FoundersCard is hiring a Director, Member Experience & Lifecycle Marketing to own our members' experience from the moment they join through every renewal. This is a hands-on retention and lifecycle marketing role for someone who is obsessed with member feedback, catches churn risk before it happens, and builds the campaigns and cross-functional fixes that turn insight into renewals. This role is based in our Spring/Houston office.
This is an in-office role requiring 4-days a week at the Spring, Texas office*
What You'll Own- Own the strategy, build, and execution of lifecycle and email marketing programs-including nurture streams, triggered/behavioral campaigns, onboarding sequences, and customer lifecycle communications-aligned to engagement and pipeline goals.
- Build and operate a retention early-warning system, using behavioral signals like login frequency, benefit redemption, and support sentiment to flag at-risk members before they consider canceling.
- Personalize retention interventions based on past member behavior, location, and other available data rather than one-size-fits-all outreach.
- Own the voice-of-member feedback loop-NPS/CSAT, and themes from support conversations-and act as the internal advocate pushing that feedback into product, benefits, and partnership decisions.
- Partner closely with Member Support, the team talking to members daily and surfacing risk and friction signals first.
- Track benefit-level performance and friction, identifying which benefits drive renewal versus which generate disproportionate complaints, and work with Partnerships to fix, improve, or retire underperforming ones.
- Personally build, configure, and analyze lifecycle email marketing workflows-renewal sequences, at-risk saves, and re-engagement campaigns-from strategy through execution.
- Use AI tools to work more efficiently, from speeding up analysis to accelerating campaign and creative production.
What Success Looks LikeYou'll build a member experience that measurably reduces churn, with:
- A churn-risk model that flags at-risk members early enough to act, with a growing save rate on outreach.
- Rising NPS/CSAT scores and a consistent flow of member feedback that gets acted on.
- Clear visibility into which benefits drive renewal versus friction, and a track record of fixing or retiring the ones that don't.
- Faster time-to-first-value in onboarding, so new members see the value of membership sooner.
- A tight, trusted partnership with Member Support that catches risk earlier.
What You Bring- 7+ years in retention, member/customer experience, or lifecycle marketing, ideally at a membership, subscription, or loyalty-driven business
- Hands-on email marketing expertise is required - proven experience personally building, deploying, and analyzing automated email/lifecycle workflows, not just directing an agency or team
- HubSpot experience is a strong plus
- Comfort working cross-functionally with Support, Partnerships, and Product
- Experience building or operating a churn-risk or member health-scoring framework
- Proven track record preventing or positively impacting churn by implementing data-driven retention processes and strategies - personalizing interventions based on past member behavior, location, and other available data rather than one-size-fits-all outreach
- Fluency with AI tools to work efficiently - using them to speed up analysis, draft and test campaigns faster, and generate or refine design/creative assets
- A genuine obsession with the member's experience - someone who treats every piece of feedback as actionable data, not noise
