
  • At minimum 1 year of hands-on experience writing SQL queries for database segmentation and troubleshooting HTML/CSS templates
