- You thrive in omni-channel environments (email + SMS + push + direct mail + in-app) and love translating business asks into technical execution
- You want to grow retention metrics at massive scale across a public company serving millions of customers
- You're new to CRM/lifecycle marketing or prefer more strategic/creative work over hands-on execution and QA
- You're not comfortable with SQL, complex segmentation logic, or deep technical troubleshooting
