We work hard, we play hard and, most importantly, we care to our core about our teams and each other. We over-communicate around everything...especially while we navigate our new hybrid world.

Summary

We're looking for a Salesforce Marketing Cloud expert to lead our marketing automation team and serve as our go-to technical authority on the platform. You’ll spend your days deep in email campaigns, data extensions, Automation Studio, and Journey Builder, while also managing and developing a team of front-end developers and email specialists. You're the kind of person who's comfortable troubleshooting a complex journey configuration one hour and coaching a team member the next. Beyond the day-to-day platform work, you'll help us stay ahead of where AI and automation can make our workflows smarter, and you'll bring the process discipline that keeps our campaigns accurate, on-brand, and running smoothly across every client and business unit we support.

What you'll spend your days on:

Salesforce Marketing Cloud Excellence

• Serving as the primary technical expert for Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Pardot, and related Salesforce ecosystem tools
• Owning data extension structure, management, and best practices across all campaigns and business units
• Managing list imports, data hygiene, and variable field mapping to keep data clean and accurate across sources
• Configuring and optimizing Automation Studio builds, and designing, deploying, and troubleshooting Journey Builder flows and advanced segmentation strategies
• Overseeing data extracts and delivery schedules, along with dynamic sender profile setup across brands and business units
• Managing integrations between Salesforce platforms and other marketing technologies
• Leading platform upgrades, new feature adoption, and system optimization initiatives
• New client onboarding and configuration
• Owning platform contracting and billing

Email Campaign Management

• Establishing and maintaining best practices and accessibility for email campaigns
• Building and editing HTML templates, including AMPscript/SSJS for dynamic content
• Running multi-tenant QA and Litmus testing to catch issues before deployment, and coordinating global send scheduling across time zones and languages
• Overseeing deliverability optimization, list hygiene, and compliance with CAN-SPAM, GDPR, and other regulations
• Managing advanced personalization strategies and dynamic content implementation
• Analyzing performance metrics and implementing data-driven optimization strategies
• Ensuring a consistent brand experience across all automated touchpoints

Leading and Developing the Team

• Managing, mentoring, and growing a team of front-end developers and email coders
• Conducting regular one-on-ones, performance reviews, and career development planning sessions
• Identifying skill gaps and building training programs to strengthen coding ability and technical proficiency, including cross-training the team on SFMC configuration and process documentation
• Creating learning pathways for team members to grow their expertise in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, marketing automation platforms, and AI-assisted workflows
• Fostering a culture of continuous improvement and technical excellence

Quality Assurance and Process Excellence

• Developing and maintaining comprehensive QA processes for all marketing automation activities
• Creating detailed testing protocols for email campaigns, subscriber data, and automation workflows
• Implementing systematic review processes to ensure accuracy and consistency across all deliverables
• Managing campaign deployment schedules and coordinating cross-functional testing procedures
• Spotting process gaps and modernizing how the team works
• Maintaining meticulous documentation and organizational standards for all automation assets

Driving AI Innovation and Efficiency

• Staying current with AI-driven marketing automation tools and recent SFMC innovations, and identifying opportunities for implementation
• Leading initiatives to integrate AI into email personalization, audience segmentation, and campaign optimization
• Actively testing new AI features and tools as they emerge, rather than waiting for them to be proven elsewhere first
• Researching emerging technologies that can improve team productivity and campaign performance
• Developing strategies to leverage machine learning and predictive analytics within marketing automation workflows
• Evangelizing AI best practices and responsible AI implementation across marketing initiatives
• Bringing that same curiosity to the team, encouraging experimentation and sharing what you learn along the way

What you need to be successful in this role:

Technical Expertise

• 7+ years of experience in marketing automation with 3+ years in a management role
• Deep, hands-on expert-level proficiency in Salesforce Marketing Cloud, gained across multiple client or business-unit environments, not a generalist email background — you've lived inside data extensions, Automation Studio, and Journey Builder, and you're just as comfortable in the weeds of a configuration as you are talking strategy
• Strong working knowledge of Pardot and Salesforce CRM
• Advanced knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and AMPscript/SSJS
• Strong understanding of email deliverability, authentication protocols (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), and inbox placement optimization
• Experience with SMS marketing platforms and mobile messaging best practices

Leadership and Development

• Proven track record of successfully managing and developing technical teams
• Experience building training programs and upskilling team members in coding and automation platforms
• Strong coaching and mentoring abilities with a focus on technical skill development
• Ability to translate complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders

Process and Quality Focus

• Exceptional attention to detail with a systematic approach to quality assurance
• Experience developing and implementing comprehensive testing methodologies
• Strong organizational skills with ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously

• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills with marketing, IT, and sales teams
• Project management experience with ability to coordinate complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives

Preferred Qualifications

• Salesforce Marketing Cloud certifications (Email Specialist, Consultant, Developer)
