POSITION OVERVIEW

At Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE), campaigns are integral to our core business, and becoming more and more essential and meaningful over time. Our brands today are focusing on providing customer value back to our fans, and campaigns play a big part of keeping our fans informed, engaged, and rewarded. A “campaign” can take many shapes at MLSE, but we index heavily on email campaigns. Throughout any given year, MLSE may send hundreds of emails to our subscribers. We accomplish all of this working hand-in-hand with our agency partner, but even with their help, there’s a lot to balance to keep this operation running efficiently and improving. That’s where you come in. 

You will report to our Manager, Campaigns Strategy, and your role is primarily focused on the management, coordination, and operations of our Campaigns business. Our team serves as the pipeline of work to our agency partner, and we are accountable for campaign quality, success and ROI. In order to achieve these results, you will need to juggle a wide range of needs and requests from a complex business while simultaneously guiding stakeholders towards better email practices.

• Experience in email marketing, CRM, loyalty marketing or project management (or, even better, some combination of these).
• Strong analytical skills and data-driven thinking
• Some might say you’re particular, but you prefer to think of yourself as “extremely well-organized”.
• You are a process junkie. You know that the right way of working makes things easier, not harder.
• Digital is where you are most comfortable.
• You get your hands dirty with your work.
• Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint - the usual stuff.
