The mission of the CRM Manager - Contractor is to strategize and execute high-performing CRM and Lifecycle Marketing campaigns end to end, to deepen our customer relationships and prevent lapse. The work spans channel and segmentation strategies, writing copy and briefing to a designer, project management, building the campaign or journey hands-on in our ESP Iterable when needed, and reporting on results and sharing insights. Non-campaign work may include working with Analytics or Engineering to establish dashboards or data feeds into Iterable or representing the Lifecycle team in a cross-functional environment.

Requirements

5–7 years of experience in CRM or lifecycle marketing, ideally at a direct-to-consumer or subscription business, with ownership spanning strategy, creative, and hands-on execution.
Hands-on experience building and deploying campaigns in Iterable (strongly preferred) or a comparable ESP such as Klaviyo or Braze, including segmentation, templates, and QA.
Experience writing creative briefs and copy, and giving structured, actionable feedback to designers.
Comfort analyzing campaign performance data (open rate, CTR, conversion, revenue per send) and applying insights to future campaigns.
Familiarity with A/B testing methodology for messaging, creative, and send strategy.
Bachelor's degree preferred but not required; equivalent hands-on CRM/lifecycle experience will be considered in place of a degree.

Responsibilities

Develop segmentation and channel strategies for each CRM campaign assigned, translating lifecycle and business goals into clear audience definitions.
Define messaging strategy in partnership with cross-functional stakeholders, ensuring each campaign ladders up to broader lifecycle goals.
Refine segmentation logic on an ongoing basis based on campaign performance and shifts in customer lifecycle stage.
Write copy and develop creative briefs for graphic designers, translating campaign strategy into clear, actionable creative direction.
Review and critique creative deliverables against brand, messaging, and strategy goals, iterating with designers until execution meets the bar.
Manage the approval process across stakeholders, securing sign-off on copy, creative, and audience definitions before build begins.
Build and launch email and SMS campaigns and automated journeys hands-on in Iterable, including template setup, audience application, and trigger logic.
Own execution quality — rendering checks, personalization tokens, and data feed accuracy — so every send is correct and on time.
Maintain a campaign calendar that keeps strategy, creative, and build work moving in lockstep.
Track campaign performance (open rate, CTR, conversion rate, revenue per send) and translate results into recommendations for the next cycle of segmentation, messaging, or creative.
Concept and architect A/B tests on messaging, creative, and user experience, share results, and apply to future campaigns.
Work with Analytics or Engineering to establish dashboards or data feeds into Iterable.
Represent the Lifecycle team in a cross-functional environment.
