Job Summary

Own Fellows messaging and lifecycle marketing across Circle and Klaviyo, diagnose and re-engage quiet members, lead end-to-end event communications, and ensure consistent voice while measuring impact.

  • Channel ownership and audience engagement
  • Re-engagement and cohort-based outreach
  • Event marketing, post-event follow-through, and analytics

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Owning the Channels: You own Fellows primary messaging in their online Circle community and Klaviyo — templates, segmentation, automated workflows, list hygiene, and deliverability. You manage the shared Fellows inbox and inbound ticketing in Monday Service. You extend into additional channels when there’s a clear rationale: social, print, calendar outreach. Every channel has a strategy behind it and every send has a purpose.
  • This role sends but it’s also deeply diagnostic. When a founder who was once active goes quiet, you don’t just nudge her - you get curious. You partner with the Senior Manager of Community to study her cohort, her stage, her patterns, and then you find the right message, the right moment, and the right tone to pull her back in.
  • Marketing the Moments: When our annual Fellows gathering (called Founders Circle), a regional dinner, or virtual programming is on the horizon, you lead communications front to back — save-the-dates, registration campaigns, waitlist management, and audience-specific messaging. You own attendance targets, adjust mid-campaign when pacing is off, and manage the post-event arc that converts gathering energy into sustained participation.
  • Holding the Voice: Every message that reaches a Fellow clears your desk. You partner with Marketing on voice and creative so Fellow communications feel connected to the broader Foundation brand. Additionally, not every message is a celebration — some days you’ll draft program changes or declined applications that require clarity and care in equal measure.
  • Measuring What Matters: You’ll define and report the metrics that matter (reach, engagement, reactivation rate, survey completion, and event attendance) and build a reporting rhythm for the Experience team. You’ll run a consistent testing practice, document what you learn, and bring data-backed recommendations when communications reveal something about the community itself. This is a role for someone who believes that how you say something is inseparable from what you’re saying and who finds real meaning in making sure every Fellow hears from us with intention.

Requirements

  • 4–6 years in communications, lifecycle or CRM marketing, member engagement, or a closely related field
  • Demonstrated ownership of a retention or re-engagement program with results you can describe in specifics
  • Hands-on experience with a marketing automation or CRM platform (Klaviyo preferred; HubSpot, Braze, Iterable, or Salesforce Marketing Cloud considered)
  • Fluency with segmentation, audience data, and campaign reporting
  • Excellent writing and editing, with the discipline to write within an established voice rather than around it
  • Hands-on event marketing experience including registration campaigns, attendee communications, or audience building
  • Track record managing a communications calendar across multiple internal stakeholders, including telling colleagues when something will not go out
  • Strong project management
  • Familiarity with community platforms (Circle, Mighty Networks, Discourse) and event technology (Swoogo or similar)

Benefits

  • We offer a generous set of benefits to help you take care of your health, create financial security, and achieve wellness in all areas of your life.
  • Here are highlights of key benefits available to all eligible Tory Burch team members.
  • You’ll have a generous employee discount and access to exclusive sample sales.
  • We also offer access to free executive coaching on-demand.
  • Paid volunteer days are available through the Tory Burch Foundation and other programs.

Tory Burch

Tory Burch is an American luxury lifestyle brand founded in New York in 2004. What began with a boutique in Manhattan and an e-commerce site has since grown into a global business with 400 stores across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, Asia and Australia. In addition, the brand is available at more than 3,000 department and specialty stores worldwide. Tory Burch started her company with a clear purpose: to build a global luxury brand and a foundation that would advance women’s economic power. Designed in her New York atelier, the collection includes ready-to-wear, handbags, shoes, accessories, beauty and home. The Foundation was established in 2009 to provide women entrepreneurs in the United States with access to capital, education and community. Tory has been recognized with numerous awards and honors, including the CFDA for Accessory Designer of the Year, WWD Women’s Designer of the Year, Harper’s Bazaar’s Designer of the Year, the Parsons School of Design’s Table Award, the Wharton School’s Jay H. Baker Retailing Center’s Retail Excellence Award, the SCAD Étoile Award, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s Sandra Taub Humanitarian Award, Forbes’s Most Powerful Women in the World, and Glamour’s Women of the Year. Her first book, Tory Burch In Color (Abrams, 2014), was a New York Times Best Seller, and her designs have been featured in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.
