Intern Html Email Developer Jobs in Virginia (NOW HIRING)

About the team and what we'll build together

The Marketing Operations team is Kobie's campaign execution engine - delivering outbound loyalty communications for some of the world's most recognized brands. Organized into three pillars (Campaign Management, Development, and Quality Assurance), the team builds and deploys high-volume, personalized email campaigns that reach millions of loyalty members. As a Marketing Ops Developer, you'll sit at the heart of that delivery - owning the HTML and journey development that brings each campaign to life. You'll work closely with Campaign Managers, QA Analysts, and client teams to ensure every send is accurate, on-brand, and on time.

How you will make an impact

As a Marketing Ops Developer, you own the technical execution of campaigns from build through deployment. You'll work across two core areas:

HTML Email Development

• Develop and maintain HTML/CSS email templates - ensuring accurate rendering across devices, email clients, and platforms
• Build reusable modular components and adapt client-specific templates to campaign requirements
• Test email rendering across clients and devices using tools such as Litmus or Email on Acid

Journey & Campaign Development

• Build and deploy outbound campaigns (primarily email) in Kobie-hosted platforms and client campaign management systems including Salesforce Marketing Cloud
• Configure journey logic, audience segmentation, targeting rules, and suppression lists per campaign specifications
• Implement dynamic content, personalization tokens, and promotional offer logic according to strategy requirements
• Own the final deployment step for all assigned campaigns - ensuring accuracy and on-time delivery

Execution & Collaboration

• Execute A/B and multivariate (MVT) test configurations according to defined test plans
• Coordinate asset handoffs with Campaign Managers and content partners; flag dependency gaps proactively
• Document execution best practices and maintain build standards within the Development pillar
• Follow platform tooling standards and governance guidelines established by Campaign Management

At the end of the first year, success means: campaigns build accurately and on schedule, builds consistently pass QA with minimal rework, and platform standards and SOPs are followed without prompting
