About the role
Job Description Summary:
Pay Range: $55k-$60k
Hybrid: 3940 N. Ravenswood, Chicago, IL
Role Overview:
We’re hiring a Junior Marketing Automation Specialist to join our marketing automation team. In this role, you’ll build and maintain the custom automations that connect and power our marketing technology stack. Early on, the emphasis is on learning the technical backends of our platforms—APIs, data schemas, authentication, and how data flows between systems—and translating marketing needs into working automations using visual workflow builders. This is a hands-on, build-focused role for someone who’s curious about how systems connect and motivated to grow their technical depth quickly.
Responsibilities
Responsibilities
Build initial (V1) automations using visual workflow builder tools such as Microsoft Power Automate, Adobe Workfront Fusion, Workato, etc. to connect and support our marketing platforms
Learn the technical backends of the platforms in our stack—APIs, data schemas, authentication methods, and how data moves between systems—and apply that understanding to build efficient, reliable automations
Maintain, monitor, and troubleshoot existing automations (especially those you’ve built), ensuring uptime, data integrity, and consistent performance
Think creatively to design automation solutions that meet evolving business and marketing needs, and identify opportunities to improve or streamline existing workflows
Apply data-integrity and security best practices throughout the automation lifecycle (data handling, access, and connection management)
Document automations clearly—workflows, data mappings, dependencies, and known edge cases—so they’re maintainable over time
Provide a small amount of direct platform support, primarily handling escalations that stem from automation gaps or failures
Collaborate closely with the marketing automation team, and support automation needs on projects owned by other teams as needed
Other duties as assigned
