Email Marketing Specialist (Mailchimp – Improve Open Rates & Deliverability)

Job Description:

I run a food brand with an email list of ~6,000 subscribers.

We previously achieved 40%+ open rates, but this has dropped to around 10–15%. I’m looking for someone experienced with Mailchimp to diagnose the issue and improve overall performance.

This is a simple, ongoing monthly role (approx. 1–2 hours), but I need someone who understands email marketing properly — not just someone who can send campaigns.

Your Responsibilities:

Audit my Mailchimp account and identify performance issues
Improve deliverability (reduce spam / bounce problems)
Optimise subject lines and send strategy
Clean and segment the email list
Monitor analytics and suggest improvements
Write and send 1 monthly email campaign (based on my brief)

What I’m Looking For:

Proven experience using Mailchimp
Strong understanding of:
Open rates & engagement
Deliverability and spam avoidance
List cleaning and segmentation
Ability to explain what’s going wrong and how to fix it
Strong written English

Important:

This is not just a writing role.

I’m looking for someone who can improve performance and results over time, not just send emails.

To Apply:

Why do email open rates drop over time?
What would you check first if open rates fall from 40% to 10%?
What steps would you take to fix this?
Write a short subject line + preview text for a food offer
What is your WhatsApp number?
