• Conduct post-campaign analysis and translate results into clear, actionable recommendations.
• Document campaign learnings and apply insights to future communications.
• Identify opportunities to improve and automate existing reporting processes.

CRM Operations & Collaboration

• Support the day-to-day management of HubSpot, including email templates, workflows, lists and campaign execution.
• Maintain strong list hygiene and support email deliverability best practices.
• Ensure campaign execution and customer data handling align with applicable privacy and email marketing requirements.
• Partner closely with Lifecycle Marketing, Brand, Integrated Marketing, Sales, Product, Operations, TripArc and Analytics teams to deliver campaigns against shared business objectives.
• Communicate proactively with stakeholders, manage timelines and help keep projects moving in a fast-paced environment.

What You Bring

• 3-4+ years of hands-on experience in email marketing, CRM or lifecycle marketing.
• Experience personally building, QA’ing and deploying email campaigns within a CRM or email marketing platform.
• Hands-on experience with HubSpot is an asset; experience with platforms such as Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Adobe, Braze, Mailchimp or similar tools is also welcome.
