Establish weekly test-and-learn cadence with Product and Data Science; build shared dashboard tracking key funnel metrics
Build and onboard lifecycle team; define roles, priorities, and performance standards for quarter ahead
Achieve 15-20% uplift in customer activation rates through optimized onboarding sequences and cross-functional product alignment
Reduce churn by 10-12% via targeted retention campaigns and lifecycle segmentation strategy
Scale lifecycle team capability: train team on advanced analytics, experimentation design, and strategic thinking beyond execution
Evolve lifecycle from tactical execution to strategic growth lever; present roadmap positioning lifecycle's role in 2026 growth targets

Is This Role For You?
- You've scaled a lifecycle/retention function at B2B SaaS or fintech; you have 7+ years growth marketing experience with 3+ leading a team
- You obsess over data and can translate metrics into strategy; you're comfortable building test frameworks and deriving insights from complex datasets
- You thrive in cross-functional environments and can influence Product, Data Science, and Ops without direct authority
- You're energized by early-stage strategic problems; you want to build lifecycle from 'execution' to 'strategic growth lever' at a global scale
- You're based in or willing to relocate to San Francisco or Singapore; on-site culture is non-negotiable here
- You need remote flexibility or want to work from home; this is hard on-site in SF or Singapore
- You're primarily a campaign executor looking for tactical work; this role requires strategic, analytical depth and team leadership
- You're uncomfortable with ambiguity or lack of detailed playbooks; you'll need to design lifecycle strategy from scratch in partnership with teams
- You can't demonstrate prior success with data-driven experimentation, funnel optimization, or measurable retention/activation wins
