  • Assess our current email, SMS, and push setup and develop a full lifecycle roadmap covering onboarding, activation, engagement, re-engagement, and retention.

  • Design and build scalable email templates and systems that can be reused, iterated on, and improved over time.
  • Build smarter audience segments and develop more personalized messaging as our user base and data maturity grows.
  • Leverage dynamic content and event-based triggers to personalize messaging (e.g., product categories viewed, queries made, intent signals).
  • Run a disciplined testing program across subject lines, send times, messaging, sequencing, and channel mix. You make decisions with data and document what you learn.
  • Partner with product to align key moments with lifecycle triggers, and with creative to ensure everything looks and feels like Wizard.
  • 3-5 years of lifecycle, CRM, or retention marketing experience at a consumer tech company or high growth startup
  • Hands on experience with a major lifecycle or CRM platform such as Braze, Iterable, Klaviyo, or similar
  • Experience building and scaling SMS programs alongside email (compliance, deliverability, sequencing)
  • Strong instincts on messaging, sequencing, and user psychology, you understand how to move someone from curious to committed
  • You have a strong analytical mind and are comfortable pulling your own data, building reports, and letting results drive decisions
  • Strong writing skills with a high bar for both clarity and tone
  • Equity in the form of stock options
  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • 401(k) plan
  • Flexible PTO and company holidays
