• Develop and implement strategies to grow and scale the contact database responsibly and effectively. 
• Manage and optimize lead nurturing workflows across the customer lifecycle. 
• Collaborate closely with design, content, operations, and sales to align campaigns with broader goals.

• Flexibly work across global time zones to support campaign launches and collaborations.

• Demonstrated ability to create compelling, clear first drafts of email content. 
• Experience with A/B testing, personalization, and campaign optimization. 
• Analytical mindset with the ability to translate data into action. 
• Highly collaborative, proactive communicator, comfortable working with global teams. 
• Strong sense of ownership, accountability, and attention to detail. 

What Success Looks Like
