About The Position

We’re hiring a Senior Manager of Retention to own the full customer lifecycle, from first purchase through long-term loyalty, across email, SMS, subscriptions, direct mail, post-purchase flows, winbacks, and beyond. We're not even two years old, yet our owned channels are scaling at a rate rarely seen in CPG: $20M+ in revenue driven from email + SMS Nearly $1M in MRR from subscriptions, launched earlier this year We are only getting started. Your mandate: grow our email list to 1 million engaged and passionate real-food subscribers, and scale our subscription program into one of the strongest in the category. This role is both strategic and operational. You will work closely with our Director of Marketing and Director of Growth to develop the lifecycle roadmap, performance targets, campaign calendar, and experimentation plan for retention. At the same time, you're not afraid to get hands-on: building tests, constructing segmentation logic, optimizing flows, pulling data, QA’ing campaigns, and jumping in alongside a Designer, and Email Coordinator or Executive Assistant whenever needed. You should live and breathe Klaviyo, understand retention levers like LTV, churn signals, CAC:LTV, and cohort behavior, and thrive in an environment where we create hypotheses, test them, review learnings, and operationalize quickly.
