Hire an email marketer: email and lifecycle hiring without the agency fee
Email marketing is where good execution is quietly worth a lot of money, because it works on people who already know you. A strong email marketer owns lifecycle flows, segmentation, deliverability and the revenue that email drives, often inside Klaviyo, Braze, HubSpot or Marketo. A weak one sends a pretty newsletter and calls it a program. Both will have the same title on a resume.

The short answer
Hiring an email marketer in the United States costs roughly $55,000 to $90,000 a year for a full-time hire, or $50 to $125 an hour for a freelancer. A recruitment agency will typically add 15% to 25% of first-year base salary, which is $8,250 to $22,500 on that band. Posting the role directly to a marketing job board costs $199 for a 30-day post. The best email hires can show a flow or a program they built and the revenue, retention, or deliverability change that followed, not just a nice-looking template.

Why post here
A board built only for marketing roles
Lifecycle people, not everyone
Your role surfaces to marketers who filter the board by email and lifecycle, so you screen people who have run a real program, not a general pile.
A flat $199, not 20% of salary
A contingency recruiter on a $70,000 email role typically bills $10,500 to $17,500. A 30-day post here is $199.
Name the platform and the outcome
Klaviyo, Braze, HubSpot and Marketo are different jobs. Say which you run and what the person will own, and the right specialists self-select.
How it works
From posting to a signed offer
Name the platform and the program
Say which tool you run and whether the person owns lifecycle flows, campaigns, deliverability or all of it. A precise scope draws the specialists who fit it.
Post it with the salary band
Post for $199 and the role goes live the same day, tagged email, with the USD band on the card so applicants have accepted your number.
Ask for the program and the result
Have finalists walk you through one flow or program they built: what it did, why, and what it returned. The people who ran it answer from memory.
How to evaluate
What to look for in a email marketer
Write the role around the platform and the outcomes the person will own, then put it in front of the people who do lifecycle for a living. MarketerJob lists marketing roles only, so an email posting reaches marketers who filter the board by email and lifecycle, at $199 for a 30-day post rather than a percentage of the salary, with the pay band on the card.
- A flow or program they built, and the revenue, retention or deliverability it moved
- Which platform they actually operate: Klaviyo, Braze, HubSpot, Marketo, Iterable
- How they think about segmentation and lifecycle, not just campaign sends
- Deliverability judgment: list hygiene, warm-up, and what they do when it drops
- Comfort reading the numbers: open and click are table stakes, revenue is the point
- A portfolio of good-looking templates with no results attached is a weak signal
