Job description

Join Plymouth Rock Assurance as a Marketing Cloud & Automation Specialist, a hands‑on role supporting our Home (homeowners insurance) Marketing team across all three of its channels: Independent Agent, Partner, and Direct (Direct-to-Consumer), with communications that reach independent agents, partner organizations, and consumers. Based in our Boston office and reporting to the Marketing Operations & Automation Supervisor, this position focuses on building, testing, and maintaining email campaigns and automated journeys in Salesforce Marketing Cloud; supporting audience segmentation and performance measurement; and using AI tools to design and build automated processes that improve quality and efficiency across the team.

Responsibilities

Email Template Development

• Build and maintain responsive email templates using HTML, CSS, and AMPscript within Salesforce Marketing Cloud, using Litmus for quality assurance (QA) and rendering checks.
• Help ensure templates meet quality standards for rendering, accessibility, and load performance across devices, email clients, and mailbox providers (e.g., Gmail, Outlook).
• Partner with creative and marketing teams to apply dynamic content, personalization rules, and brand standards to templates.
• Contribute to a modular template library (components, content modules, and versioning) that speeds up production and reduces rework.

Campaign & Journey Builds

• Build, QA, and deploy automated and triggered campaigns and journeys for the Independent Agent, Partner, and Direct channels, from requirements intake through launch and monitoring.
• Build and maintain dynamic content blocks to support segmentation and personalized messaging, including rules and fallback logic.
• Write SQL queries and work with data extensions and data relationships to build campaign audiences.
• For the Direct channel, focus on campaign builds, including audience setup, personalization, and QA, in partnership with the channel’s campaign owners.
• Work with CRM, Analytics, and channel marketing teams to make sure tracking requirements, data capture, and measurement are set up correctly.
• Manage multiple concurrent builds across the three channels, and communicate timelines, dependencies, and tradeoffs clearly to stakeholders.

AI & Process Automation

• Use AI tools (such as Claude) to design and build automated quality control (QC) processes, checklists, and validation steps that catch errors before campaigns launch.
• Identify manual, repetitive steps in campaign production and data workflows, and help build automated solutions to reduce them.
• Test, document, and maintain automated processes so they are reliable and easy for the team to use.
• Handle customer and agent data responsibly, and build AI‑assisted processes within company IT security and data privacy guidelines.
• Participate in evaluating new AI and automation capabilities and share practical ideas for applying them in marketing operations.

Testing & Optimization

• Set up and execute A/B tests across templates, subject lines, creative assets, offers, and CTAs.
• Participate in analyzing test results and help translate findings into recommendations.
• Support the use of AI‑driven features (e.g., Einstein) for send‑time optimization and targeting.

Compliance, Deliverability & Performance

• Follow digital communication standards (CAN‑SPAM, TCPA) and internal governance in all builds.
• Participate in performance monitoring for assigned programs and journeys, including deliverability, engagement, and conversion health checks.
• Track campaign KPIs through dashboards and reports, and flag underperformance or issues early.

Documentation & Collaboration

• Create and maintain documentation of processes, templates, and best practices, including QA checklists, naming conventions, and build workflows.
• Help team members with template usage and Marketing Cloud questions.
• Provide input on feasibility and effort for new campaign and automation requests.

What Success Looks Like

• Within 60 days: independently building, testing, and deploying emails and journeys in Salesforce Marketing Cloud using team standards and QA checklists.
• Within 90 days: delivering your first automated QC or workflow process that reduces manual effort or catches errors before launch.
• Within 6 months: serving as a dependable builder across the Independent Agent, Partner, and Direct channels, and contributing improvements to templates, documentation, and automation.
