ABOUT THE ROLE We're looking for an Email Marketing Manager to own and build OpenArt's lifecycle email function from the ground up.
This is a hands-on role for someone who has owned campaigns across the full customer lifecycle — activation, onboarding, retention, monetization, reactivation, and churn prevention — not just newsletter execution.
You will build both one-off campaigns and automated lifecycle flows, with a clear focus on connecting email activity to product outcomes.
You think like a growth marketer: you care about what happens after the click, and you understand how lifecycle campaigns shape user behavior, conversion, and long-term revenue.
