• Grow the loyalty program: Serve as the marketing team's point person for the loyalty program, partnering cross-functionally to grow enrollment, increase engagement with rewards, and identify new ways to make the program a retention driver.
• Test and optimize: Run A/B tests on digital communications and use results to continuously improve.
• Report on performance: Track and report on key lifecycle metrics and translate results into recommendations.
• Maintain list health and compliance: Ensure sending practices, opt-in/opt-out processes, and messaging comply with applicable regulations (including cannabis-industry-specific advertising restrictions) and platform/carrier best practices.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: Partner with the digital, brand/creative, and retail teams to align lifecycle campaigns with broader marketing calendars, promotions, and store-level priorities.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
