About us: Apply Digital’s Marketing Services division is a rapidly expanding full-service Martech team with team members in the US, Europe, LATAM, and Asia.

  • Work closely with the client team to field requests, answer questions, and collaborate on work-in-progress tasks.
  • Ensure that emails comply with clients' standards, email marketing best practices, and CAN-Spam laws.
  • Test email messages to ensure proper formats and templates are utilized using tools such as Litmus and Email on Acid.

Minimum requirements to be considered:

  • 5+ years of email production and development experience.
  • Mastery of HTML and CSS specific to email.
  • Extensive experience working with SailThru, including developing and deploying email templates using Zephyr templating language.
  • Proficiency with JSON.
  • Knows what an API is, how it works, and is proficient in making GET and POST calls.
  • Understand how a data feed works.
  • Has an understanding of email code structure and knows how to make code responsive for different devices.
  • Has strong email etiquette and can communicate with testing, QC, and updates directly with clients.
  • Can take feedback, clarify it, and make adjustments several times if needed.

The ideal candidate:

  • Platform experience with Sailthru
  • Knowledge of Zephyr
  • Proficiency with Photoshop and Figma.
