Build the customer journey that drives long-term growth:

We're building one of the fastest-growing direct-to-consumer healthcare brands in the country, and we're looking for someone to own one of the most important growth levers in the business: customer retention. Our customers don't stop interacting with us after their first purchase. Every message, every renewal, every product recommendation, and every touchpoint is an opportunity to build trust, increase lifetime value, and create an exceptional customer experience.

As our Manager, Retention & Lifecycle Marketing, you'll own the strategy and execution behind the customer journey from first purchase through long-term loyalty. You'll combine customer insights, compelling creative, experimentation, personalization, and automation to deliver the right message to the right customer at the right time.

This is a high cross-functional role that sits within the Creative Strategy team. You'll partner closely with Growth Marketinbg, Creative, Product, Customer Experience, Analytics, and Engineering to build best-in-class lifecycle programs that strengthen customer relationships while driving measurable business growth.

Join our team in Austin, TX or Chicago, IL - we're looking for someone who truly values and enjoys working in the office, not just tolerates it.
