A Collaborative Team
Ecommerce Email Marketing & Retention Specialist
Remote | Independent Contractor | Part-Time with Opportunity to Grow
We're looking for someone who understands that email marketing is a revenue channel, not just a content calendar.
At Everlign Social, we partner with ambitious ecommerce brands to build smarter, more sustainable growth strategies. We're looking for an experienced Ecommerce Email Marketing & Retention Specialist who can independently own email strategy and execution across multiple client accounts.
Successful email marketing goes beyond attractive designs and clever subject lines. It's about understanding customer behaviour, creating relevant experiences, and driving measurable revenue and retention results.
About the Role
You’ll manage email marketing and retention initiatives for a portfolio of ecommerce clients, from campaign strategy and lifecycle automation to copywriting, design, deployment, and performance analysis.
This is a hands-on role. You should be as comfortable building advanced Klaviyo flows and segments as you are developing campaign concepts, writing persuasive copy, and interpreting results.
You’ll collaborate with our leadership and creative teams while taking ownership of your accounts.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
Email Strategy & Campaign Management
- Develop email strategies aligned with client goals, customer journeys, and revenue targets.
- Plan campaign calendars for launches, promotions, seasonal opportunities, and retention.
- Create compelling campaign concepts, messaging angles, and offers.
- Identify opportunities to improve repeat purchases, customer lifetime value, and email performance.
Lifecycle Marketing & Automation
- Build, manage, and optimize welcome, abandoned checkout, browse abandonment, post-purchase, replenishment, cross-sell, win-back, VIP, and re-engagement flows.
- Implement behavioural triggers, conditional logic, personalization, and dynamic content.
- Audit existing automations and proactively recommend improvements.
Segmentation & Deliverability
- Build customer segments using purchase behaviour, engagement, lifecycle stage, and customer value.
- Monitor deliverability, list health, bounce rates, spam complaints, and engagement.
- Manage list hygiene, suppression, sunset strategies, signup forms, and pop-ups.
- Follow applicable email marketing requirements, including CASL and CAN-SPAM.
Copywriting & Design
- Write conversion-focused subject lines, preview text, headlines, body copy, and calls to action.
- Adapt brand voice and combine storytelling with direct-response principles.
- Design and build polished, mobile-responsive emails with strong visual hierarchy.
- Collaborate with creative teammates when needed and ensure quality assurance before deployment.
Analytics & Optimization
- Analyze attributed revenue, revenue per recipient, click rates, placed-order rates, and retention metrics.
- Run structured A/B tests on messaging, creative, offers, timing, and segmentation.
- Translate data into actionable recommendations and clear client reporting.
- Consider broader ecommerce results, not just platform attribution.
Klaviyo & Technical Execution
- Manage Klaviyo campaigns, flows, segments, templates, forms, and integrations.
- Work with ecommerce events, customer properties, and Shopify integrations.
- Troubleshoot tracking, automation, rendering, and deliverability issues.
- Maintain strong quality assurance and stay current with platform updates.
What We're Looking For
Required Experience & Skills
- 3+ years of hands-on email marketing experience, ideally in ecommerce, DTC, or an agency.
- Advanced Klaviyo proficiency across campaigns, automation, segmentation, and reporting.
- Proven experience connecting email strategy to measurable business results.
- Strong conversion copywriting and mobile-responsive email design skills.
- Experience owning campaigns and automated journeys from strategy through deployment.
- Solid understanding of retention, customer lifetime value, deliverability, and Shopify.
- Analytical thinking, excellent organization, attention to detail, and reliable quality assurance.
- Ability to independently manage multiple clients, priorities, and deadlines.
- Clear communication and a proactive, solutions-oriented approach.
Please note: This is an experienced, hands-on position. We're looking for someone ready to own the work independently, rather than someone seeking training in email marketing fundamentals.
Nice to Have
- Klaviyo certifications
- SMS marketing and integrated retention programs
- Shopify Plus or WooCommerce
- Figma, Canva, and email design systems
- Basic HTML/CSS
- Loyalty, subscription, and referral programs
- Cohort analysis, RFM segmentation, and predictive analytics
- Multi-client agency experience
