Job summary

Sequencing, the world’s largest direct-to-consumer whole genome sequencing platform, is hiring a Director of Retention. This fully remote, Series A company emphasizes autonomy, transparency, and growth as it drives subscription retention, renewal, and recurring revenue.

You will own retention metrics, lead cross-functional initiatives with product, engineering, growth, and finance, and design experiments to reduce churn and grow LTV.

Qualifications

• Strong product fundamentals: clear specs, prioritized roadmap, delivery with engineering and design, and experiments you design, read and act on.

Responsibilities

• Set the retention strategy: targets for subscription retention, renewal and recurring revenue, and a plan that separates levers that pay back in 90 days from ones that compound over 12 months.
• Own the retention metrics: cohort retention, trial-to-paid conversion, voluntary and involuntary churn, MRR and LTV, reported monthly to leadership with a holdout-based read.
• Find out why members leave, from cohort and payment data to cancel reasons and support tickets, and turn it into fixes that start from the member’s problem.
