Job description

Remote role – ideally based in NYC or CA.

We’re looking for a hands-on operator to take full ownership of our retention and lifecycle marketing engine across email, SMS, and subscription products. You’ll start by auditing everything — no stone left unturned — and then either optimize it or rebuild it from the ground up to drive revenue, repeat purchase rate, LTV/CAC ratio, and subscriber retention.

You’ll be responsible for creating and executing performance-driven campaigns, setting up
high-converting automations, improving CAC payback periods, and helping us increase the % of revenue driven from owned channels.

You’ll also partner with the acquisition team to design post-click funnels that maximize every paid lead and work closely with our data team to ensure clean, mapped customer journeys from first click to final dollar. This is not a “manage the agency” role — you’ll be rolling up your sleeves and driving the outcomes..

What You’ll Own:

  • Full-funnel retention and lifecycle strategy for all our product lines
  • All email & SMS automations, flows, campaigns, segmentation, and deliverability
  • Customer onboarding, post-purchase, cross-sell/upsell, winback, and churn-reduction journeys
  • Conversion-optimized landing pages and funnel architecture in partnership with acquisition
  • Retention analytics & attribution — e.g., what flows, campaigns, and product types drive actual repeat revenue
  • LTV modeling, MRR reporting, cohort views, and CAC payback improvement
  • Copy, offer, and experience testing — from subject lines to multi-step funnels
  • Retention experimentation roadmap, backlog prioritization, test velocity and outcome tracking
  • Lifecycle tech stack ownership, vendor evaluation, performance improvement
  • Data cleanliness and tracking — work closely with data engineering to ensure full-funnel clarity
  • Leveraging AI tools and automation to increase workflow efficiency, accelerate testing cycles, and identify revenue-driving insights
  • Improving and optimizing quiz-based lead funnels — ensuring segmentation, personalization, and lifecycle logic are tightly integrated to convert and retain customers effectively.

Your success will be measured by how these metrics improve:

  • Email/SMS Revenue %
  • LTV/CAC
  • Returning Customer Revenue
  • Subscriber Retention
  • MRR Growth

You’re Likely a Fit If You…

  • Are a hands-on executor, not just a strategist or manager
  • Have strong experience in DTC retention marketing (email, SMS, subscriptions) — ideally in health, beauty, or wellness
  • Obsess over performance metrics: LTV, CAC, MRR, CVR, cohort LTV/CAC
  • Have built from scratch (or rebuild/optimized) retention systems before — and can speak clearly to what worked
  • Can identify system gaps fast, and drive solutions without needing step-by-step guidance
  • Love partnering with paid acquisition, data, and product to drive better funnel performance
  • Use AI as a multiplier — not a gimmick — and implement it into your workflow to drive smarter testing, creative, and insights
  • Think in systems: flows, loops, attribution, journeys
  • Want to be held accountable to impact, not output
  • Write clearly, think critically, and default to action over endless planning

What This Role Is Not:

  • A “director” in title only. You’ll be doing the work.
  • A content-only lifecycle marketer. You’ll work on revenue-driving retention, not just brand comms.
  • A job where you wait for briefs. You’ll create the briefs, run the tests, and report on results.

Tools You’ll Use

  • Klaviyo, Postscript
  • Skio, Recharge, Loop
  • Google Sheets, Looker, Northbeam
  • Shopify, GA4
