Run the day-to-day of lifecycle campaigns, from ideation to execution. Collaborate with design, copy, and product teams to ensure messaging aligns with customer journeys. | Candidates should have 2-5 years of experience in lifecycle/email/CRM marketing and familiarity with tools like Iterable, Customer.io, or Braze. Strong analytical skills and attention to detail are essential for success in this role. | Introduction: The Zebra revolutionizes how connected consumers research and shop for insurance. We intentionally strive to build diverse teams that feel inclusive for all. Our motto is "All Stripes Welcome," we put that into practice by valuing traditional and non-conventional backgrounds and perspectives. Our Zeebs are passionate about learning, growing, & working together to tackle exciting problems. About the Role: We’re looking for a Lifecycle Email Marketing Specialist (2–5 years of experience) to help us level up how we talk to our customers. This isn’t just about sending emails — it’s about building thoughtful, automated touchpoints that feel useful, personal, and maybe even a little delightful. Location: Our employees can choose to work remotely in the U.S. Join us in our Austin, Texas office, or opt for a hybrid setup. Whether you prefer the structure of an office, the convenience of remote work, or a mix of both, we support what works best for you! Please note - At this time we are not able to hire in California, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and New York. What You'll Do: Run the day-to-day of our lifecycle campaigns: from sketching the idea, to setting it up in Iterable/Customer.io/Braze, to QA’ing that pesky broken link, to pushing “go.” Work with design, copy, and product folks to make sure every message has the right voice and vibe for where the customer is in their journey. Build segmentation and personalization that actually makes sense (not “Hi {first_name}”). Keep an eye on deliverability, run experiments, and figure out what’s working (and what isn’t).

You can juggle multiple campaigns without losing your mind (or your cool). You’re collaborative, curious, and not afraid to test and break things in the name of learning. Experience that will Impress the Heck Out of Us: You’ve worked with push, SMS, or in-app messaging too. You can hack a bit of HTML/CSS to fix an email. You’ve thought about the full customer journey beyond just “open rates.” Interview Process: Recruiter Interview Hiring Manager Interview Final Panel Interview Benefits & Perks: Inclusive and healthy environments are crafted intentionally.
