Freelance Email Production Specialist

Overview

The Pelago Growth team is looking for a freelancer to help build out and update email templates in Iterable ahead of upcoming campaign launches. This is a short-term engagement to support a known backlog of template work, with potential for additional project-based engagements going forward.

 

Scope of Work

The freelancer will be responsible for:

• Translating Figma mockups into production-ready email templates using the Iterable WYSIWYG builder
• Inserting handlebar (personalization) logic into templates at the correct positions — logic will be provided by the Pelago Growth team
• Basic template QA — confirming templates render correctly across major email clients, that handlebar logic renders as expected, and flagging any issues before handoff to the Growth team for final review
• Ensuring all templates follow email best practices (accessibility, rendering across clients, proper HTML structure, plain-text fallbacks)

 

What We're Not Looking For

This role does not require email strategy, copywriting, or ESP administration. The Growth team owns logic, messaging, and campaign QA — we need a builder who can also verify their own work.

 

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience building email templates in Iterable (required — please include examples or portfolio)
• Fluency translating design from Figma to Iterable 
• Familiarity with handlebar/merge tag syntax in ESPs
• Ability to work from Figma designs with minimal back-and-forth
• Desktop → mobile email design translation and optimization
• Experience QA-ing email templates across clients (Litmus or equivalent)
• Strong attention to detail; templates must be pixel-accurate (to the degree possible within the WYSIWYG builder) and tested

 

Engagement

Project-based / hourly, remote.

Hours / week: 10 hrs

Compensation: $65-$75/hr DOE

Candidate should be available to start within 2 weeks.
