ELEMIS•New York, NY

16h•$85,000 - $95,000•Hybrid

About The Position

ELEMIS is seeking a strategic yet hands-on Manager, Customer Journey (CRM) to strengthen and scale our customer lifecycle and retention programs. In this role, you will manage day-to-day CRM execution across email and SMS while contributing to broader lifecycle strategy. You’ll leverage data to deliver personalization, optimize engagement, and support initiatives that grow customer lifetime value. As CRM Manager, you will act as the channel lead — owning campaign execution, segmentation, and testing — while partnering with the Director, VP of Digital Channels, and Global CRM teams to ensure U.S. needs are represented in global planning. You’ll also deliver insights that help connect CRM with site experience, driving both revenue and long-term retention.

Requirements

Lifecycle and retention strategy: The ability to design customer journeys across acquisition, onboarding, engagement, repeat purchase, loyalty, win-back, and churn prevention—connecting each stage to revenue and customer lifetime value (CLV).
CRM campaign and channel management: The ability to plan, execute, and govern email and SMS programmes reliably, including campaign calendars, automated journeys, QA, consent, deliverability, list health, and operational best practices.
Customer analytics and commercial insight: The ability to define CRM KPIs, build useful dashboards, forecast channel performance, and turn customer data into recommendations for promotions, merchandising, e-commerce conversion, and budget decisions. This includes understanding retention, churn, cohort behaviour, LTV, engagement, and incremental revenue.
Segmentation and personalisation: The ability to use customer attributes, behaviours, purchase history, engagement signals, and lifecycle stage to deliver relevant messages, offers, timing, and experiences to distinct audiences. Effective segmentation supports engagement, deliverability, and commercial performance.
Experimentation and optimisation: The ability to create a structured testing programme across creative, offers, audiences, cadence, timing, and journeys. This includes forming hypotheses, selecting meaningful success metrics, using control groups where appropriate, and applying results to future activity. Testing should connect to outcomes such as conversion, retention, and revenue—not only opens and clicks.
Cross-functional leadership and influence: The ability to align global and U.S. stakeholders, influence senior leaders with clear recommendations, integrate CRM across e-commerce, digital marketing, brand, and customer service, and develop junior team members.

Partner with the U.S. Director and Global Head of CRM to shape and execute lifecycle and retention initiatives that support revenue and CLV growth.
