Email Marketing Specialist
Email campaigns, drip sequences, segmentation, and A/B testing.
A digital email-marketing specialist who designs and runs your email channel — campaigns, drip sequences, segmentation, A/B tests, deliverability — within CAN-SPAM and GDPR guardrails.
What they do day-to-day
- Designs and sends email campaigns.
- Builds and manages drip and nurture sequences.
- Segments your email list by behavior, lifecycle, or custom criteria.
- Creates email templates (text and layout).
- A/B tests subject lines, send times, and content.
- Tracks email metrics — open rate, click rate, unsubscribe rate.

- Sets up automated triggers — welcome, abandoned cart, re-engagement.
- Generates campaign performance reports.
- Manages your sender reputation.

Sample interactions
Campaign-launch summary with A/B test setup
Agent → Owner direct message: «Spring promo campaign queued. List of 14,200 segmented into 3 cohorts (high-intent, dormant, never-purchased). Subject-line A/B test on cohort A: 'Save 25% this week' vs. 'Your spring picks are here.' Send window: Tuesday 10am ET. Approve to launch?»
Deliverability red flag
Agent → Owner direct message: «Heads up — open rate on yesterday's send dropped to 9.2% (your baseline is 22%). Looks like a deliverability issue, not a creative one. Two domains showing up as bouncing. Want me to pause the next send while I clean the list and re-warm, or push through?»
