We're looking for a Senior Lifecycle Marketing Manager to own the lifecycle work behind these partnerships, from journey architecture and segmentation through creative strategy and reporting.

Responsibilities

• Own the work, whatever form it takes: Some partnerships need full journey builds in Iterable, others need lifecycle strategy, recommendations, and creative mocks the partner's team executes. Either way, the goal is the same: real value for the consumer on the other end, not just another email.
• Create repeatable journey templates, creative frameworks, and QA checklists that let new and existing partnerships scale without starting from scratch each time.
• Partner with CS (and Business Intelligence, as needed) to set up KPI reporting, translate partner commitments into executable recommendations, and flag risks before they become partner-facing problems.
• Run multi-variable tests with proper holdout groups where you own execution, and when something breaks (a deliverability issue, sudden CVR drop, unexplained churn), form a hypothesis and test a fix fast.
• Create KPI dashboards and tracking accurate enough that stakeholders trust them at a glance, not just ones that exist.
• Lead workstreams for partner launches, journey builds, and creative refreshes with clear milestones and ownership.
• Communicate up and across: Present partner insights and recommendations to the Director, Customer Success, and cross-functional partners, connecting performance to business outcomes, not just metrics.
• Use AI as a real part of your workflow: Drafting, reporting, hypothesis generation, briefs, whatever accelerates the work, and know where it doesn't replace judgment.

Requirements

• Lifecycle channel expertise: 4–7 years owning lifecycle marketing campaigns with direct accountability for performance across email, push, or SMS.
• Enterprise-level ESP experience: Hands-on in a major enterprise-grade ESP (Iterable, Braze, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Responsys, or similar), comfortable in complex, high-stakes sending environments without engineering support.
• Builder mentality: You enjoy creating net-new systems from scratch. There's no playbook or reporting baseline here yet, and you'll help define both.
• Analytical and creative range: You design sound experiments, catch discrepancies in platform data, write strong briefs, and know what's driving a performance change at the copy or format level.
• Structured and clear: You manage multiple partner workstreams without dropping details, and you can distill a complex performance story into a crisp recommendation for a senior leader or a partner team.
• High ownership: You hold yourself accountable to outcomes, follow through, and don't wait to be asked.
