Requirements

Experience managing high-volume email production: multiple properties, multiple sends per week, across a mix of automated and manual workflows.
Demonstrated QA discipline: ability to follow a multi-step checklist under time pressure without skipping steps.
Ability to read campaign analytics and identify patterns: open rates, click-through rates, engagement data.
Strong process discipline: documented workflows must be followed exactly; the ability to execute consistently without reinventing the approach is essential.
Clear communication: proactive about flagging blockers, escalating issues, and reporting progress, even when work is incomplete.
Ability to research answers independently using available tools before escalating. Comfort using AI tools and platform-native resources to get unstuck is expected.
Proficiency in Claude, Google Suite, and Asana.
