Responsibilities include - Designing, building and maintaining complex multi-step journeys in Iterable, including branching logic, dynamic content, and cross-channel orchestration. - Owning the technical relationship with our CRM platform: data feeds, event tracking, API/webhook integrations, catalogue/template systems, and troubleshooting. - Translating business and lifecycle goals (onboarding, activation, retention, win-back) into technical builds without losing the strategic intent along the way. - Partnering with our data/analytics function (and external agency where relevant) to ensure journeys are properly instrumented for measurement and attribution. - Identifying opportunities to make execution more scalable (e.g. templating, dynamic content blocks, catalogue-based builds) so the team can do more with existing resources. - Supporting QA and act as technical backstop/escalation point. - Staying close to the platform roadmap and new features (Iterable and adjacent martech) and proactively recommending where we should adopt them. ## Requirements **A little bit about you.** We’d really like to hear from you, if you have - Demonstrable experience building in Iterable (or a comparable platform: Braze, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Klaviyo) at a technical level. - Comfortable experience with liquid/handlebars templating, basic data structures (JSON), event-based triggers, and API-level thinking. - Strong understanding of lifecycle marketing principles. - A builder's mindset: you'd rather prototype and test than write a long spec - Experience working with or alongside data/analytics teams on tracking, attribution, or incrementality - Comfortable experience holding technical ownership ## Benefits Life at Pion.
