Backed by Greylock and Y Combinator, fully remote since 2018.Director, Email Deliverability
Postscript is the AI messaging platform trusted by 20,000+ Shopify brands — including Brooklinen, Ruggable, True Classic, and Dr. Squatch.
We built the best-in-class SMS marketing platform and the revenue-driving AI features no other platform offers — and now we're bringing that same obsession to email. As we expand into a true multi-channel platform for high-growth DTC brands, getting every message to the inbox is mission-critical.
Backed by Greylock and Y Combinator, fully remote since 2018.
Job Description
As the Director, Email Deliverability at Postscript, you'll own the strategy, infrastructure, and sender reputation that get our customers' email to the primary inbox. This is a foundational, hands-on leadership role: you'll build Postscript's email deliverability function from the ground up — IP and domain architecture, authentication standards, reputation monitoring, and mailbox-provider relationships — while serving as the trusted deliverability advisor our brands rely on as they migrate and scale their email programs on Postscript.
You'll partner closely with Product and Engineering to shape the deliverability tooling and infrastructure our platform is built on, and with Customer Success and Support to keep our customers' programs healthy. You'll set the standard for how 20,000+ brands reach the inbox — and as the function grows, you'll build and lead the team behind it.
This is a fully remote position and can be based in the US or Canada.
Key Responsibilities
Deliverability Strategy & Sender Reputation
Own Postscript's end-to-end email deliverability strategy — IP pool architecture, domain strategy, and shared vs. dedicated sending models.
Design and manage IP and domain warming programs that get new senders to volume quickly and safely.
Establish and enforce authentication standards (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, BIMI) and DMARC alignment across customer sending domains.
Monitor sender reputation, inbox placement, and blocklist activity, and lead rapid remediation when issues arise.
Keep Postscript ahead of evolving mailbox-provider requirements — Gmail, Yahoo, and Microsoft bulk-sender rules, spam-rate thresholds, and one-click unsubscribe.
Customer Deliverability & Advisory
Serve as the senior deliverability expert for our brands — auditing programs, diagnosing inbox-placement issues, and building remediation plans.
Lead deliverability onboarding for brands migrating their email to Postscript, including reputation transfer and warming strategy.
Translate complex deliverability concepts into clear, actionable guidance that marketers can act on.
Own escalations, partnering with customers to protect and grow their inbox placement and sending reputation.
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Foundation-Building
Partner with Product and Engineering to build the deliverability tooling, monitoring, and infrastructure that power the platform — and influence the roadmap with deliverability requirements.
Build the playbooks, processes, and standards that scale deliverability across thousands of senders.
Establish feedback loops (FBLs), Postmaster Tools, and reporting that give customers and internal teams visibility into deliverability health.
As the function matures, hire, mentor, and lead a team of deliverability specialists.
Industry Expertise & Compliance
Maintain expert-level knowledge of the deliverability landscape and represent Postscript in the broader community (e.g., M3AAWG, emailgeeks).
Build and steward relationships with mailbox providers and industry partners.
Ensure Postscript's sending practices and customer programs stay compliant with CAN-SPAM, GDPR, and mailbox-provider policies.
Leverage AI tools and internal systems to scale deliverability monitoring, diagnostics, and customer guidance.
What We'll Love About You
8+ years of dedicated email deliverability experience, ideally at an ESP, CDP, or high-volume sending platform (e.g., SendGrid/Twilio, Attentive, Braze, Klaviyo, Iterable, Validity/Return Path).
Deep technical command of email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, BIMI), IP and domain warming, sender reputation, and feedback loops.
Hands-on experience owning deliverability for bulk/high-volume senders, including diagnosing and remediating blocklistings and inbox-placement problems.
Fluency with Google Postmaster Tools, Yahoo Sender Hub, and the 2024+ Gmail/Yahoo/Microsoft bulk-sender requirements.
Existing relationships with mailbox providers and/or active participation in the deliverability community (M3AAWG, emailgeeks, etc.) strongly preferred.
A consultant's instinct — you can translate deep technical detail into strategy that non-technical marketers understand and act on.
Player-coach mindset: happy to do the hands-on work today and build the playbooks (and eventually the team) for tomorrow.
Strong understanding of e-commerce/DTC brands and how email drives revenue (e-commerce experience strongly preferred).
Comfortable building from scratch in a fast-paced, early-stage environment, with a growth mindset toward AI and emerging tooling.
Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, with high reliability and outstanding follow-through.
What You'll Love About Us
The chance to build a function from the ground floor and define how 20,000+ brands reach the inbox.
High-growth startup environment with opportunities to make a meaningful impact and grow your career.
Fully remote work culture – work from anywhere.
Fun, collaborative team passionate about e-commerce and innovation.

In today's digital age, social media platforms play a crucial role in shaping public discourse and influencing political and business landscapes. Facebook, being one of the largest and most influential social media platforms globally, serves as a powerful tool for women in politics to connect with constituents, share their perspectives, and advance their causes.
Living in a bustling city like Moscow can be both exciting and exhausting, especially for women navigating the competitive job market. The fast-paced lifestyle and high demands of work can often lead to women experiencing fatigue both physically and mentally.
Are you looking for information about how women and fatigue are related to Microsoft jobs and the business world? Let me craft a blog post for you on this topic.
In Honduras, women face a unique set of challenges when it comes to their participation in the workforce. One particular issue that affects many women in Honduras is fatigue. The combination of labor-intensive jobs, household responsibilities, and societal expectations can lead to high levels of fatigue among working women in the country.
