Join to apply for the Marketing Operations Specialist role at Relay

Our mission is to increase the success rate of small businesses. Traditional banking has been a growth limiter rather than a growth enabler for business owners, and we’re changing that. Relay is the all-in-one, collaborative money management platform. We’re building for employer SMBs and their finance function, internal and external, and are focused on delivering a human-centric customer experience. Ultimately, we help SMBs be ‘on the money'.

As our first Marketing Operations Specialist, you’ll play a key role in building and scaling our Revenue Operations function. You’ll develop our marketing operations strategy and own the implementation of our tool stack, laying the foundation for scalable and efficient processes. This role is critical for ensuring accurate performance tracking, seamless integration of marketing technologies, and maintaining data integrity. You’ll collaborate closely with Marketing, Sales, and Data to enhance tracking, reporting, and overall marketing effectiveness.

Joining Relay means an opportunity to make a huge impact building solutions with the potential to reach 29 million small businesses across North America. If you thrive in a scrappy environment, excel at managing complex projects, and are eager to drive our growth, then Relay is the place for you.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Evaluate, implement, and manage marketing technology tools and systems (e.g. CRM, marketing automation, analytics platforms), while owning the overall marketing technology roadmap to support campaigns and initiatives
• Own, manage, and troubleshoot marketing tools and integrations with Salesforce and Marketo, ensuring seamless data flow between platforms to maintain operational efficiency and accurate reporting
• Develop and maintain scalable processes that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of marketing campaigns, lead generation, and lead routing efforts
• Build, track, and optimize marketing automation workflows, including lead scoring, lead nurturing, attribution mapping and segmentation to drive better conversion rates
• Monitor and enhance automation processes to incorporate emerging technologies and best industry practices
• Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure data accuracy, reporting, and analytics alignment, while managing top-of-funnel data and delivering insights that support strategic decision-making
• Oversee and maintain the marketing database, ensuring data integrity, conducting regular audits, and adhering to data privacy regulations
• Develop and execute marketing performance dashboards, providing real-time visibility into key metrics and campaign performance
• Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues, serving as the primary contact for all marketing automation and technology-related questions
  
  

Who You Are

• You have 3+ years of marketing operations experience
• You are proficient with marketing automation platforms such as Hubspot, Pardot and/or Marketo (or similar CRMs)
• You are a proactive problem-solver who tackles challenges with creativity and resourcefulness
• You excel in fast-paced environments, adapting seamlessly to evolving priorities while managing multiple projects with strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• You leverage your strong analytical skills and experience with marketing metrics to drive data-informed decision-making and achieve impactful outcomes

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity: Relay employees are Relay owners, complete with equity and a competitive salary.

• Flexible vacation and time off: every team member starts with 15 vacation days and 5 flex days to use as needed, plus an extra week of office closure during the end-of-year holidays so you can take time off to recharge and come back better for our customers.

• Hybrid work environment: we value meaningful collaboration and connection at our Toronto office twice a week, with lunch, snacks, and beverages on us.
• Dog-friendly space: can dogs really make you happy and healthy? We don’t know for sure, but since we don’t want to chance it, our office is 100% floof-friendly.
• Personal and professional growth: through ongoing feedback, mentorship, and coaching, work with peers and leaders who are invested in your growth and success.
• Top-tier equipment: as a Mac-first company, our Toronto offices have everything you need to produce your best work comfortably, from multiple screens to ergonomic seating.
