Email Marketing Manager

Guaranteed Rate is looking for an email connoisseur. We need new creative outbound email strategies and you’ve got a diary of new ideas – no really it’s under your pillow. You’re maniacal about data tracking, click-thrus, open rates and pretty much any other data we’ll need to drive our efforts. You love teams, but you especially love IT – they’re your bestie. You have visions of email infrastructures dancing in your head and can’t wait to implement them! If this is you in a nutshell, come bust down our doors and wow us with your email expertise – seriously, we want to be wow’d.

Who is GR?

Guaranteed Rate is not your typical company and certainly not your typical mortgage company. We are young, have tons of energy and we love what we do – get people great priced mortgages and wow them with our impeccable customer service. Also, our location rocks – right off the brown line. No really, the train rumbles past our windows. Our home base is an old textile building that’s been turned into a hip office with exposed brick and duct work, windows we can actually open during the summer and an open floor plan – no cubicle life here. There are a few offices, but we totally outnumber the office dwellers. The awesomeness doesn’t end there, we also have:

• Free 20 minute monthly massages. It’s true, we don’t want you to be a cramped-up mess.
• A free on-site nurse. Psshh who needs a doctor’s appointment when our nurse can do it all? Did we mention the free part?
• An in-house café offering breakfast, lunch and a late afternoon healthy snack. All meals are subsidized so you’ll never pay full price.
• Access to the office gym for only $20 a year – no really - the whole year.  Oh and for a puny fee you can take yoga, Cross Fit or boxing. We like our folks healthy and happy.
• A 5,000 square foot rooftop deck that’s available to everyone all day and all evening with wifi, two bars, music, grills and fun umbrellas and fire pits – provided it’s not covered in snow.
• Holiday parties? We got’em! Not just major holidays, any holiday….Marti Gras, Valentine’s Day, St. Paddy’s Day, Opening Day, Boxing Day (for our Canadian employee), Sweetest Day, Groundhog Day, etc..
• Inter-office contests like the Great Mac-Off, Chili Cook-Off and limbo. We always keep you guessing and participating.
• 401k with some matching, Blue Cross health care coverage – yup, dental and vision too, Short-term disability, life insurance – we got ya covered on this one, legal assistance – for a small monthly fee and did we mention the awesome rooftop deck?

While we don’t allow jeans, we also don’t allow suits. We want you to just look your best every day and you’ll fit right in. 

So what do we want from you?

We’re just gonna give it to you straight. Here’s what’s important:

• Managing our email schedule, testing and reporting. We love testing, being on time and lots of data - did we mention we love data?
• We’re crazy about new ideas and you should love sharing yours - we want to know so tell us.
• You’ll have some writing skills – you’re not Shakespeare, but email copy comes easy. Don’t fret, if you ever get stuck we have a rock star writing team.
• Aside from IT, you love designers – they’re a colorful group. You’ll work with them to design scheduled monthly email campaigns.
• We’re OCD about list hygiene, segmentation, privacy, spam regulation and deliverability – who cares about uneven blinds when your spam settings are off!?
• Manage email browser compatibility – I mean really, it has to actually work for everyone and look great on all devices – desktop, tablet, smartphone
• You like goals, deadlines and changing pace on a dime – that’s just a typical day for you.

Here’s the experience we’d like you to have:

• We love our educated team players, but if you’ve got what it takes come wow us!
• We’d like about 3-5 years of email marketing experience.
• Identify and interpret campaign metrics to improve future campaign performance.
• Ability to fully develop and execute complex automated campaigns is your kind of a party.
• Technical understanding of HTML and CSS doesn’t hurt to know in this kind of a role.
• Knowledge of deliverability best practices and Google Analytics is double the excitement for you.
• Outstanding ability to think creatively, strategically, and troubleshoot problems as they arise.
• If you know SQL – that’s awesome! If not, it’s cool but have a willingness to learn it.
• You know email MAP systems (like Eloqua) and Excel…like the back of your hand.
