KPIs You'll Own

Email Open Rate

Target 6%+ open rates; signals list health, subject line effectiveness, and send-time optimization.

SMS Conversion Rate

Track clicks and policy submissions; SMS typically converts 3-5x higher than email in insurance.

Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) by Channel

Monitor email and SMS CPA vs. paid channels; prove organic CRM ROI to leadership.

Unsubscribe/Complaint Rate

Keep complaint rate <0.1%; rising complaints signal poor segmentation or regulatory compliance risk.

Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've managed 5+ years of email and SMS campaigns with hard metrics (open rates, conversions, ROI) to show for it
  • You've led a small team (2-5 people) and enjoy coaching, delegation, and building systems that scale
  • You thrive in regulated industries (healthcare, finance, insurance) and understand compliance constraints as creative challenges
  • You're analytical but not paralyzed; you ship experiments quickly, measure ruthlessly, and iterate based on data
Won't Work If
  • You want full remote work; this is on-site in Raleigh-Durham
  • You lack direct people management experience or are uncomfortable coaching and holding a team accountable
  • You've only worked in consumer-friendly verticals; insurance regulations and carrier approval cycles will feel slow
