Help identify ideas and opportunities across all stages of the customer lifecycle to drive adoption, activation, retention, and referrals.
• Experiment: Drive copy, cadence, and CTA tests to optimize emails and improve performance. Partner with our brand and growth teams to experiment with templates, segment target audiences, and explore which use cases resonate.
• Report: Track, document, and share out learnings with stakeholders and the broader marketing org. Communicate insights and next steps with cross-functional stakeholders as needed.
• Plan: Field and prioritize new inbound email requests across all Figma teams. Scope out weekly and monthly sprints, and develop a process for keeping the broader team up to date on all things email.

• A deep understanding of email marketing best practices, including audience segmentation, accessibility, send frequency, and email laws and policies
• Experience working with dispersed marketing teams in different regions and understanding the impact and implications of recommendations to different roles (email localization a huge plus)

• Excellent collaboration skills and a deep understanding of the importance of building strong working relationships
