Specialist, eCommerce & Digital Marketing

Unity School of Christianity - Unity Village, MO 64065

Overview

Position Type Full Time

Description

Position Summary: The Specialist, eCommerce & Digital Marketing is responsible for the day-to-day operations, performance, and growth of Unity's online retail presence. This role owns the technical and content side of Unity's Shopify store and Klaviyo email platform from setting up and maintaining product listings to building email flows that turn browsers into buyers and one-time purchasers into repeat customers.

This is a hands-on, execution-focused role for someone who is equally comfortable optimizing a product page and writing a promotional email and who understands how to use data to make both better. The Specialist works closely with the Director of Constituent Engagement and collaborates with the Web, Design, and Communications teams to ensure Unity's eCommerce experience reflects the quality and spirit of its mission.

Who You Are: You are a detail-oriented digital marketer who takes pride in getting things right from a perfectly formatted product page to a subject line that earns the open. You understand the connection between great content and measurable results, and you know how to use both creativity and data to move people from curious to converted. You're energized by a mission-driven environment and bring the same care to your work that Unity brings to its community.
