Why don’t marketers like trampolines?... They’re scared of high bounce rates!

If this made you painfully chuckle and *smh*, you’re perfect for this role. 

Updater’s Notifications Platform team is responsible for conveying how Updater helps users save time, money, and stress when going through the third most stressful life event – moving! We’re looking for a technical email/multi-channel marketer and platform expert to execute marketing communications with our users, supporting multiple product verticals. We leverage Iterable which is an ESP built on top of Sparkpost. Those with experience in other similar ESPs (Cordial, Salesforce, Braze, Marketo, etc) are encouraged to apply.

As a Senior Operations Manager, your mission is to turn campaign ideas and experimentation plans into action while working closely with other members of our Product and Data teams. You will own the daily email/multi-channel communications operations of our user-facing product organization to ensure that campaigns and workflows are completed and deployed on time. You’re responsible for applying email best practices and guiding our marketers, engineers, and product managers on how best to unlock the full value of our current tool of choice – Iterable. You’ll assess challenges and think critically to devise solutions. You will work closely with stakeholders across marketing, product, data, and engineering to manage and deliver marketing and transactional notification programs through email, web push, retargeting, and SMS. 

This role sits on our Product team, and our Notifications Platform team – a growth focused team dedicated to delivering an engaging user experience, executing against statistically significant experiment results, and constantly seeking to discover new means of value for all users. Our ideal candidate is a multi-channel expert with an emphasis on email, and technical campaign management as well as orchestration building experience. The ideal candidate will also have knowledge of transactional/marketing email best practices, self-motivation, and a strong sense of personal accountability.

About You
