The Role

As the Senior Deliverability & Compliance Manager, you will ensure the highest standards of email deliverability and compliance across Mimecast’s global operations.

If you’re driven by solving problems and making an impact, this is the place for you.” – Hiring Manager

What We Are Looking For:

• Proven experience in email deliverability, compliance, or anti-abuse roles.

• Strong understanding of email protocols (SMTP, DKIM, SPF, DMARC), anti-spam technologies, and regulatory frameworks.
• Proven experience managing relationships with ISPs, blocklists, and regulatory agencies.
• Excellent leadership skills with the ability to motivate and develop team members in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to prioritize tasks effectively.
