Email Marketing Specialist

Hey, you! Wanna become #OneOfUs?   We are on the lookout 🕵🏻 for a sharp, AI-powered lifecycle marketer to join our HKR team as a Email Marketing Specialist, working for a US-based client in scaling email revenue through Klaviyo + Shopify automations. 🇺🇸   Btw, HKR was remote before it was even cool! 😎 Remote is allowed, encouraged, and the norm. Now, and forever. There’s only one catch, and it comes from this guy: “Whatever you are, be a good one” - Abraham Lincoln.   To apply, please fill out our external form. 🤞🏼 (You will be redirected to it automatically, once you click "Apply").

What you'll be doing?

🔸 Own the full execution cycle for 5-7 awesome brands: draft killer creative briefs, direct designers, QA builds in Figma, and lock in client approvals.

🔸 Rule the send calendar in ClickUp, nailing segmentation, exclusions, and suppression logic so every campaign hits the mark.

🔸 Be the boss of automations: monitor flow and form performance against benchmarks, diagnose any underperforming setups (timing, audience, deliverability, triggers), and fix them like a pro.

🔸 Look ahead and build epic monthly campaign calendars 30 to 60+ days in advance to keep the strategy fresh and proactive.

🔸 Run weekly account health checks to keep everything smooth and flag any risks before they even become a thing.

🔸 Chat it up with clients, owning day-to-day communications and presenting your builds with clear, logical reasoning that moves approvals fast.

About you

📧 You bring 2 to 4 years of hands-on lifecycle marketing experience (an agency background is a huge plus!).

📧 You have deep, daily fluency in Klaviyo, Shopify, and ClickUp – this is your bread and butter, not just a bonus.

📧 You've got a proven track record of managing 5 to 7 brands concurrently without ever dropping the ball on quality.

📧 You have a sharp eye for spotting automation hiccups and the top-tier judgment needed to actually fix them, not just flag them.

📧 You're totally comfortable and skilled at using AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Klaviyo AI) to level up your daily workflow.

📧 Your written English communication skills are top-notch (C1 level), and you're highly reliable when it comes to async communication.

📧 Bonus Points: You’ve got experience working under a client-side approval gate, or you can brag about a specific KPI you crushed and exactly how you did it!
