About The Position

At Just Ingredients – a health and wellness e-commerce company – we believe that nourishing your body with real ingredients is essential for living a healthy and fulfilling life. That's why our products are made using carefully selected, whole-food ingredients. And our people are just as real as our ingredients – authentic, collaborative, and dedicated to fostering a workplace that inspires individuals and teams to reach their full potential. This role sits within the Marketing team and reports to the Director of Growth Marketing. You'll work closely with Creative, Product Development, and Customer Experience to ensure retention and loyalty strategy is grounded in product knowledge, customer signals, and business performance — not just campaign execution. We're looking for a Retention & Loyalty Marketing Manager to own the strategy and day-to-day management of our customer retention and loyalty programs. This is a highly cross-functional, data-driven role that bridges strategy and execution — from campaign calendars to performance reporting — driving lifetime value, repeat purchase, and program engagement across email, SMS, loyalty, and subscriptions.
