• Define and maintain campaign standards—including deliverability, compliance, and design guidelines.
• Track and analyze campaign performance metrics (open rates, unsubscribes, etc) and provide timely reporting and insights to leadership.
• Identify opportunities by using internal data, external research, and competitor benchmarking to enhance campaign effectiveness and the client experience, and provide insights and feedback to drive continuous improvement.
• Review and refine campaign content through editing, proofreading, and occasional copywriting to ensure accuracy and message alignment.
• Provide coordinated direction to offshore partners and serve as a knowledgeable resource for junior team members (without formal leadership responsibilities) to contribute to overall team skill building and operational excellence.
• Serve as the go-to expert for complex lifecycle marketing challenges, troubleshooting issues with segmentation, deliverability, workflows, and advanced campaign logic.
• Build and maintain audiences in ServiceTitan and develop expertise in ServiceTitan Marketing Pro to support advanced campaign needs.

• Skills
