About The Position

A global technology company is seeking a Production & Tools Manager to lead the end-to-end production operation for its outbound communications team. This team builds and launches high volumes of email, push, SMS, and in-app campaigns reaching millions of users worldwide, including compliance-driven and regulatory communications that demand precision, speed, and care. You will own the production queue from intake through launch, manage the daily workload of a small team of production developers, and act as the liaison between campaign stakeholders and the production team. The role is roughly 50% process and people leadership and 50% hands-on campaign production. You will also serve as the team's tool owner and subject matter expert, maintaining templates, system configurations, and best practices in the marketing automation platform. This is a fast-paced environment with short notice requests and competing priorities. The right person thrives on keeping work flowing, solving problems creatively, and knowing when to flex a process without ever skipping a quality check.

Requirements

8+ years of experience in marketing operations, campaign production, or digital communications, including experience leading campaigns or production workflows in a high-volume, short-timeline environment
Hands-on experience with enterprise marketing automation platforms such as Eloqua, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, or Braze (experience with only entry-level tools like Mailchimp will not qualify)
Working knowledge of SQL: able to read queries, understand joins and logic, edit templates, and catch errors (building from scratch is not required)
Solid understanding of GDPR, CAN-SPAM, and opt-in/opt-out regulations as applied to campaign production
Experience building multi-channel, multi-step journeys and automations, not just single sends
Strong stakeholder management: able to intake requests, set expectations, and influence without direct authority
Comfort with urgency and ambiguity, with the judgment to flex processes when needed while never skipping quality checks
US based
