Email Developer
The Email Marketing team at Harry’s is looking for an innovative Email Developer to own the development & QA of personalized emails and construct a library of reusable assets to create process efficiencies in how we build emails.
Harry’s
Harry’s was built out of respect for quality craftsmanship, simple design, modern convenience and most importantly for guys who know they shouldn't have to overpay for a great shave. Like many guys, we’ve long had to choose between over-priced razors that disrespect your intelligence, and cheap razors that disrespect your face. We knew there had to be a better way, so we created Harry’s as a return to the essential: a great shave at a fair price.
