We're looking for a strategic, highly analytical lifecycle leader who can connect customer behavior to business performance and build an integrated strategy across onsite capture and list growth, email, SMS, direct mail, loyalty, and other owned channels

Core Responsibilities

CRM, Direct Mail & Owned Channels

• Set the strategy across email, SMS, direct mail, and emerging owned channels, defining the role each plays throughout the customer journey focused on increasing customer lifetime value (LTV), repeat purchase rate, and customer loyalty and advocacy
• Own onsite capture and list growth strategy across email, SMS, and other owned audiences, including pop-ups, forms, landing experiences, incentives, and emerging capture opportunities.
• Build sophisticated segmentation and personalization strategies based on customer behavior, purchase history, lifecycle stage, product affinity, engagement, and value.
• Establish a rigorous testing and experimentation roadmap across capture experiences, audiences, journeys, creative, messaging, offers, and frequency, balancing list growth and conversion with long-term customer value.
• Develop and scale direct mail as a lifecycle channel, including audience strategy, testing, incrementality, and ROI measurement.
• Guide messaging frameworks that strengthen emotional connection, product education, community engagement, and brand loyalty

Customer Economics

• Partner with BizOps to understand customer progression, develop meaningful cohorts, identify where customers fall out of the lifecycle, and uncover the behaviors and interventions that drive greater customer value.
• Establish lifecycle KPIs and measurement frameworks that distinguish overall business growth from the incremental impact of lifecycle initiatives.

• Partner with Finance and BizOps on forecasting and measuring the financial contribution of retention initiatives.

Loyalty, Reviews, and Advocacy

• Partner with Brand and Creative to design member-first activations around launches, drops, retail openings, and cultural moments, including VIP access, exclusive offerings, and experiential retention initiatives.

Cross-Functional & Team Leadership

• Serve as the senior lifecycle partner across the business, working closely with Brand, Creative, Ecommerce, Paid Media, Merchandising, CX, Finance, and Bizops.
• Partner with Paid Media to understand downstream customer quality and LTV by channel, audience, offer, and cohort, and bring those insights into acquisition decisions.
• Build and coach a high-performing team of lifecycle strategists and lifecycle technical operations to deliver against the forward-looking needs of the business
• Establish clear ownership, goals, operating rhythms, and accountability while empowering the team to own day-to-day execution.
• Own lifecycle budgets, agencies, technology partners, contracts, forecasting, and investment decisions, including the CRM and loyalty tech stack.
• Proactively identify opportunities, risks, and recommendations within the lifecycle ecosystem.
