• Partner with lifecycle marketers to translate approved strategies and defined business requirements into accurate, executable program builds across the prospect and customer lifecycle.
• Perform end-to-end quality assurance before launch, validating audience criteria, links, personalization, tracking, suppression logic, campaign flow, and expected system behavior.
• Monitor active lifecycle programs, identify operational or data issues, resolve common problems, and escalate complex platform or integration concerns to the appropriate partners.
• Maintain lifecycle data quality through list management, segmentation, database monitoring, and the execution of established suppression, consent, and compliance requirements.
• Monitor email and SMS deliverability and related program-health indicators, identify trends or potential risks, and partner with Marketing Operations to investigate and resolve red flags or implement system-level changes.
• Coordinate project dependencies and communicate progress, risks, blockers, and timeline changes accurately and proactively to stakeholders.
• Maintain process documentation and identify opportunities to improve execution accuracy, turnaround time, scalability, and team capacity.

What You Need to Get the Job Done

• 1–3 years of experience in marketing operations, lifecycle marketing, email marketing, campaign operations, or a related area.
• Experience building, testing, launching, or supporting campaigns in a marketing automation platform.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to complete thorough quality assurance across audiences, links, personalization, tracking, workflows, and campaign logic.
• Working knowledge of audience segmentation, list management, suppression practices, and marketing data quality.
• Ability to monitor active programs, troubleshoot common operational issues, and escalate complex system or integration concerns appropriately.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong organizational and prioritization skills with the ability to manage multiple requests and meet deadlines.
• Analytical and problem-solving skills with an interest in using data to improve execution and processes.
• Proficiency with spreadsheets and common business productivity tools.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with lifecycle marketers, Marketing Operations, Analytics, Events Technology, Customer Experience, and other cross-functional partners.
