As CoProcure’s first marketing hire, you’ll be the go-to expert on all things marketing. You will focus especially on email and lifecycle marketing to drive acquisition, activation, and engagement of government buyers. You will own our end-to-end email marketing strategy, create segmentation and build processes that create compelling email campaigns, and write and send those emails. While most of your time will be spent on lifecycle and email marketing, you will also own all performance marketing and social media engagement on behalf of our company, and own the overall marketing strategy. You will report directly to our CEO and work closely with our community and product teams. We expect to grow quite a bit over the coming year, and you will have the opportunity to help us build out the marketing team as well.

• Outstanding communication and writing skills: You can create fast, engaging copy to include in emails and marketing collateral. You’re also proactive about communicating about your work, strategy, and dependencies with other teammates and leadership.
• Ability to use data to drive decisions: You’re in the habit of articulating and measuring your progress using qualitative and quantitative data and using this data to inform and refine your approach.
• Fluency with email marketing tools: Hands-on experience with email marketing tools and marketing automation platforms (MailChimp, Marketo, Iterable, Drift, or equivalent tools).
• Organized and self-motivated. You can keep track of many moving parts and execute with a sense of urgency and attention to details. You are highly organized and capable of managing several projects with multiple timelines and objectives at once.
