Email Marketing Specialist (Contract, Part-Time)

We're looking for a hands-on Email Marketing Specialist to work closely with a client’s team to plan, write, build, and automate their email program, covering everything from a single nurture sequence to a full lifecycle journey.

Position Summary

This contract role supports one client’s email marketing program as part of a Nimble Gravity engagement. The Email Marketing Specialist manages email campaign development and execution, combining strategic thinking with hands-on production. You’ll write copy, build campaigns, set up automations, report on results, and use those insights to improve the next send.

• Present campaign plans, timelines, and performance results to the client in a clear, confident way.

Email Campaign Development

• Write and edit email copy, including subject lines, body content, and calls to action, that’s on-brand and built to convert.
• Design B2B email sequencing and journey logic for a variety of email campaigns, from lead generation to nurture campaigns.
• Plan multi-touch campaigns that coordinate timing, messaging, and audience segments across a sequence.
• Ensure every campaign reflects the client’s brand voice, messaging, and standards.

Email Execution & Automation

• Build, test, QA, and launch email campaigns in Mailchimp, from single sends to multi-step automations.
• Set up and manage automation workflows and triggers.
• Build and maintain audience segments and list hygiene to keep targeting sharp and deliverability strong.
• Configure and manage the enrollment of leads into specific campaigns and journeys, coordinating with Salesforce data, lead status, and routing.
• Monitor sending best practices, compliance (CAN-SPAM, GDPR where applicable), and deliverability health.

Reporting & Optimization

• Track and report on opens, clicks, conversions, and campaign-level performance.
• Run A/B tests on subject lines, content, send times, and sequencing to continuously improve results.
• Turn performance data into clear takeaways and recommendations for the client.

Success in This Role

• Build a strong working relationship with the client’s team.
• Deliver polished, on-brand campaigns on time, with minimal rework.
