Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've scaled email/SMS retention programs in a DTC or beauty startup and can prove LTV impact
  • You're obsessed with testing and data—you speak A/B tests, segments, and cohort analysis fluently
  • You genuinely care about sustainability and brand values, not just metrics
  • You thrive owning end-to-end customer lifecycle strategy with minimal hand-holding
  • You can brief creatives, negotiate with vendors, and drive projects cross-functionally
Won't Work If
  • You need remote work flexibility; this role is on-site in NYC
  • You're looking for a purely tactical email manager role—this requires strategy ownership and program building
  • You don't have hands-on DTC retention experience; you need someone who's built these programs before
