[Hiring] Senior Manager, Lifecycle Marketing @The Credit Pros

Role Description

We are hiring a Senior Manager, Lifecycle Marketing to own retention and customer lifetime value end-to-end. This is not a traditional lifecycle role. You are not joining a team—you are the function. We’re looking for a forward-deployed operator: someone who takes fragmented systems, imposes structure, and drives measurable outcomes. You will own everything post-enrollment—from onboarding through churn prevention, winback, and monetization—and will be accountable for improving retention and LTV.

If your instinct is to ask “what’s the fastest way to move this number?” rather than “is this in my scope?”, this role is for you.

What You’ll Own

• Retention & Lifecycle Strategy
  • End-to-end lifecycle across email, SMS, and customer education
  • Day 0 onboarding and expectation setting
  • Early churn prevention (Day 7, Day 14)
  • Mid-lifecycle churn intervention (especially Months 3–4)
  • Continuous optimization of retention and LTV
• Execution (Hands-On)
  • Build and manage flows in Customer.io
  • Write customer-facing copy and educational content
  • Design and launch triggered journeys based on behavior and real-time data
  • Troubleshoot and fix issues without relying on a large team
• Deliverability
  • Own sender reputation, IP warming, and domain health
  • Manage vendor relationships (e.g., Inbox Army)
  • Maintain list hygiene, bounce rates, and spam compliance
• Revenue Expansion
  • Launch and scale winback campaigns (600K+ database)
  • Rebuild third-party offer monetization program
  • Own lifecycle for new CARE subscription product
• Data & Reporting
  • Define lifecycle KPIs (retention, LTV, recovery rates)
  • Build reporting cadence with BI (ThoughtSpot/Snowflake)
  • Analyze cohort performance and identify intervention points

What You’ll Influence

• Product and pricing decisions (based on churn insights)
• Customer service save strategies and scripts
• Credit data trigger development with engineering
• Lifecycle analytics and dashboard design

What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)

• Consolidated all lifecycle ownership under one function
• Stabilized or improved deliverability
• Launched early-stage churn prevention (Day 0–14)
• Deployed M3–M4 churn interventions
• Improved auto-dunning performance
• Established weekly lifecycle reporting
• Launched a winback pilot campaign
• Delivered a roadmap tied to measurable revenue impact

Qualifications

• 7+ years in lifecycle, retention, or CRM marketing in B2C subscription businesses
• Proven experience managing high-volume email/SMS programs (5M–10M+ sends/month)
• Hands-on expertise with ESPs (Customer.io, Braze, Iterable, Klaviyo, etc.)
• Experience owning lifecycle as a single operator, not just part of a team
• Strong analytical skills—you pull and act on your own data
• Demonstrated success reducing early-stage churn (first 90–120 days)

Strongly Preferred

• Experience in fintech, financial services, health, telecom, or similar industries
• Experience with event-triggered messaging (not just time-based drips)
• Winback/reactivation experience with large datasets (100K+ users)
• Strong writing ability (or effective use of AI tools for content creation)

How You Work

• You think in systems and journeys, not campaigns
• You measure success in retention, LTV, and revenue, not opens and clicks

• You move quickly from insight → execution → iteration
