Retention Designer (Arg)

This remote job is targeting candidates for our South America Office.

Simplistic is looking for a Retention Designer to be a key member of our high-growth Retention Team. Unlike our core site design team, the Retention Designer focuses exclusively on the post-purchase customer journey and lifecycle marketing. You will own all facets of email and retention design, including content strategy, visual hierarchy, and high-conversion interaction design.

We are looking for a specialist who understands that email design is a balance of art and performance. You must have a sharp attention to detail, a strong work ethic, and the ability to iterate quickly based on data and feedback while meeting tight agency deadlines.
