The Role

Lifecycle marketing is at an exciting inflection point. We’ve laid the groundwork with early wins in driving revenue growth and retention, but we’re still in the early stages of building a scaled lifecycle marketing program.

We’re looking for a Lifecycle Marketing Manager with a high sense of ownership and creativity to continue our work in growing revenue through email, push and in app channels as well as driving new channel exploration. You’ll report to the Senior Manager, Lifecycle Marketing and partner closely with brand, marketplace, product, product marketing, data and engineering teams.

Collaborate with marketplace, healthcare, and product teams to drive growth - ensuring cohesive messaging, seamless user journeys, and automating winning strategies to drive growth

Requirements

5-7 years managing lifecycle marketing programs for 500K+ users at consumer-tech companies, particularly mobile apps using a modern CRM tech stack (Braze preferred)
Deep familiarity with email, push, SMS, and in app channels and how to optimize them (Note: Email coding experience is not required, but must understand html/css basics and be able to QA campaigns)
Deep understanding of revenue generation strategies (personalization, retargeting, etc.) and tactics across the customer lifecycle (onboarding, reactivation, etc.).
Strong grasp of lifecycle marketing channel best practices with a trained eye for what wins and why. Track record of building systems and playbooks with creative partners and AI tools to consistently generate high-performing assets across channels
Exceptional analytical thinker —adept at structuring and executing complex analyses to uncover insights, evaluate tradeoffs, and inform high-impact marketing decisions
Clear and persuasive communicator—able to synthesize insights into clear narratives and align stakeholders across marketing, product, data, and finance
