Job Description

Email Marketing Specialist

Hey, you! Wanna become #OneOfUs?
We are on the lookout for a sharp, AI-powered lifecycle marketer to join our HKR team as a Email Marketing Specialist, working for a US-based client in scaling email revenue through Klaviyo + Shopify automations.
Btw, HKR was remote before it was even cool!
Remote is allowed, encouraged, and the norm. Now, and forever. There’s only one catch, and it comes from this guy:
“Whatever you are, be a good one” - Abraham Lincoln.
To apply, please fill out our external form.
(You will be redirected to it automatically, once you click "Apply").
What you'll be doing?

Own the full execution cycle for 5-7 awesome brands: draft killer creative briefs, direct designers, QA builds in Figma, and lock in client approvals.

Rule the send calendar in ClickUp, nailing segmentation, exclusions, and suppression logic so every campaign hits the mark.

Be the boss of automations: monitor flow and form performance against benchmarks, diagnose any underperforming setups (timing, audience, deliverability, triggers), and fix them like a pro.

Look ahead and build epic monthly campaign calendars 30 to 60+ days in advance to keep the strategy fresh and proactive.

Run weekly account health checks to keep everything smooth and flag any risks before they even become a thing.

Chat it up with clients, owning day-to-day communications and presenting your builds with clear, logical reasoning that moves approvals fast.

About you

You bring 2 to 4 years of hands-on lifecycle marketing experience (an agency background is a huge plus!).

You have deep, daily fluency in Klaviyo, Shopify, and ClickUp – this is your bread and butter, not just a bonus.

You've got a proven track record of managing 5 to 7 brands concurrently without ever dropping the ball on quality.

You have a sharp eye for spotting automation hiccups and the top-tier judgment needed to actually fix them, not just flag them.

You're totally comfortable and skilled at using AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Klaviyo AI) to level up your daily workflow.

Your written English communication skills are top-notch (C1 level), and you're highly reliable when it comes to async communication.

Bonus Points: You’ve got experience working under a client-side approval gate, or you can brag about a specific KPI you crushed and exactly how you did it!

Perks
Fair market pay
Remote, full-time job - work as an independent contractor from the comfort of your own home!
Mon-Fri, 9 AM - 6 PM EST schedule (with 1 hour of lunch break )
Start-up culture, young team, no egos, no BS
About Us
At HKR, we're all about the start-up life—innovative and dynamic, not corporate and stuffy. We're on a mission to simplify global HR.
Transparent culture, tech-savvy, and quick decision-making.
Feedback fuels our growth, and we celebrate all wins. Meritocracy is our game; it's what you bring to the table that counts.
Fantastic mix of US clients with more to come.
We value ownership and getting things done. We ask, "How much did you care?" If you're passionate, you're nailing it.
Ideal for creative minds who love contributing ideas and improving processes.
Oh... and we don't waste time in useless meetings.
Location
Based in Bucharest and Cluj, Romania, we're remote-first. Whether you work from home or pop into the office, we support what works best for you. Embracing change is who we are.
