Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own and execute lifecycle marketing strategies that increase donor lifetime value (LTV) and reduce churn
  • Design personalized donor journeys that build long-term relationships through relevant, high-value content rather than high-frequency mass communications
  • Develop segmentation strategies based on supporter behavior, interests, engagement history, and giving patterns.
  • Continuously test and optimize lifecycle campaigns to improve retention, engagement, and repeat giving.
  • Architect and manage advanced HubSpot lifecycle workflows, including multi-branch and behavior-triggered journeys
  • Design dynamic “choose your own adventure” automation flows where user behavior (e.g., clicks, issue interests, donation history) triggers tailored next steps
  • Implement personalization using dynamic content blocks, behavioral triggers, and automated segmentation
  • Ensure lifecycle workflows are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with overall growth objectives
  • Partner closely with the data team to transform user data into compelling narratives and personalized communications
  • Use behavioral segmentation to automatically deliver relevant content—for example, ensuring a climate focused donor receives climate-specific recommendations
  • Pivot strategy based on key engagement metrics such as open rate, click-through rate, repeat donation rate, and churn
  • Champion a privacy-first, trust-centered communication approach
  • Prioritize deliverability, sender reputation, and long-term growth
  • Develop lifecycle messaging that reduces “urgency fatigue” and focuses on value-driven engagement
  • Ensure communications are transparent, relevant, and aligned with supporter expectations

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in Lifecycle Marketing, Retention Marketing, CRM Marketing, and/or Growth Marketing.
  • Advanced experience with HubSpot, particularly workflow automation, behavioral segmentation, and dynamic content
  • Experience building multi-branch, behavior-triggered automation journeys
  • Demonstrated success increasing customer or donor lifetime value (LTV) and reducing churn
  • Strong experience building lifecycle programs focused on relationship-building rather than high-volume email blasts
  • Experience designing and executing complex marketing automation workflows
  • Strong analytical mindset with the ability to translate behavioral data into actionable lifecycle strategies
  • Excellent written communication and storytelling skills

Preferred

  • Experience working with political, nonprofit, advocacy, or other mission-driven organizations
  • Familiarity with email deliverability best practices and sender reputation management
