About the Role
The CRM Marketing Manager owns the end-to-end execution and optimization of email, SMS, and push notification campaigns, driving operational excellence across Athleta's owned marketing channels. Partnering closely with the Senior Manager, this role is responsible for delivering high-quality, customer-centric campaigns while continuously identifying opportunities to improve performance, testing, processes, and execution standards.
This role is ideal for someone who brings energy, initiative, and a strong bias toward action; someone who naturally takes ownership, operates with urgency, and looks for ways to improve the work rather than simply executing. The ideal candidate manages multiple priorities with precision and proactively brings forward ideas, insights, and recommendations that elevate the customer experience and push channels toward best-in-class performance.

The Gap Inc
Doris and Don Fisher opened the first Gap store in 1969 with a simple idea -- to make it easier to find a pair of jeans and a commitment to do more. Over the last 46 years, the company has grown from a single store to a global fashion business with five brands -- Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, Athleta and Intermix. Gap's clothes are available in 90 countries worldwide through 3,300 company-operated stores, almost 400 franchise stores, and e-commerce sites and is still growing.
Many companies work to improve their services and businesses every day by using GAP Testers who anonymously go into various places and report back to the companies on everything from cleanliness, customer service to quality control. Being a tester is a very flexible, fun job with lots of benefits.
