Email Deliverability & Infrastructure Specialist

Company Description

We're looking for a highly skilled Email Deliverability & Infrastructure Specialist to build and scale enterprise email capabilities across our lending companies.

This is a rare opportunity to own email deliverability strategy, influence the development of proprietary marketing technology, and establish the standards that drive customer engagement across multiple brands. You'll partner with leadership, marketing, operations, and software development teams to shape the future of our email ecosystem while serving as the organization's trusted subject matter expert.

If you're the person who understands what happens between hitting "send" and landing in the inbox, and you're excited by the opportunity to build something rather than inherit it, we'd love to hear from you!

Why Join Us?
This is a rare opportunity to build a function from the ground up, influence technology decisions, and establish the standards that will shape email marketing across our organization. As our marketing technology capabilities continue to grow, this role offers significant opportunities for expanded ownership and future leadership responsibility.
