Job Description

Responsibilities

  • End-to-end journey architecture — Design and optimize lifecycle programs across onboarding, engagement, monetization, and retention. You’ll own everything from segmentation strategy to journey logic to creative testing and performance readouts.
  • Automation at scale — Build and evolve sophisticated, trigger-based workflows powered by behavioral data, real-time signals, and predictive inputs.
  • Revenue attribution and performance — Own how lifecycle impact is measured. Build clear attribution models, quantify incremental lift, and translate performance into actionable insights for senior leadership.
  • Experimentation and optimization — Establish a rigorous test-and-learn culture. You’ll design experiments, interpret results, and continuously improve conversion, engagement, and LTV.

Requirements

  • Proven lifecycle ownership — 6–10 years of experience owning lifecycle as a revenue-driving channel — not just executing campaigns, but building systems that scale.
  • Deep platform expertise (Iterable required) — You can design and build complex, multi-step journeys, dynamic segmentation, and event-driven triggers without relying on engineering for day-to-day execution.
  • Strong analytical mindset — You use data to make decisions — whether that’s evaluating experiment results, diagnosing funnel drop-offs, or identifying high-impact opportunities. You can translate complexity into clear, actionable insights.
  • Operator and strategist — You can zoom out to define the roadmap, and zoom in to QA a campaign. You move fluidly between strategy and execution without losing momentum.
  • Executive communication — You can clearly articulate performance, tradeoffs, and opportunities to senior stakeholders — and influence decisions without needing formal authority.
  • High ownership, low ego — You operate with urgency, prioritize what matters, and follow through. You don’t need heavy process to get things done.
