The role is suited for someone with B2B digital marketing experience (email and/or digital product preferred) while the ideal candidate will also naturally think in terms of logic and systems. We are looking for someone who enjoys exercising both logical/rational thinking as well as creative thinking on a daily basis.

- 1) Bolstering our KPI’s across all funnel steps, introducing experimental strategies, and testing/analyzing these for effectiveness.
- 2) Owning, organizing, and centralizing all email initiatives across our business units to optimize the usage of email while maximizing its effectiveness.
- 3) Being able to think creatively and speak to our customers and prospects while being able to structure the interplay of marketing systems.

- Start to take ownership of strategic initiatives and driving them forward with the relevant stakeholders, coordinating design, engineering, and content where required.
- Contribute ideas for new experiments and initiatives for the email marketing roadmap, focusing on business value and the overall impact on revenue.

- You must be a world-class individual contributor to thrive at Toptal. You will not be here just to tell other people what to do.
