Email Marketing Specialist, Demand Generation

It's fun to work in a company where people truly BELIEVE in what they're doing!

We're committed to bringing passion and customer focus to the business.

The ideal person for this role is passionate about email marketing. You pay exceptional attention to detail, can spot a typo from across a crowded room, and love subject line A/B testing, optimal segmentation, CTRs and email conversions. You have a creative bent and like to play with templates, and are curious about new trends and tactics in the email arena (e.g., are emojis fun, impactful or passé?) You can point out examples of smart, clever emails you’ve received and appreciate, while getting annoyed at others who use clickbait-type subject lines to lead you down the road you don’t care to be taken on (hey, they give YOU a bad name!) You watch unsubscribes enthusiastically, and see a high metric as an indicator of something meaningful.

In this role, you will:

• Be the primary go-to for all things email marketing to prospects, including:

  • Nurture sequences/tracks (HubSpot)

  • One-off emails such as product, service and event promotion (HubSpot)

  • Resource for Sales to help build effective Sales cadences (SalesLoft)

  • Eventually becoming a trusted advisor to other parts of the organization for email strategy

• Assist with logistics for WP Engine’s successful webinar program to optimize registrations, attendance and on-demand viewership
