Is This Role For You?
- You've spent 5+ years hands-on in Braze, Sailthru, or similar platforms building campaigns, not just reviewing them
- You think like a builder-you want to establish processes, define segmentation strategies, and own implementation end-to-end
- You're obsessed with testing, measurement, and turning customer behavior data into personalization that actually lifts retention
- You can partner cross-functionally (product, editorial, partnerships) without getting bogged down in politics
- You need remote flexibility-this is full-time on-site in NYC with no work-from-home option
- You're looking for a strategic-only role; this is executional with hands-on keyboard time building campaigns daily
- You haven't actually built campaigns in a CRM platform; theory and experience managing agencies don't cut it here
