Job Summary

The Communications Developer supports the Proactive Communications product team by designing and developing customer-facing email and SMS communications across operational, transactional, and campaign-based use cases. This role is responsible for shaping how communications are structured, designed, personalized, and delivered to ensure they are clear, accessible, timely, and aligned with brand, regulatory, and customer experience standards. The position also plays a key role in improving how customers receive and engage with essential communications by building high-quality experiences in Convey and Salesforce Marketing Cloud, translating rough concepts into scalable, reusable templates and modules that support personalization, triggered journeys, and customer-attribute-driven messaging across outage alerts, billing reminders, payment confirmations, service updates, campaigns, and transactional notifications.

About You

You think in systems and customer moments, and you know how to turn design concepts into clear, effective communications that help people stay informed, take action, and feel confident in their experience. You collaborate closely with product managers, business analysts, content writers, and communications partners to create polished, production-ready email and SMS experiences that balance visual design, technical constraints, and customer needs. You bring strong HTML email development and CSS skills, along with experience using AMPscript and Server-Side JavaScript (SSJS) to support personalization, conditional content, and triggered journeys. You understand how to test and troubleshoot across email clients and mobile devices, apply accessibility, deliverability, and compliance best practices, and build reusable templates, modules, and design patterns that improve quality, speed to production, and customer trust.
