Email Deliverability Specialist
We're looking for an experienced Email Deliverability Specialist to take full ownership of our email channel and become the go-to expert for everything related to its stability, scalability, and performance.
This is not a traditional Email Marketing Manager role focused on launching campaigns. Instead, you'll own email as a critical product: managing domain and IP reputation, deliverability, infrastructure, and ensuring sustainable growth of our sending volumes.
Our current stack:
- Smartico โ CRM/CDP and customer journey orchestration
- Mailgun โ Email Service Provider (ESP)
As our business continues to grow rapidly, email volumes will increase significantly. We're looking for someone who knows how to scale responsibly by maintaining domain reputation, warming up infrastructure, keeping databases healthy, and continuously optimizing deliverability.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience managing email deliverability at scale (hundreds of thousands of emails sent daily).
- Hands-on experience improving deliverability with measurable business results.
- Strong understanding of:
- SPF
- DKIM
- DMARC
- Domain & IP reputation
- Gmail spam filtering mechanisms
- Experience warming up new domains and IPs.
- Experience recovering from blacklist incidents.
- Hands-on experience with ESP platforms (Mailgun is a strong advantage).
- Strong knowledge of Postmaster tools and deliverability monitoring.
- Analytical mindset with the ability to identify root causes rather than treating symptoms.
- English level sufficient for written communication with providers and blacklist services.
Nice to Have
- Experience in iGaming or Online Gambling.
- Experience with Smartico, Optimove, FastTrack, or similar CRM/CDP platforms.
- Experience scaling email traffic several times while maintaining deliverability.
- Understanding of the Indian market and Gmail-heavy user bases.
