Job Summary

Own and scale the lifecycle email engine across activation, onboarding, retention, monetization, and churn with cross functional alignment to product and growth.

  • Growth ownership: own automated flows and one off sends across activation, onboarding, retention, reactivation, monetization, upgrades, and education.
  • Lifecycle optimization: drive activation and stickiness by aligning campaigns to product moments and feature adoption.
  • Measurement and impact: tie email campaigns to activation, retention, LTV, churn reduction, and paid conversions.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Build and scale the full lifecycle email engine. Own campaigns across activation, onboarding, retention, reactivation, monetization, upgrade nudges, churn prevention, and product education — including both one-off sends and automated triggered flows.
  • Drive activation and stickiness through lifecycle campaigns. Create campaigns that help users reach key product moments faster, return more often, discover more features, and convert or upgrade at the right time.
  • Establish a campaign measurement framework. Define how we measure performance beyond email metrics — connecting campaigns to product outcomes like activation rate, feature adoption, retention, upgrade rate, paid conversion, LTV, and churn reduction.
  • Segment and personalize at scale. Build audience segments based on behavior, lifecycle stage, product usage, and purchase intent to ensure the right message reaches the right user at the right moment.
  • Run experiments and iterate fast. Design and execute A/B tests across subject lines, messaging, timing, and flow logic; use results to continuously improve campaign performance.
  • Write high-converting lifecycle copy. Own the copywriting for email campaigns, subject lines, and lifecycle messaging — clear, compelling, and on-brand.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally. Work with Product, Data, Design, and Growth to align campaigns with product launches, feature releases, and growth initiatives.

Requirements

  • 3–5 years of experience in email marketing, lifecycle marketing, CRM marketing, or growth marketing.
  • Proven experience owning campaigns across the full customer lifecycle — not just newsletters or one-off sends.
  • Strong experience building automated flows and triggered campaigns.
  • Deep understanding of activation, retention, monetization, and reactivation campaign strategy.
  • Ability to segment users based on behavior, lifecycle stage, product usage, and purchase intent.
  • Strong copywriting skills for email, subject lines, and lifecycle messaging.
  • Solid grasp of campaign analytics: open rate, click rate, conversion rate, revenue impact, cohort performance, and retention impact.
  • Experience with A/B testing and campaign experimentation.
  • Understanding of how lifecycle campaigns impact overall product growth, not just email performance.
  • Comfortable working cross-functionally with product, data, design, and growth teams.

Preferred

  • Experience in AI, SaaS, creative tools, prosumer products, or subscription products.
  • Experience with in-app messaging, push notifications, or web push.
  • Experience with creator, design, video, or productivity products.
  • Familiarity with Mixpanel, Amplitude, GA4, Looker, Metabase, or similar analytics tools.
  • Basic SQL or ability to work closely with data teams to pull campaign insights.
  • Experience with monetization campaigns, pricing experiments, upgrade nudges, and win-back flows.
