About the Role
DoorDash's marketing product operations team is the connective tissue between our Retention Marketing organization and the tools, systems, and data that power it. As an Associate Manager on CRM Automation, you'll own developing the AI-powered automation that helps our Campaign Operators build, edit, QA, and monitor CRM campaigns faster and with fewer errors across every audience we serve.
You'll partner closely with Campaign Operators to find where manual work slows them down. You'll use these learnings to then partner with our Martech team to design, ship, and scale internal AI-enabled tools and workflows that remove it. This is a highly cross-functional, builder-oriented role for someone who wants to own CRM automation end-to-end.
You're excited about this opportunity because you will…
- Own and evolve the CRM automation roadmap, using DoorDash's internal AI tools to help Campaign Operators build, edit, QA, and monitor campaigns more efficiently
- Identify high-effort manual steps in campaign build and edit workflows and design AI-assisted automations to replace them
- Apply AI to campaign QA and ongoing monitoring so issues are caught early and surfaced quickly across all audiences
- Partner cross-functionally with Campaign Operators, Marketing, Martech, and Product to define requirements and prioritize what to automate next
- Track and report on adoption, time saved, and campaign error rates to demonstrate the impact of automation
- Build documentation, SOPs, and training that help Campaign Operators adopt new tools and workflows with confidence
We're excited about you because…
- 4+ years of experience in marketing technology, marketing operations, CRM marketing, program management, or a similar operational role at a technology company
- Hands-on experience building, editing, or operating CRM campaigns in marketing automation platforms (Braze, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Iterable, Responsys, or similar)
- Fluency with AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot) and a demonstrated ability to apply them to automate repetitive work
- Demonstrated ability to coordinate cross-functional projects – defining milestones, managing dependencies, and keeping stakeholders aligned
- Comfort working with data to track adoption and efficiency metrics and surface insights; experience with dashboards or basic SQL a plus
- Strong written and verbal communication skills – able to translate technical automation into plain language for campaign operators
- Detail-oriented with a high bar for quality; you notice what's missing before others do
Nice to Have
- Experience building automations or workflows with AI tools, scripts, APIs, or low-code/no-code platforms
- Experience working across multiple brands/audiences (e.g., consumer, B2B, international)
- Basic SQL knowledge for querying campaign or usage data
- Experience writing internal documentation, training materials, or adoption playbooks
We expect this position to be filled by 12/29/2026

Marketing Operations Specialist Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a marketing operations specialist in California?
A bachelor's degree in marketing, business, communications, or a related field is the standard entry point for this role in California. No state-issued license is required, but platform certifications from Marketo, HubSpot, or Salesforce are widely expected by California employers and often listed as requirements. Building hands-on experience through internships, marketing coordinator roles, or in-house agency work at California tech or media companies is the most direct path to a full specialist position.
How much do marketing operations specialists make in California?
Marketing operations specialists in California earn a median of about $94,700 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $48,440 for the lowest 10% to over $181,600 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire marketing operations specialists in California?
Employers hiring marketing operations specialists in California right now include TikTok, BD, and ITW, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. California's density of enterprise software, media, and consumer tech companies means demand is spread across both large corporate marketing departments and fast-scaling startups in the Bay Area and Los Angeles.
Which California cities have the most marketing operations specialist jobs?
Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Tustin have the most marketing operations specialist openings in California. San Francisco and the broader Bay Area lead because of the concentration of enterprise software and SaaS headquarters, Los Angeles draws demand from entertainment, e-commerce, and digital media companies, and San Diego's strong biotech and consumer brand presence keeps a steady stream of openings in its own right.
Are there remote marketing operations specialist jobs in California?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 50% of marketing operations specialist openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how desk-based and systems-driven the role is by nature. The functions most commonly offered as fully remote are campaign operations, marketing automation management, and CRM administration, where daily work lives inside software platforms rather than a physical office.
How can I get hired as a marketing operations specialist in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a marketing coordinator or marketing analyst role at a California tech, SaaS, or e-commerce company, where exposure to automation tools and CRM systems builds the core skill set quickly. Large California employers like Salesforce and Adobe run structured associate and rotational programs that place early-career candidates into marketing operations functions. Earning a free or low-cost certification in Marketo, HubSpot, or Salesforce before applying gives candidates a concrete, verifiable edge over others without direct experience.
Where can I find and apply to marketing operations specialist jobs in California?
You can find and apply to marketing operations specialist jobs in California on Migrate Mate, which lists current California openings from employers hiring now. Search the available roles, find the ones that fit your background and location, and apply directly to each one.
