Include: "Experience with [name of your email marketing system], A/B testing, and segmentation logic."
Example (attach a link to an existing newsletter): "You'll produce our weekly newsletter. Please draft a subject line A/B test and segment logic for the linked newsletter and include it in your cover letter."
Skills Testing
Provide campaign goals, the topic for a newsletter, audience data, and ask the candidate to: propose 2 subject lines, define segment rules, and draft a sketch email layout.

Performance Management
Track: open rate, click-through rate, and unsubscribe rate vs. benchmarks.
Post-campaign debrief: "What did the data teach us about what resonates?"
These tips should help you draft a job posting, evaluate their skills during selection, actively manage cultural differences, and manage performance once they start working with you.
