Marketing Data Ops Specialist

Canals is a bootstrapped, profitable startup transforming wholesale distribution (a trillion-dollar industry) with AI. Our platform integrates seamlessly with the systems distributors already use, automating tedious tasks and reducing failure points in moving physical goods across the globe.

We’re a 55-person, fully remote team (40 in engineering) across North and South America, operating at millions in ARR and growing rapidly — without outside funding.

The Marketing Data Ops Specialist will play a key role in the efficient operation of the entire marketing team, from events to email campaigns, product launches, and strategic decisions. As our marketing team and activities grow, we’re looking for someone to take ownership of the data we need to run targeted programs and track their effectiveness, ensuring it is clean, complete, and up-to-date. In addition, this role will support reporting and analysis for the broader go-to-market team, including Sales and Customer Success.

The ideal candidate combines technical execution with strategic thinking to plan for measurement and analysis needs. If you love drilling into the data, ensuring the CRM stays clean, and optimizing processes, this could be the role for you.

• Research, vet, and manage data sources and tools to support programmatic campaign ideas and improve efficiency

• Provide analysis to inform strategic projects, such as TAM identification and segmentation, sales territory creation, and pipeline modeling

• Maintain CRM data hygiene, workflow automations, and reporting dashboards for marketing and sales

Qualifications
