Job description

Email Marketing Specialist

Hey, you! Wanna become #OneOfUs?

We are on the lookout for a sharp, AI-powered lifecycle marketer to join our HKR team as a Email Marketing Specialist, working for a US-based client in scaling email revenue through Klaviyo + Shopify automations.

Btw, HKR was remote before it was even cool! Remote is allowed, encouraged, and the norm. Now, and forever. There's only one catch, and it comes from this guy: Whatever you are, be a good one - Abraham Lincoln.

To apply, please fill out our external form. (You will be redirected to it automatically, once you click "Apply").

What you'll be doing?

• Manage and scale $1M+ of weekly email traffic via Klaviyo automations and campaigns, driving revenue for a fast-moving eCom business.
• Use LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, Klaviyo AI, and Shopify's native tools to build, test, and QA emails and flows at speed.
• Spot and squash costly mistakes (broken links, merge-tag fails, off-brand copy) before they ship.
• Build and optimize multi-step flows, run A/B tests on campaigns over 50k sends, and report on performance clearly.
• Collaborate with a high-performance founder on strategy, while taking full ownership over execution.
• Stay proactive with segmentation, timing, and deliverability improvements and bring fresh, creative ideas to keep iterating.

About you

• You've got 24 years of lifecycle marketing experience, especially with Klaviyo + Shopify.
• You're fast, precise, and lean on AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) for everything from writing to QA to decision support.
• You've got a sharp eye for errors and logic; proof of past catches is a big plus.
• You've tested and optimized large email sends, and know your way around Shopify's backend and product feeds.
• You move quickly, reply promptly, and don't wait for permission to improve things.
• You've influenced at least one KPI directly (e.g., increased flow-driven revenue or improved CTOR).

Perks

• Fair market pay
• Remote, full-time job – work as an independent contractor from the comfort of your own home!
• Mon‑Fri, 9 AM – 6 PM EST schedule (with 1 hour of lunch break)
• Start‑up culture, young team, no egos, no BS
