About The Position

Enova is seeking a passionate and innovative Email Marketing Manager to join their Small Business Team, supporting the OnDeck brand. This role focuses on building and growing the Lifecycle Marketing team to enhance customer engagement and retention. The position involves hands-on campaign execution in Salesforce Marketing Cloud, A/B testing, and collaboration with the MarTech team, with a direct link to business outcomes and revenue generation. The Email Marketing Manager will be responsible for driving units, volume, and efficiency through email and SMS programs across the full customer journey, managing a team, and fostering a testing culture. This is a hybrid role requiring in-office work Tuesday through Thursday, with remote flexibility on Mondays and Fridays.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Business, Finance, or a related field.

• Backgrounds in fintech, financial services, e-commerce, or subscription businesses are strongly preferred.
• Hands-on experience building and deploying campaigns in Salesforce Marketing Cloud or a comparable ESP (Braze, Klaviyo, Iterable). You don't need to be a developer, but you need to be comfortable in the platform.
• A disciplined approach to A/B testing: you know what you're testing, why it matters, and how to build on what you learn over time.
• Strong segmentation and data analysis skills, with the ability to use insights to continuously improve targeting, messaging, and program design.
• Strong communication and cross-functional skills, including the ability to write a solid creative brief, align stakeholders, and push back when something doesn't serve the customer or the business.
• Self-motivated and organized, with the ability to manage multiple campaigns and priorities and drive projects to completion.
• Comfortable leading teams through ambiguity: allowing you and your team to pivot seamlessly, embrace change, and uncover opportunities in a dynamic business environment.
