Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own the retention strategy across your client portfolio - flows, campaigns, segmentation, SMS, and lifecycle health
  • Use data to identify the highest-leverage opportunities in each account and build a clear plan to capture them
  • Brief and direct your pod (email specialist + designer) so execution runs without you being in the weeds
  • Lead client relationships - monthly reporting, strategy presentations, and hard conversations when performance dips
  • Think beyond in-platform metrics - connect your work to LTV, repeat purchase rate, CAC payback, and contribution margin
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with paid social and Google pods on multi-channel clients
  • Stay ahead of platform changes, emerging tools, and what's working across the DTC retention space
  • - 2+ years of hands-on Klaviyo experience managing DTC eCommerce accounts - flows, campaigns, segmentation, and deliverability
  • - Proven track record of driving measurable retention results for real brands - you speak in outcomes, not activities
  • - Strong commercial instinct - you think in revenue and profit, not just open rates and click-throughs

Requirements

  • 2+ years of hands-on Klaviyo experience managing DTC eCommerce accounts - flows, campaigns, segmentation, and deliverability
  • Proven track record of driving measurable retention results for real brands - you speak in outcomes, not activities
  • Strong commercial instinct - you think in revenue and profit, not just open rates and click-throughs
  • Client-facing experience - you're comfortable owning the relationship, presenting strategy, and navigating difficult conversations
  • Experience managing or directing a small team or pod
  • Strong project management skills - you stay ahead of deadlines and don't wait to be chased
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Base salary $75,000–$95,000 depending on experience
  • A dedicated execution pod so you can stay focused on strategy
  • A skilled role in lifecycle strategy for a portfolio of 6-8 DTC brands

Preferred

  • Familiarity with analytics tools beyond Klaviyo - Hiro Analytics, Triple Whale, or similar is a bonus
  • SMS experience via Klaviyo or Postscript is a strong plus

Benefits

  • A culture built on Kaizen, openness and candor, and genuine client-first thinking
  • Real upward mobility - we promote from within and are actively building this department
  • Monthly training and account reviews with top DTC marketers and retention practitioners
  • A tight-knit team of eCommerce marketers and entrepreneurs - many of whom have owned, run, and exited their own ventures
  • Access to industry-leading tools including Klaviyo, Hiro Analytics, Maverick, Alia, and PostPilot
