Job Description:
We seek an aspiring marketing email designer to support our client’s team in building email creatives, PowerPoint presentations, and assets for their owned and operated sites.
You will be responsible for designing and coding HTML email creatives for clients and landing pages. To support these efforts, you will use tools such as BeePro and Elementor on Wordpress.

- Designing HTML email creatives for clients.
