Job Summary

Own lifecycle strategy for retention, churn prevention, and winback across at-risk customers, coordinating with data science, product, and marketing to reduce churn and drive reactivation.

  • Define and optimize churn prevention and winback programs
  • Collaborate with Data Science and Product to align messaging and product changes

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own lifecycle strategy for retention, churn prevention, and winback—from identifying at-risk customers to designing rescue flows and reactivation programs
  • Partner with Data Science to define churn signals, build predictive and behavioral segments, and prioritize interventions based on impact and reach
  • Partner with Product to align lifecycle messaging with product changes, subscription flows, pricing transitions, and friction points that drive churn
  • Design and optimize churn prevention programs—early warning journeys, save flows, and proactive outreach for users showing disengagement or cancellation intent
  • Build and iterate winback and rescue strategies for lapsed subscribers, unfunded accounts, and dormant investors—testing offers, messaging, and channel mix
  • Assist in developing a retention measurement framework: define core metrics (churn rate, save rate, winback conversion, LTV impact), attribution windows, and reporting cadences
  • Analyze cohort behavior and lifecycle leakage to identify where customers drop off—and design targeted programs to address root causes
  • Assess the existing retention and winback portfolio: identify what's working, what's redundant, and what should be built, optimized, or sunset
  • Run rigorous A/B tests and experiments; translate results into clear strategic recommendations, not just incremental tweaks
  • Support major business moments (pricing changes, product repositioning, subscription model shifts) with retention-focused lifecycle comms for existing customers

Requirements

  • 7–10+ years of experience in lifecycle marketing, CRM, or growth marketing—with deep expertise in retention, churn prevention, or winback
  • Analytical and strategic mindset—you think in cohorts, funnels, and leakage points; you use data to define problems before designing solutions
  • Proven track record of improving retention and reactivation metrics (e.g., churn rate, save rate, winback conversion, subscription retention, LTV)
  • Experience partnering with Data Science or analytics teams to build churn models, behavioral segments, or predictive targeting—not just pulling reports
  • Experience partnering with Product to address retention through both messaging and product/UX improvements
  • Strong understanding of subscription and fintech retention dynamics—cancellation flows, payment failures, passive churn, pricing sensitivity
  • Ability to audit a complex program portfolio and make strategic calls on what to prioritize, optimize, or kill
  • Strong communication skills—you write clearly for internal partners (strategy docs, data-backed recommendations, briefs) and external audiences (customer-facing retention and winback copy)
  • Comfort operating with high autonomy in ambiguous problem spaces; you create structure and momentum without waiting for a playbook
  • Bias for action balanced with rigor—you move fast, but you validate with data

Preferred

  • Experience in fintech, investing, or subscription-based products
  • Hands-on Braze expertise
  • Familiarity with Mixpanel, Looker, Redshift, or warehouse-based analytics for cohort and churn analysis
  • Experience with promotions platforms, dynamic offers, or personalized winback incentives

Benefits

  • Comprehensive total rewards package, comprising compensation (salary and equity) and health care benefits
  • Complimentary subscription to Stash+ account
  • Hybrid Work Policy – We operate a hybrid work environment in NYC that prioritizes time together in the office to strengthen teamwork, innovation, and culture, while still allowing for work-from-home flexibility.
  • Flexible PTO
  • Work-from-home equipment stipends; home internet subsidy
  • Paid Parental Leave (offerings for birth giving and non-birth giving parents) Primary & Secondary
  • Enhanced health and wellness benefits through One Medical, Gympass, and Maven Health
