About the job

Ephemeral is creating a world of limitless self-expression, where every body is a canvas. This is all possible due to our proprietary made-to-fade tattoo (developed over 6 years by Chemical Engineers), our owned and operated studios and our investment in building a beloved brand. We value ownership, fearlessness, creativity and diversity of thought. Read more about us at Fast Company and Forbes.

A core part of our vision and strategy includes reimagining the digital experience of the tattoo journey. The current pre-appointment tattoo experience (from researching your tattoo to booking an appointment) is extremely fragmented, and the post-appointment engagement is non-existent (once you get your tattoo, that's it!). At Ephemeral, we're hoping to change that.

Email, in particular, plays a critical role in how we communicate with our audience and how we operationalize our business. 

As our Email & Marketing Automation Lead you will drive the conceptualizing, creating and managing retention and engagement initiatives via automated and personalized email marketing & SMS programs. You will collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, design, and digital marketing to engage our audience, to maximize conversion (reservations) onsite, and to build loyalty with our brand.
