About The Position

Clearlink is building a centralized Lifecycle Marketing function to power scalable, compliant, performance-driven email programs across its portfolio of brands. This role is responsible for owning the platforms, data, and programs that support these email initiatives. The position sits at the intersection of product, marketing technology, and analytics, with hands-on ownership of the lifecycle messaging platform (Iterable) and the onsite data capture and identity layer (Digioh).
