Full Job Description
ROLE & RESPONSIBILITIES
What You'll Do
  • Own subscriber retention analytics: build and maintain cohort retention reporting (rebill rates, skip/pause rebill behavior, LTV by cohort, churn drivers) and translate patterns directly into program priorities
  • Conduct root-cause churn analysis across structured and free-text cancellation data to identify segment-level drivers and quantify their impact on churn and revenue
  • Build and maintain the subscriber journey map, identifying key intervention points from trial through long-term retention and anchoring each to where the data shows subscribers actually churn
  • Design, test, and optimize proactive save programs: identify at-risk subscribers before they cancel and execute targeted, personalized interventions
  • Design and optimize cancellation flows, including deflection offers, pause options, and retention messaging, to reduce voluntary churn
  • Own win-back strategy and execution for recently churned subscribers, including sequencing, offer structure, and rigorous testing of what actually converts
  • Lead and develop the Retention Analyst, setting analytical priorities and ensuring findings translate into specific, testable program decisions
  • Partner with Marketing, Product, and Analytics on retention-driven campaigns, subscription management features, and cancellation experience improvements
  • Report retention program performance to the VP on a regular cadence, including cohort trends, program ROI, churn impact, and win-back conversion rates
  • Run structured A/B tests to validate retention interventions before scaling them
  • Stay current on DTC subscription retention benchmarks and analytics practices to continuously improve RYZE's approach
  • Additional duties as assigned by management.

WHAT WE OFFER
What We're Looking For

Required:
  • 4+ years of experience in retention analytics, subscriber lifecycle management, or CX retention program management within a DTC subscription or physical-product recurring-revenue business
  • A demonstrated, quantifiable track record of reducing churn or improving retention and LTV in a subscription business, with the ability to speak specifically to the metrics moved and how
  • Hands-on proficiency in cohort analysis, LTV modeling, and subscriber segmentation using SQL and/or BI tools (e.g., Sigma, Looker, Amplitude); this is a skill the person applies directly, not one delegated entirely to a direct report
  • Experience building or maintaining subscriber or customer journey maps and using them to identify intervention points
  • Experience designing and owning cancellation flows, save programs, and win-back sequences, including offer testing and conversion optimization
  • Experience leading or partnering closely with an analytics function, working directly from data to build programs rather than only receiving reports
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills with Marketing, Product, and Analytics teams
  • Excellent written communication skills, with experience writing or reviewing retention-focused member communications

Preferred:
  • Background in health, wellness, food/beverage, or other physical-goods subscription brands (as distinct from SaaS retention)
  • Experience managing a direct report or analyst, including setting analytical direction and translating outputs into program decisions
  • Familiarity with churn prediction or other predictive modeling approaches applied to subscriber behavior
  • Experience with Recharge, Klaviyo, Zendesk, Sigma, or similar subscription and CRM/analytics platforms
  • Experience building win-back and lapsed subscriber reactivation programs at scale


What We Offer
  • Competitive base salary commensurate with experience
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid time off and company holidays
  • Remote-first work environment with flexible scheduling
