ConnectOne is a growth organization by design; it is part of our DNA and we take pride in seeing our employees grow with us. Founded in 2005 by an entrepreneur, we have grown into a high-performing commercial bank, inspiring a new model for our industry’s future. By embracing technology and all the ways it can help us become a world-class service organization, we support small business owners by fueling their mission.

People First is the blueprint for our culture. It is at the foundation of everything we do and the decisions we make. At ConnectOne, you have the opportunity to be a part of a dynamic culture and team. Develop your forward-thinking skills, thrive in an entrepreneurial setting, and succeed at “a better place to be”.

ConnectOne Bank is an Equal Housing and Equal Opportunity Lender, and a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

About this role:

Become an integral member of the Marketing Operations team at ConnectOne Bank! This hands‑on, tactical position is critical to scaling our efforts by owning digital campaign execution and the continuous evolution of our MarTech stack, leveraging automation and emerging technologies like AI. You will enable the team to move faster, execute better, and deliver high‑quality campaigns that drive customer engagement and revenue across all of ConnectOne’s brands.

This role is ideal for someone deeply interested in performance marketing and who can strategically build, own, and continuously optimize a MarTech stack using technical skills, AI, and automation to drive high‑quality campaign execution and conversion.

• Campaign Management: Develop, execute, and continuously improve high‑performing marketing automation campaigns and workflows across platforms.

• Complex Customer Journey Mapping: Utilize HubSpot's Customer Journey Analytics to track single contacts across multiple deals. Build advanced journey maps featuring optional steps and branching paths to identify exactly where high‑intent leads are dropping off and optimize the funnel accordingly.
• Dynamic & AI-Driven Personalization: Leverage Programmable Mail (HubL), Smart Content, and HubSpot's Breeze AI to develop highly tailored communications. This includes using the AI Data Agent within workflows to summarize a contact’s recent activity and dynamically inject it into internal sales notifications or hyper‑personalized automated check‑in emails.
• Data-Driven Iteration & A/B Testing: Conduct AI-powered Adaptive Testing for landing pages and sequence performance analytics. Build and maintain custom Engagement Scores using calculation properties (e.g., +5 points for a conversation, 10 for 30 days of inactivity) to trigger strategic workflows based on real‑time score changes.

Must haves:

• 3+ years of marketer level experience with Hubspot, specifically proficient with the Customer Journey Analytics tool, multi-touch attribution reports.
