We're looking for an Email Marketing Specialist to manage campaign scheduling, deploy creatives and landing page links, follow QA checklists, and manage email flows for a data-first growth marketing agency serving e-commerce brands. You will own the operational side of email marketing execution — keeping campaigns on schedule, assets correctly deployed, and flows working as intended across a portfolio of clients. This is an execution and operations role. You do not need to write copy or design assets — those come to you. Your job is to take what has been produced, deploy it correctly, QA it thoroughly, and ensure every campaign goes out on time and on spec.
