Email/SMS Campaign Marketer (Remote) - 58317090697

Email and SMS Marketer

The Opportunity

We are a high-growth Fintech firm that has spent the past 5.5 years providing alternative financing to small businesses often overlooked by traditional banks. While our lead-generation engine via Meta and Google Ads is robust, we are seeking an Email and SMS Marketer to bridge the gap between “Lead In” and “Funded.”

Currently, engagement drops off significantly after the first 72 hours. This role is crucial in owning the entire lead lifecycle—ensuring we remain top of mind through strategic drip campaigns, sophisticated data segmentation, and high-frequency touchpoints that guide small business owners to the finish line.

The Role (Mission)

Your mission is to eliminate lead leakage and maximize the ROI of every lead. You will build, manage, and optimize automated communication journeys within Salesforce and Pardot (Marketing Cloud Account Engagement), nurturing small business owners from their initial inquiry through to their fifth funding round.

3. Campaign Execution & Operations

• Deployment: Build and deploy email/SMS campaigns using Salesforce Engagement Studios and automation rules.


• Salesforce/Pardot Maintenance: Ongoing configuration of CRM objects, fields, workflows, and templates (landing pages, forms, and form handlers).


• Technical QA: Conduct routine QA on merge fields, UTM tracking, link parameters, and formatting prior to launch.


• A/B Testing: Implement structured tests for subject lines, send times, and CTA placements based on audience segments.

4. Performance Tracking & Optimization

• Reporting & Dashboards: Maintain reports visualizing campaign effectiveness and pipeline influence, broken down by campaign type and device.

5. Compliance & Collaboration

• Regulatory Oversight: Ensure communications adhere to TCPA, CAN-SPAM, and carrier best practices for SMS.
