Marketing Operations Developer
As a remote-first organization headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida, Kobie values meaningful in-person connection and collaboration that strengthens our teams, supports our clients, and enhances our culture. While travel requirements vary by role, periodic travel may be required to support business objectives, team collaboration, customer engagements, training, and company events. Candidates should be able and willing to travel as needed to fulfill the responsibilities of the role.
HOW YOU WILL MAKE AN IMPACT
As a Marketing Ops Developer, you own the technical execution of campaigns from build through deployment. You’ll work across two core areas:
HTML Email Development
-
Develop and maintain HTML/CSS email templates — ensuring accurate rendering across devices, email clients, and platforms
-
Build reusable modular components and adapt client-specific templates to campaign requirements
-
Test email rendering across clients and devices using tools such as Litmus or Email on Acid
Journey & Campaign Development
-
Build and deploy outbound campaigns (primarily email) in Kobie-hosted platforms and client campaign management systems including Salesforce Marketing Cloud
-
Configure journey logic, audience segmentation, targeting rules, and suppression lists per campaign specifications
-
Implement dynamic content, personalization tokens, and promotional offer logic according to strategy requirements
-
Own the final deployment step for all assigned campaigns — ensuring accuracy and on-time delivery
Execution & Collaboration
-
Execute A/B and multivariate (MVT) test configurations according to defined test plans
-
Coordinate asset handoffs with Campaign Managers and content partners; flag dependency gaps proactively
-
Document execution best practices and maintain build standards within the Development pillar
-
Follow platform tooling standards and governance guidelines established by Campaign Management
-
At the end of the first year, success means: campaigns build accurately and on schedule, builds consistently pass QA with minimal rework, and platform standards and SOPs are followed without prompting
