Job summary

Current is seeking a Freelance Marketo Email Specialist to build, test, and launch email programs in Marketo for multiple client brands. This is an execution-only contract role with no leadership, focusing on approved briefs, responsive templates, smart lists, and error-free sends.

You will work remotely across the US, collaborating with our internal team to deliver accurate builds on schedule with minimal oversight. The target hourly rate is $50–$70, reflecting experience and location.

Qualifications

• At least 3 years of hands-on Marketo Engage experience.
• Strong working knowledge of Marketo programs, smart lists, smart campaigns, tokens, snippets, and dynamic content.
• Proficiency in HTML and CSS for email, including responsive and hybrid coding and Marketo template syntax.
• Experience with email rendering and QA tools such as Litmus or Email on Acid.
• A detail-oriented QA process that catches errors in logic, links, and personalization before launch.
• Experience working across multiple clients or Marketo instances, adapting quickly to different setups and conventions.
• Clear, proactive communication, including flagging risks early and giving accurate time estimates.
• Ability to work independently, take direction well, and hit deadlines across overlapping requests.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain responsive email templates and modular components in HTML and CSS, using Marketo's template syntax, variables, and editable sections.
• Set up smart lists, smart campaigns, flow steps, and segmentations that match the targeting and logic in the brief.
• Use tokens, dynamic content, and snippets to personalize emails and keep programs easy to clone and reuse.
• QA every email before launch: rendering across clients and devices, links, tokens, personalization fallbacks, and list logic.
• Manage program structure, naming conventions, and folder organization so client instances stay clean and easy to navigate.
• Build to the brief and requirements provided, and flag any gaps or errors in the request before they become problems in the send.
• Communicate status, timelines, and blockers clearly with your internal point of contact.
• Document builds and processes so other team members can pick up, update, or reuse the work.
• Follow established Marketo, deliverability, and accessibility standards on every build.
