Premier Credit Union • Johnston, IA

1d • Hybrid

About The Position

Premier is hiring a Marketing Automation Specialist to serve as the technical owner and analytical engine of our marketing team. You'll be our HubSpot subject-matter expert, owning the platform end-to-end: its architecture, data model, automation, integrations, and reporting.
On the technical side, you'll design and maintain the systems behind our marketing operations: multi-step workflows, lifecycle stage logic, lead scoring models, MQL routing to Sales, and a clean, well-structured CRM built on custom properties, custom objects, and association labels. You'll own our tracking and attribution infrastructure, from UTM governance and Google Tag Manager to the data flowing between HubSpot, GA4, ad platforms, and internal systems, and you'll be the person who diagnoses and fixes it when sync failures, dropped parameters, or list logic errors occur.
On the analytical side, you'll build the cross-object reports and dashboards that give leadership and teams across the credit union clear visibility into campaign performance, paid media ROI, and member engagement, and you'll turn that data into recommendations. If you enjoy deep platform work, performance marketing, and data-driven storytelling, this role offers real visibility into how Premier makes decisions at every level.
