About the Role:

We’re looking for a strategic Senior Manager of Email Marketing to lead and evolve our global email marketing program. This individual will play a critical role in shaping how we engage, nurture, and convert audience across our Product-Led Growth (PLG) and Pipeline Generation (PG) motions through thoughtful and performance-driven email strategy.

As part of the Digital Marketing team, you’ll work cross-functionally with Global Campaigns, Marketing Operations, Growth Marketing, Product Marketing, Content, Events, and Customer Marketing to own the strategy, execution, and performance of a key digital channel that drives pipeline, sign-ups, and revenue. 

What You Will Do:

• Own the end-to-end global email marketing strategy, including campaign planning, channel health and performance, testing, segmentation, and lifecycle orchestration.
• Develop and scale automated email programs, including lifecycle nurtures, targeted engagement campaigns and onboarding flows to drive conversions and activations across the PLG and PG funnels. 
• Collaborate with Global Campaigns to translate GTM priorities into structured journeys, ensuring alignment with campaign themes, personas, and funnel stages.
• Partner closely with MOPs to ensure clean data, audience segmentation, and full-funnel tracking.
• Build and manage a global email calendar across PG, PLG, events, product announcements, and lifecycle campaigns.
• Lead the testing and optimization roadmap, including subject lines, content, send times, and audience segmentation.
• Analyze performance across CTR, CTOR, CVR, unsubscribe rate, email influence on pipeline, and revenue attribution.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders to develop email best practices and scalable frameworks that support multiple campaign types and audiences.
• Work with design and content teams to continuously improve the look, feel, and effectiveness of our email templates.

What You Will Bring:

• 7+ years of experience in email/lifecycle marketing, preferably in a B2B SaaS environment.
• Proven track record of owning email strategy and execution at scale, with measurable business impact.
• Deep understanding of segmentation, personalization, lifecycle strategy, and user journey mapping.
• Strong command of email KPIs and performance levers, with a test-and-learn mindset.
• Hands-on experience with a range of marketing automation platforms (e.g., Marketo), A/B testing tools, and sales engagement platforms such as Outreach or Salesloft. 
• Familiarity with performance tracking and reporting tools (e.g., Tableau, internal dashboards, or BI tools).
• Excellent project management, prioritization, and communication skills.
• Data fluency — comfortable pulling insights and translating them into optimization strategies.
• Experience with email deliverability best practices and compliance (CAN-SPAM, GDPR, etc.).
