Marketing Automation Analyst
Work directly with America's best employers to bring joy to millions of employees!
Chicago + Remote: We have a solid footprint in Chicago, but we also hire exceptionally talented people who reside elsewhere.
We love the friendships we've forged in our Chicago office. But let's be real; things have changed. We don't plan to all return 100% in-office, but our office and gym are open on an optional basis for all employees who feel comfortable, including happy hours and team events. However, because culture and relationships are important to us, all candidates should be open to being in-office with their teams at pre-arranged times throughout the year. The specifics vary by role, so please discuss your plans with the hiring team.

As our in-house Marketing Automation Analyst, you will work with creatives, Sales, and the Business Intelligence team to craft winning email marketing and automation strategies.

That means we’re going to trust you with more responsibility than you’d have anywhere else and invest in your success and growth more than any other employer.

Your First Few Months
During your first 90 days, we’ll be focused on getting you acclimated to the PerkSpot brand and our company culture. You’ll work with the Sales team to understand their strategy, and the Client Success team to understand how to grow and manage an existing client base. After that you’ll work with the Marketing team and our third-party agency to understand our existing marketing automation efforts and develop a plan to grow them. Then it’s off to the races, and you’ll eventually take over the agency’s duties through collaboration with the Marketing Manager and VP of Marketing.
The Perks of Working at PerkSpot
We’re a big platform, but still a small team. That means we’re going to trust you with more responsibility than elsewhere, and invest in you more. You’re going to grow – a lot.
We work out of our office in Chicago’s River North neighborhood. When we are in the office, we dress how we like, encourage flexible hours and an open time-off policy, stock a good beer selection, and we’re pretty obsessive about our coffee. Most of all, we welcome good people with lots of energy and enthusiasm.
PerkSpot offers the full suite of benefits you’d expect from a profitable, established company, including health and dental insurance, a generous parental leave policy, 401(k), pre-tax transit benefits, and fully-funded disability coverage. We have in-office bike storage, a private gym, and a shower on-site.
We hold weekly company get-togethers where we learn from what went wrong and celebrate what went right. Every week at PerkSpot, we aim a little higher and get a little bit better than the previous week.
Because we consider every member of our team to be a fundamental part of our success, we encourage everyone to be invested in our success, regardless of their position. We want every one of our employees to think like an owner: put in the effort to exceed expectations, solve problems before they come up, and always go the extra mile. It’s this drive to succeed that makes PerkSpot such an interactive and fulfilling place to work.
