The Citizenry partners with artisans around the world to create home goods that blend our modern style with their time-tested craftsmanship. We sell our exclusive collections online & in our New York Flagship store, delivering new standards of quality, transparency, and social responsibility for retail.

That’s where you come in. We are currently seeking an Email & Customer Data Platform Manager to lead a data-driven, growth-oriented email and SMS program. This cross-functional role will work closely with Brand Marketing and Creative teams to produce best-in-class promotional, lifecycle and transactional messaging. You must be a high-level strategic thinker and day-to-day executer, equally able to craft a program roadmap and handle campaign deployment.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter that understands the power of email to build lasting customer relationships and is always in-the-know on the latest industry trends. An email guru through-and-through, you have extensive, hands-on experience with one or more ESP, and you’re up to the challenge of running a platform transition, building new lifecycle programs and segments, and coding campaigns.

In this role, you will transform data into insights that drive optimization and segmentation, utilizing a Customer Data Platform to identify key opportunities. You’ll manage our growing SMS program, establishing a balanced cadence across channels to maximize performance. The right candidate is eager to play a critical role in a growing business, driving engagement and incremental revenue through thoughtful data activation.

The Job

• Own the email-service provider relationship, from managing platform transition (as needed) to campaign execution, including segmentation, coding and deployment across all campaign types

• Develop an ongoing testing strategy that allows for iterative improvement
• Partner with brand marketing and creative teams to execute promotional email messages, providing insights that optimize segmentation, content and cadence
• Manage SMS program, from strategy to execution, owning list growth, compliance and campaign deployment
• Own our Customer Data Platform, from managing the integration process and data mapping to utilizing the platform to fuel deep and meaningful segmentation to unlock incremental opportunity across the business
• Roll up your sleeves and fill in gaps when needed (after all, we are a startup)

Qualifications

• 5+ years of email marketing experience for e-commerce brand or digital agency; startup experience a plus.
• Strong technical knowledge of email service providers (Klaviyo, Bronto, Cordial or similar) - from platform implementation to day-to-day experience with campaign execution
• Demonstrated history of growing email engagement and revenue through list growth, continuous testing, personalization and segmentation.
• Strong analytical chops, with a proven ability to craft clear and concise strategic recommendations from complex data sets
• Experience with Customer Data Platform software (Amperity, BlueVenn, Segment or similar)
• A working understanding of statistical concepts critical for A/B testing and optimization
• Working knowledge of regulatory environment as it relates to email and SMS marketing (GDPR, CCPA, CASL)
