About the role
Overview
We're migrating an established ecommerce client from Mandrill to Maropost as part of a broader Shopify replatform. We have designers and strategy covered — the gap is a hands-on email developer who can take designs and turn them into production-ready, logic-driven templates inside Maropost.
You'll own the build-out of roughly 100 transactional and lifecycle marketing emails: Liquid-based templates, modular components, conditional logic for complex user segments, multi-country/multi-language support, and Shopify trigger integration. You'll also help audit and migrate existing Mandrill flows.
This is execution-focused work on a tight timeline (build complete before late-August UAT, September launch).
Responsibilities
- Build and deploy ~100 transactional and lifecycle emails in Maropost — order confirmations, shipping notifications, refunds, cancellations, account updates, abandoned cart, welcome/onboarding, reorder flows, product review requests, and promotional campaigns
- Develop a reusable, modular component library plus a global header/footer system aligned with the client's new design system
- Implement Liquid-based dynamic templates with conditional logic for variables like customer type (e.g., preferred customer vs. unaffiliated buyer), autoship vs. non-autoship, affiliate flows, subscription lifecycle events, and lead routing
- Configure multi-country and multi-language localization
- Audit the client's existing Mandrill email inventory and migrate flows to Maropost (or support a hybrid approach if needed)
- Wire up Shopify triggers to Maropost flows; validate end-to-end functionality alongside the broader platform migration
- Coordinate with subscription tooling (Seal Subscriptions) for subscription-related email events
- Support a dedicated QA phase covering business logic variability, localization, deliverability, and rendering across major clients and devices
- Document templates, components, and conditional logic so the client's marketing team can maintain and extend the system post-launchRequirements
