This job will give you ALL the feels:

At AlgaeCal, we’re driven by a single idea. To end the fear of bone loss. In the United States, an estimated 54 million people have low bone density. 

The good news? AlgaeCal has the world’s only clinically-backed natural solution to this problem. We give hope to everyone worried about bone loss. If that excites you, you’ll find no better place to continue your career than at AlgaeCal.

• Creating and managing campaigns that guide customers through every stage, focusing on keeping them loyal and encouraging more purchases.
• Improving how we personalize messages across email, SMS, and other channels, making sure communications feel relevant to each customer.
• Analyzing data to make sure the right message goes to the right audience at the right time.
• Researching new tools to make customer journeys smoother and the team more efficient.
• Overseeing email marketing and introducing new channels like SMS and push notifications.

• Proven direct response marketing skills—you’re great at crafting campaigns that spark immediate action and deliver results.
• Experience with reward and subscription programs, and you understand how loyalty communication flows and lead funnels work. (If you think a ‘funnel’ is a cake - this isn’t the job for you).
• A data-driven mindset with strong analytical skills—you’re able to measure program effectiveness and turn insights into action.
• A solid grasp of consumer marketing principles, customer segmentation, and multi-channel marketing strategies.
• Marie Kondo-level organizational knowhow—paired with sharp attention to detail, strong business acumen, problem-solving skills, and solid project management experience.
