Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own and execute email and SMS marketing programs end-to-end—from strategy and segmentation through build, deployment, analysis, and iteration. This is a hands-on execution role, not a delegation role.

  • Implement robust A/B testing and optimization frameworks across lifecycle channels, with clear KPIs and cohort tracking.
  • Partner with Product, BI, and Engineering to drive data-enriched lifecycle experiences—including event-based triggers, dynamic messaging, and cross-channel orchestration.
  • Share performance results and strategic insights with leadership, developing KPIs and forecasts that align with broader marketing and business objectives.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of experience in lifecycle or retention marketing, ideally within a high-scale SaaS or subscription-based product.
  • Demonstrated fluency with AI tools (generative AI, automation platforms) to accelerate content production, personalization, and campaign operations.
  • Strong track record across email, SMS, push, and in-product messaging—with deep knowledge of modern lifecycle platforms (e.g., Listrak).
  • Analytical, AI-forward mindset with a strong bias for action and a get-it-done approach.
  • Expertise in behavioral segmentation, event-based triggers, funnel design, and customer journey automation.

Preferred
