Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with the Director of Email on strategy, planning, and cross-functional communication as needed
  • Design and manage always-on lifecycle journeys (welcome, onboarding, re-engagement, win-back, post-purchase, post-product engagement, points/loyalty program engagement, vertical-specific, etc.) tailored to distinct audience segments
  • Build and refine audience segmentation strategy to personalize messaging based on behavior, engagement level, lifecycle stage, and product affinity
  • Partner with content, design, product, and data/analytics teams to develop journeys that support both current product lines and upcoming launches
  • Bring genuine points, miles, and travel loyalty expertise to shape messaging that our rewards-savvy audience trusts and finds genuinely useful
  • Own performance reporting for lifecycle programs — open, click, conversion, unsubscribe, and revenue metrics — and translate insights into testing roadmaps
  • Lead A/B and multivariate testing across subject lines, send times, content, and journey logic to continuously improve engagement and growth
  • Stay current on email deliverability best practices, platform capabilities, and lifecycle marketing trends to keep our program competitive
  • Help define and track north-star metrics for audience growth, engagement, and retention

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in marketing, lifecycle/CRM, product, data analytics, or loyalty/rewards program roles, with significant depth in lifecycle/CRM/email marketing
  • Proven experience building and managing multi-touch, segmented email journeys at scale
  • Deep familiarity with major loyalty programs — airlines, hotels, and credit cards — and how loyalty mechanics (tiers, points earning/redemption, elite status) translate into effective lifecycle messaging
  • Strong passion for travel and the points/miles/loyalty world — you love maximizing redemptions, credit card perks, and benefits, and get energized helping our audience do the same
  • Strong analytical skills — comfortable owning reporting and drawing insights from data, with hands-on skills in SQL, data visualization tools (e.g., Databricks, Looker, Tableau), and CDPs/data warehouses (e.g., Higtouch, Segment, mParticle, Snowflake) to pull and shape audience data beyond the ESP
  • Statistical fluency for testing — you think in terms of significance, sample size, and test duration, and can translate results into a clear narrative that drives decisions, not just a report
  • Rigorous about attribution — strong UTM discipline and a track record of tying marketing activity to downstream revenue
  • Experience with major ESPs/marketing automation platforms (e.g., Braze, Iterable, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, HubSpot, or similar) — or comparable CRM/lifecycle systems experience and the ability to ramp quickly — with enough HTML/CSS fluency to troubleshoot rendering issues across email clients (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail) without waiting on a developer
  • A track record of using segmentation and personalization to grow engagement and revenue
  • A genuine passion for customer experience — you think about every email as part of the reader's relationship with our brand, not just a message to send

  • Life Insurance
  • Short and Long-Term Disability Insurance
  • Flexible Spending Accounts
