Role Overview

We are a high-growth tech hub serving the global pickleball community. Our ecosystem supports the "creators" of pickleball play and the players themselves.

This role owns email communications, campaign execution, and marketing automations for Pickleball Play Solutions (powered by Pickleball.com). The primary goal is to support player and play provider engagement, tournament promotion, sponsor visibility, and internal business units through consistent, accurate, and well-timed email marketing.

The role spans newsletter production, promotional campaigns, transactional reminders, and automation building using DailyStory and Zapier.

While some of our foundational email flows and templates are built, we are looking for a dedicated Email Optimizer to take our multi-product offerings to the next level. You won't just be "sending emails"—you will be architecting and managing customer journey’s, campaign attribution, and automated conversion paths. You will use data and API-driven triggers to ensure that every email we send is a high-value touchpoint that turns casual users into power users.

Key Responsibilities

Email Journey Optimization

Audit and refine existing automated email journeys for B2B SAAS users and B2C SAAS users to improve adoption, conversion, and retention.
Create and optimize the "next phase" of automated emails for all of our products, focusing specifically on user activation and long-term retention.
Identify drop-off points in the onboarding and engagement cycles and identify "abandon cart” opportunities. You will be expected to move the needle on key metrics through iterative testing.
Oversee how user actions in our products trigger automated emails via DailyStory APIs.
Implement dynamic content logic to ensure players receive emails tailored to their specific skill level, location, and play history.
Proactively monitor sender reputation and manage list hygiene for a rapidly expanding global database to ensure we stay out of the spam folder.

Automation and Process

Build and maintain email automations that support marketing and operational workflows.
Create automations using filters, triggers, and audience rules.
Common use cases include: behavioral triggers, scheduled sends, segmented campaigns
Connect third-party tools to DailyStory via Zapier like Monday, Google Sheets, and other 3rd party tools

KPI Accountability - Track and report on Email Attribution, Revenue Per Message (RPM), and Subscriber Lifetime Value (LTV).
Collaborate with sales, support, and product development teams to align email efforts with broader business objectives.
