• Develop lead nurturing workflows and always-on programs that reduce manual campaign work

• Run A/B testing on subject lines, content, and send timing to improve performance

Audience & Data

• Write SQL queries to support targeting, data transformations, and campaign logic

• Maintain data quality, subscriber health, and consent management

Platform Ownership

• Administer Salesforce Marketing Cloud including users, business units, and configuration

• Build and maintain Automation Studio workflows (imports, exports, scheduled jobs)

• Support integrations with Salesforce CRM and other enterprise systems

• Troubleshoot automation issues, data discrepancies, and platform errors

Optimization & Reporting

• Monitor journey and campaign performance to identify improvement opportunities

• Turn campaign results into clear recommendations for targeting, messaging, and timing

• Support reporting through Salesforce CRM, CRM Analytics, or Marketing Cloud Intelligence

• Continuously refine automation programs to improve performance and efficiency

Collaboration

Partner with marketing teams to translate campaign ideas into scalable automation solutions

• Work with sales and data teams to align campaigns with pipeline and lifecycle goals

• Document processes and create repeatable frameworks for campaign execution

• Train and support marketing users on SFMC best practices

Education & Experience

• Applicable Bachelor's Degree required

• 4+ years of experience required

• Salesforce Marketing Cloud or similar platforms

• Applicable Masters counts as one year of experience, not to exceed one year in total

• Strong hands-on experience with Journey Builder, Automation Studio, Contact Builder, and Email Studio

• Working knowledge of SQL for segmentation and data management

• Experience supporting Salesforce CRM integrations (Marketing Cloud Connect preferred)

• Understanding of lifecycle marketing, lead nurturing, and campaign automation

• Ability to troubleshoot technical issues and data problems quickly

Should the selected candidate meet the qualifications of a more experienced level in the career path, the job level may be adjusted.

Nice to Have

• Salesforce Marketing Cloud certifications (Email Specialist, Administrator, etc.)

• Experience with HTML, CSS, or AMPscript

• Experience in a B2B marketing environment

• Experience with analytics tools like CRM Analytics or Marketing Cloud Intelligence

What Success Looks Like

• Campaigns shift from manual execution to automated journeys

• Audience targeting is accurate, consistent, and scalable

• Marketing teams can launch campaigns faster with fewer errors

• Automation programs continuously improve through testing and optimization

• SFMC runs reliably and supports business growth

Other Position Specifications
