This is a hands-on, end-to-end role — you'll move fluidly between strategy and execution, owning everything from copy and build to deployment and reporting. You'll work closely with our in-house campaign and design teams, but you need to be able to operate independently and move fast. This is not a strategy-only or copy-only role. The right person is equally comfortable writing subject lines and building journeys in Salesforce Marketing Cloud. This is a temporary role anticipated to last approximately 6 months. Can be a temporary W2 employee or independent contractor if you have your own LLC. ## What You'll Do - Partner with the campaign team to understand program goals, audience segments, and send cadence for each title and activation - Brief the design team on email creative needs and ensure assets are delivered on-spec for SFMC builds - Write email copy — subject lines, preview text, headlines, and body — that's on-brand, conversion-focused, and tailored to audience and beat - Build and QA emails in Salesforce Marketing Cloud using existing branded templates - Build and manage journeys in SFMC, including segmentation logic, send rules, and suppression lists - Set up and QA UTM tracking and ensure data capture flows are functioning correctly pre-send - Deploy emails and monitor send health, deliverability, and engagement metrics post-send - Manage IP health and sender reputation, flagging any deliverability issues proactively - Pull and interpret performance reports, surface insights and recommendations to the campaign team Maintain organized, well-documented campaign records within SFMC ## What You Bring - 5+ years of experience in email marketing, CRM marketing, or lifecycle marketing, with at least 3 years of hands-on Salesforce Marketing Cloud experience. - Hands-on SFMC experience — you've built, QA'd, and deployed in the platform, not just managed vendors who do - Strong email copywriting chops with a track record of writing for gaming, entertainment, or fan-driven audiences (a plus) - Familiarity with HTML/CSS email rendering, mobile optimization, and dark mode QA - Understanding of CRM best practices — segmentation, suppression, A/B testing, deliverability, IP warming - Comfort working across multiple titles or campaigns simultaneously with shifting priorities - Clear, direct communicator who can work cross-functionally with creative and campaign teams without heavy oversight ## Nice to Have - Experience with landing page / email capture flow & tools - Background in games, entertainment, or IP-driven marketing - Familiarity with UTM architecture and analytics platforms (Adobe Analytics, GA) Engagement Details - Freelance / contract, W-9 or corp-to-corp - Hours variable week-to-week based on campaign volume; estimated X–X hours/week - Remote; must be available for regular syncs during PT business hours The hourly rate for this role is $36 - $53.
