About Dentalkart

Dentalkart is India's leadingonline dental marketplace. We supply the dentists, clinics, and labs that runthe country's oral healthcare, from single-chair practices to multi-clinicgroups, alongside a fast-growing base of everyday consumers. Waldent, our ownbrand, sits inside the catalog. Because dental practices reorder on apredictable cycle, the right merchandising, retention, and category decisionscompound month after month. We are building a new, owner-led marketingstructure, and this is one of five leadership seats in it.

Why this role exists

Dental practices reorder on acycle, which makes retention the economic engine of this business, notacquisition. You own the second purchase, the tenth purchase, and everythingthat keeps a customer buying. This seat exists because lifetime value is wherethe margin lives, and it has been under-owned until now.

What you own

• Customer lifetime value and the LTV-to-CAC ratio
• Repeat purchase rate and retention across cohorts
• The full customer journey and the lifecyclecommunication behind it: onboarding, replenishment, reactivation, win-back
• Nudges that recover customers dropping at any funnelstage, in-app and across channels

What you will do

• Build lifecycle journeys in MoEngage across email(Kasplo), WhatsApp and RCS (Onextel), SMS (Gupshup), and push, mapped to whereeach customer sits in their buying cycle
• Segment customers (RFM, category, practice type, B2Bversus consumer) and run targeted retention and replenishment programmes
• Locate the funnel drop-off points and deploy nudgesthat recover them, measured by recovered revenue
• Build and own a reactivation and win-back engine forlapsed buyers
• Stand up the retention metric stack (cohort retention,repeat rate, lifetime value, LTV-to-CAC) so the whole org reads the samenumbers
• Partner with Merchandising on in-session nudges andwith Category on replenishment and offer logic

How you will be measured

• Repeat purchase rate and cohort retention curves
• Lifetime value and LTV-to-CAC
• Recovered revenue from funnel-drop nudges and win-back
• Lifecycle channel performance measured to revenue, notopens alone

What good looks like in your first 6 to 12months

• By month 6, a measurable and defensible lift in repeatpurchase rate, or in revenue recovered from funnel drop-offs and win-back,against the baseline you set early
• The core lifecycle journeys (onboarding, replenishment,win-back) live, attributed, and contributing revenue the business can see andplan against
• Lifetime value and LTV-to-CAC visible at cohort leveland moving in the right direction, with a retention metric stack the restofthe org trusts enough to plan against

Must-haves

• MBA or PGDM from a Tier-1 institute (IIM, ISB, XLRI,FMS, MDI, SPJIMR, IIFT or equivalent)
• 7+ years in retention, CRM, or lifecycle marketing foran e-commerce, subscription, or platform business
• Hands-on experience with a CRM or engagement platform(MoEngage, CleverTap, WebEngage, Braze or similar) and multi-channelorchestration
• Strong command of cohort analysis, segmentation,lifetime value, and retention economics
• Evidence of moving repeat rate, retention, or lifetimevalue, shown with numbers

Preferred

• Experience in a reorder or replenishment-drivencategory
• B2B and consumer lifecycle experience in the same role

This role is for you if

You believe the second ordermatters more than the first, and you can turn a CRM platform into a revenueengine rather than a newsletter scheduler. It is not for you if you treatretention as campaign-blasting rather than journey design tied to lifetimevalue.
