Position: Project Manager (also has strong aspects of product ownership)
Location: Remote (EU citizens due to funding requirements)
Type: Part time 20 hours per week freelance contract (6 months)
Compensation: €37/hour, approximately €2,960/month
About the Project:
The Mautic Portability Project(External link) is an exciting initiative that aims to revolutionize how marketing campaigns are managed within Mautic, an open source marketing automation platform.
We received funding to complete the underlying development that enables marketers to export and import their campaigns, which was successfully delivered and ships with Mautic 7.0.
The next phase – Phase 2(External link) – is to build the front-end interface for marketers to interact with the Campaign Library, and allowing our community to contribute and access ready-to-use templates.
Why this project matters:
Mautic is a powerful tool used by marketers worldwide, but the current lack of portability for campaigns limits its potential.
By enabling campaign import/export, we aim to enhance user experience, promote best practices, and ensure compliance with data protection standards.
This project introduces a user-facing interface within a Campaign Library to streamline finding, importing, and exporting campaigns in Mautic. This not only accelerates the deployment of common marketing automation campaigns but also integrates community-submitted templates with those shipped with the core system.
This enhancement positions Mautic as a formidable open source competitor to platforms like Marketo, Salesforce, and HubSpot, which offer similar features, such as ActiveCampaign’s recipes.
Additionally, the library serves as an educational tool, instructing users on best practices related to compliance and workflow management.
