Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Design nurture and activation programs that respond to fit, persona, segment, product interest, engagement, intent, and sales status rather than relying on one generic journey.

  • Work closely with the Lifecycle Marketing Manager to translate strategy into clear program requirements, content needs, build plans, QA standards, and launch sequencing.
  • Own the lifecycle experimentation agenda across segmentation, messaging, cadence, content, channel, triggers, and CTAs, using results to continuously improve journeys.
  • Develop the measurement framework across reachable audience, engagement quality, progression, conversion, velocity, pipeline, adoption, retention, and incremental impact.
  • Improve database health and addressability by partnering on acquisition quality, enrichment, consent, deliverability, governance, and audience hygiene.
  • Build durable lifecycle playbooks and governance that balance personalization, operational simplicity, customer trust, and scalable execution.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in B2B lifecycle, CRM, retention, growth, or marketing automation, with ownership of complex, multi-stage customer journeys.

Preferred

  • Marketo and Salesforce experience is valuable, though strong equivalent experience welcome.
