Job Summary

Own end-to-end lifecycle campaigns across Email, Direct Mail, SMS, and Events, driving growth through personalized, data-driven strategy and measurable revenue outcomes across Acquisition, Renewal, Win-back, and cross-sell.

  • Own attribution and KPI reporting
  • Lead testing and rapid strategy pivots

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Build and execute campaign plans across Email, Direct Mail, SMS, and Events that map directly to product and growth objectives. Every channel has a purpose; nothing runs without rationale.
  • Own personalization strategy across all four channels and continuously evolve the growth plays that bring it to life. Personalization here means data-driven decisioning, not just a first-name merge field.
  • Partner with Product Marketing to keep campaign sequencing aligned to active go-to-market priorities.
  • Drive measurable outcomes across the full lifecycle: Acquisition, Renewal, Win-back, Cross-sell, Engagement, and Ad Hoc programs. Each motion has defined success metrics, and you own them.
  • Maintain a rolling prioritization view that flags capacity constraints and sequencing risks. Your team should never be surprised by what is coming.
  • Every campaign entering the queue arrives with a clear owner, defined KPI metrics, and requirements plan.
  • Own attributed revenue, transaction and quote volume, and channel-level performance reporting for all lifecycle campaigns.
  • Produce and present a weekly performance narrative grounded in business outcomes. Engagement metrics are context, not the story.
  • When performance gaps emerge, you diagnose fast and have a revised strategy in the market as quickly as possible.
  • Run at least one structured A/B test per product line per month, with clean holdout design and results that directly feed your next move.

Requirements

  • 10-15+ years of CRM lifecycle experience at enterprise scale, with direct, demonstrable revenue accountability across complex, multi-product customer bases.
  • Proven ability to build frameworks, processes, and operating rhythms for repeatable, scalable programs.
  • Deep fluency in full lifecycle architecture: acquisition funnels, renewal programs, win-back sequences, upgrade and cross-sell design.
  • Multi-channel scope: Email and Direct Mail required; SMS and Event a strong plus.
  • Strong command of audience segmentation, suppression logic, and attribute-based audience construction in a data warehouse environment.
  • SFMC or comparable enterprise ESP proficiency. Familiar with journey logic and data extension structure.
  • Proven ability to partner with Product Marketing to translate business priorities into campaign execution plans.
  • Structured A/B testing methodology with clean holdout design and results feeding strategy.
  • Data-first working style; you pull and interpret your own campaign reports.

Preferred

  • SMS and Event a strong plus
  • Claude Enterprise user preferred
  • AI-assisted workflows using LLM tools
