Email Marketing Manager
Paramount Games — Growth & Marketing
Engagement: Freelance / Contract
Hours: Variable, TBD based on campaign volume
About the Role
Paramount Games is looking for a contractor/temporary Email Marketing Specialist to support campaign execution across our growing portfolio of titles. This is a hands-on, end-to-end role — you'll move fluidly between strategy and execution, owning everything from copy and build to deployment and reporting. You'll work closely with our in-house campaign and design teams, but you need to be able to operate independently and move fast.
This is not a strategy-only or copy-only role. The right person is equally comfortable writing subject lines and building journeys in Salesforce Marketing Cloud.
