What do you need to succeed in this role?
You must have a Bachelor’s degree with a focus in marketing, IT or another analytical discipline, as well as 1 -3 years’ experience in a direct marketing role, including the creation and deployment of digital marketing campaigns using an automated marketing platform; we strongly prefer Marketo certification. You also need high level MS Excel skills, including strong experience using pivot tables, lookup and other analytical formulas to analyze large datasets (you will be tested). We also seek expert-level HTML skills; it is crucial that the successful candidate is able to take design ideas from across the organization and create HTML assets from those designs.
You should also have a customer-centric mindset, and the ability to strategically position products and promotions. Strong written and verbal communication skills, reliability, attention to detail and the ability to work quickly are essential. You will enjoy the opportunity to present your results to senior leadership on a regular basis.
