Email Developer (SFMC)

The role is an integral part of ITG’s ECRM deliverables and omni-channel campaigns, across a wide range of industries.

You’ll be responsible for understanding project briefs, coding HTML emails, content entry, testing across multiple platforms (Litmus rendering emulation) and uploading to the broadcasting platform relevant to that campaign.

Tests will be sent to your team lead, or a peer for technical QC and then onto Client Services for content review, alongside a completed checklist to confirm the steps actioned. Any required amends will be fed back, and actioned as an amend round, and QC process repeats until final approval.

For some tasks briefed, externally sourced HTML will be provided for ESP conversion, so knowledge of ESPS such as Salesforce Marketing Cloud (or similar) is a must.

How will I succeed:

• Delivering email campaigns within the timescale set, ensuring accuracy of rendering and content.

• Exploring new and pioneering code techniques to introduce modern features, and implementing acceptable fallbacks where necessary.

• Showing initiative to manage your own workload effectively, and forward planning.

• Enhanced Family Friendly Leave – support for you and your family to help you navigate through the craziness of family life.
