Job Description

Email Marketing Specialist managing email programs for active adults at Neighborhoods.com. Building segmentation models and optimizing deliverability for better engagement.

Responsibilities:

  • Own the day-to-day operations of our email program while also contributing meaningfully to strategy — segmentation logic, lifecycle architecture, deliverability health, and personalization frameworks that serve an audience with a longer consideration timeline and higher expectations for relevance than most.
  • Build and maintain behavioral segmentation models using first-party data, including search activity, geographic preferences, community saves, price range, time on site, and content engagement.
  • Create dynamic content rules within email templates that adapt messaging, images, and CTAs based on subscriber attributes and behavior — no two active adult buyers are identical.
  • Develop audience segments specific to distinct buyer profiles: the actively searching retiree, the pre-retirement planner 3–5 years out, and the adult child researching communities for a parent.
  • Partner with product and data teams to expand the behavioral signals available for targeting, and document segment definitions so the broader team can use them.
  • Monitor segment performance over time and refine definitions as buyer behavior evolves — especially as Gen X begins to enter the active adult audience in larger numbers.

Requirements:

  • 3–5 years of hands-on email marketing experience, with demonstrable ownership of segmentation, automation builds, and deliverability monitoring
  • Proficiency in HubSpot and/or Drip — you have personally built multi-branch automation workflows, not just edited existing ones
  • Working knowledge of email deliverability: you understand what SPF, DKIM, and DMARC do, you have used Google Postmaster Tools, and you know what to do when bounce rates spike
  • Comfort with data and analytics — you can pull performance reports independently, interpret what the numbers mean, and translate findings into recommendations
  • Experience with behavioral segmentation and trigger-based email: you have used real user activity data to personalize and automate, not just demographic list filters
  • Strong attention to detail — broken links, incorrect merge fields, and logic errors in automation flows are things you catch before they go out, not after
  • Clear, concise written communication — you understand that the 55+ audience values clarity, warmth, and directness over marketing-speak.

Benefits:

  • Own real programs with real impact — this is not a support role. You will build things, see them perform, and be recognized for the results.
  • Work with rich first-party behavioral data from millions of active adult property searches — the kind of segmentation signal most email marketers never get access to
  • Clear path forward — this contractor role carries a genuine pathway to full-time employment. Strong performers are evaluated for conversion on a rolling basis.
  • Grow quickly — the email channel at 55places is investing and expanding, and strong performers have a clear path toward senior and manager-level roles.
  • Mission that matters — you are helping people find the right home for the next chapter of their lives, which turns out to be genuinely motivating work.
