About us
We run The Transformation Network — a conscious podcast & livestream community focused on human potential, self-help, personal development and heart-centered leaders. We will provide the email template, messaging, and brand assets. We’re looking for a careful, deliverability-savvy outreach specialist to identify relevant podcasts and safely send large quantities of invitation emails without being marked as spam.

We currently have Brevo as an email sender, and are open to your suggestions for a better / cost effective platform to manage sending infrastructure.

Responsibilities
Research and compile high-quality lists of current podcasts, hosts, and producers in the human potential / self-help / personal development niches (contact info, show topics, audience size, social links).

Validate contact information (emails) and enrich lists with notes (best contact method, recent episode topics, ideal personalization hooks).

Run targeted cold email campaigns using approved templates and suggested personalization tokens.

Monitor deliverability and campaign metrics (deliverability, open, reply, bounce, unsubscribe, spam complaints) and iterate.

Maintain clean lists (remove bounces, unsubscribes, spam traps) and provide weekly reports.
Suggest improvements to templates and campaign strategy.

Required skills & experience
Proven experience running cold email campaigns at scale with excellent deliverability track record.
Familiarity with cold outreach platforms
Hands-on with domain & mailbox setup
Tools for research/enrichment (Podchaser, ListenNotes, LinkedIn, podcast websites) and for verifying email addresses.
Excellent written English; able to personalize at scale without sounding templated.
Strong reporting skills and transparency.
Ability to A/B test subject lines and small copy changes.

Deliverables
Weekly list of verified podcast contacts (CSV): show name, host, email, recent episode notes, URL.
Weekly email sends and deliverability report: emails sent, delivered, opens, replies, bounces, unsubscribes, spam complaints.
Target spam complaint rate: <0.03% (industry standard target), bounce <2% (adjust to your baseline).
Inbox placement goal: maximize primary-inbox placement and low spam rate.
