[Hiring] Director, Lifecycle & Customer Journey @Housecall Pro

Role Description

As a Director, Lifecycle & Customer Journey, you are the lead architect of the Pro lifecycle, from initial brand encounter through enrollment, onboarding, and long-term retention. You lead your team to effectively deliver customer and business value by orchestrating a coordinated, AI-powered omni-channel approach. You are a strategic driver of transformation, moving beyond yesterday’s playbooks to build an "always-on" layer of intelligence that gets smarter with every customer interaction. You coach and develop the careers of your direct reports as they hone their craft in lifecycle strategy and automation. You collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Onboarding, and Customer Success to break down silos, reduce friction, and maximize Pro lifetime value. You lead by influence, bringing clarity to ambiguity and ensuring that every touchpoint—from a Sales handoff to a churn signal—is met with a personalized, high-impact experience.

• Systems thinker who can bring momentum to complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives
• High level of ownership and an obsession with finding friction-less solutions for our Pros
