Your New Role…

We are CNN. The world's most essential and engaging source of digital news. We are in the midst of rapid transformation and need our next generation of innovators, makers, and dreamers who will lead and drive our growth. We aim to make the world a better, more connected place.

This role will oversee everything from domain and mailbox management to deliverability monitoring and data integrity — while helping our teams make the most of the systems (including our ESP) that power our email products.

The ideal candidate will possess a robust background in email operations, possess a strong technical acumen, be detail-oriented, and thrive in a fast-paced, growth-oriented environment.

• Email Deliverability & Compliance: Monitor e-mail deliverability performance, maintain proper list hygiene and ensure compliance with CAN-SPAM, GDPR and other email regulations.
• Maintain Domain Reputation Build process and documentation for scalable domain and mailbox management. Proactively identify and mitigate deliverability issues including blacklistings, spam traps, etc.
• Performance Reporting and Insights. Track and report key e-mail campaign metrics (delivery, open and click rates) and help marketing and editorial teams use these insights to optimize their campaigns.
• Continuous Optimization: Stay current with email industry trends, compliance updates, best practices and emerging tools.  Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, automate workflows and adopt new ESP features that enhance e-mail engagement and performance.
• Issue Resolution & Support: Investigate and resolve technical issues, serving as a liaison between our internal teams and our vendor support to ensure timely resolution and minimal disruption. 
• Training & Enablement: Onboard and train team members on all processes and platforms. Educate teams on new ESP features and best practices to maximize platform utilization.

Qualifications & Experience…

• ESP Expertise: Hands-on experience managing and configuring major email marketing platforms (e.g., Zeta Marketing Platform, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Braze) including automation workflows, triggered campaigns, dynamic content, and integrations.
• Technical Understanding: Familiarity with email infrastructure, data flows, and delivery best practices (you don’t have to be an engineer, but you can speak their language). Experience with scripting or developing tools to automate tasks and processes is plus.
• Compliance Knowledge: Solid understanding of CAN-SPAM, GDPR, and other email marketing regulations, as well as email list management and deliverability best practices.
• Analytical Skills: Ability to analyze data, identify trends, and perform root cause analysis.
