Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've built and optimized full-funnel lifecycle email programs (nurture, onboarding, engagement, renewal) in B2B or B2B2C environments
  • You're fluent in Dynamics 365 or have deep expertise in another enterprise CRM and can translate between platforms
  • You combine technical chops (lead scoring, automation, segmentation logic) with strategic storytelling and business acumen
  • You thrive in cross-functional environments and can influence sales, design, and product teams without direct authority
  • You obsess over data quality, testing rigor, and measurable revenue impact—not vanity metrics
Won't Work If
  • You're looking for remote or hybrid flexibility; this is 100% on-site in St. Louis
  • You prefer hands-off strategy over hands-on execution—you'll code workflows, manage campaigns, and optimize daily
  • You lack CRM platform expertise or have only used basic email tools; Dynamics proficiency is table stakes
