Life at Pion Where People Thrive

At Pion, we’re driven by big ideas and bold thinkers.

Our purpose is clear: We make it possible to reward those who shape our world, from Students to Healthcare workers and more. That mission demands diverse perspectives and a culture where everyone belongs.

Our people power everything we do from innovation to collaboration. We’re here to break down barriers and build a space where everyone can grow, learn, and thrive—because affordability starts with empowered people.

Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet 60% of the requirements, women and those in underrepresented groups tend to only apply when they tick every box. We don’t think you should have to tick every box. We value your uniqueness, and it goes without saying that all applications are welcome, even if you don’t think you fit the criteria.

About the role.

As a result of our incredible success and growth, we are looking for a Senior CRM Manager (Technical)  to join us.

Responsibilities include 

• Designing, building and maintaining complex multi-step journeys in Iterable, including branching logic, dynamic content, and cross-channel orchestration.
• Owning the technical relationship with our CRM platform: data feeds, event tracking, API/webhook integrations, catalogue/template systems, and troubleshooting.
• Translating business and lifecycle goals (onboarding, activation, retention, win-back) into technical builds without losing the strategic intent along the way.
• Partnering with our data/analytics function (and external agency where relevant) to ensure journeys are properly instrumented for measurement and attribution.
• Identifying opportunities to make execution more scalable (e.g. templating, dynamic content blocks, catalogue-based builds) so the team can do more with existing resources.
• Supporting QA and act as technical backstop/escalation point.
• Staying close to the platform roadmap and new features (Iterable and adjacent martech) and proactively recommending where we should adopt them.

Requirements

A little bit about you.

We’d really like to hear from you, if you have

• Demonstrable experience building in Iterable (or a comparable platform: Braze, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Klaviyo) at a technical level. 
• Comfortable experience with liquid/handlebars templating, basic data structures (JSON), event-based triggers, and API-level thinking.
• Strong understanding of lifecycle marketing principles.
• A builder's mindset: you'd rather prototype and test than write a long spec
• Experience working with or alongside data/analytics teams on tracking, attribution, or incrementality
• Comfortable experience holding technical ownership
