Position Responsibilities:

Lifecycle & Membership Programs

• Develop the email and SMS lifecycle roadmap that connects new guests to members and members to long-term loyalty across all five brands, aligned to the direction set by the VP.
• Own retention and second-visit performance for the program by tracking results, identifying opportunities, and driving improvements through email and SMS.
• Partner with brand directors and Operations on membership journeys so programs are executable at the studio level.
• Define national and franchisee roles in CRM, including who owns messaging, offers, and local execution, and drive adoption with franchisee and field stakeholders.
• Partner with the Customer Strategy team on segmentation and translate it into journeys that can be built and measured.

Journey Ownership & Optimization

• Own the design and roadmap for email and SMS journeys across all five brands (for example welcome series, rebooking reminders, and at-risk and win-back journeys), in support of the VP's lifecycle strategy.
• Define triggers, audiences, suppression rules, and messaging logic so journeys work together and do not conflict with promotions or local campaigns.
• Run a test-and-learn program by forming hypotheses, designing tests within the roadmap (A/B tests, holdout groups, and control groups), and turning results into the next round of tests.
• Audit active journeys on a regular cadence and prioritize improvements by their impact on retention, second visits, and revenue.

Measurement, Data & Technology

• Make sure every major program has a measurement plan before launch, with GA4 tagging and tracking standards that tie results to bookings.
• Own deliverability and list health, including sender reputation, engagement, suppression, and list hygiene.

• Define data feed and integration requirements for technology teams, and hold delivery to those requirements.

Communication & Governance

• Present results, insights, and recommendations to leadership and franchise stakeholders.
• Ensure email and SMS practices follow consent, opt-in, and privacy requirements (TCPA, CAN-SPAM, and state privacy laws).
• Partner with brand, operations, technology, and legal teams so programs are executable and compliant.
• Manage platform and vendor relationships in partnership with the VP.
• Maintain SOPs, QA checklists, and training guides so the program never depends on one person.

• Proven track record in lifecycle strategy and retention, including repeat-visit, second-visit, and win-back programs.
• Hands‑on experience with Iterable or a comparable marketing automation platform (for example, Braze or Salesforce Marketing Cloud), including journey builds, segmentation, and testing.
• Experience designing and managing A/B tests, holdout groups, and structured experimentation programs, with a test‑and‑learn mindset.

• Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to turn complex data into clear recommendations, maintain distinct brand voices, and influence without authority across brand, operations, finance, legal, and technology teams.

Technical Skills

• Strong analytical skills, including SQL and BI tools (for example, Power BI), GA4 tagging and measurement, and the ability to connect results to business outcomes.
• Strong working knowledge of email and SMS compliance, including consent, opt‑in, carrier registration, short codes, and state privacy requirements.
• Preferred: Working knowledge of deliverability and list health best practices.
• Preferred: Technical acumen with data feeds and integrations, and the ability to specify requirements and challenge technical recommendations with data.
