Is This Role For You?
- You've owned end-to-end lifecycle programs at B2B SaaS and can connect engagement to revenue outcomes
- You're fluent in Customer.io or similar marketing automation platforms and think in systems
- You love data and experimentation-you'll run 5+ tests per quarter and use results to iterate
- You thrive cross-functionally and can influence Sales, CS, and Product without formal authority
- You need remote work; this role is on-site in France and visa sponsorship is limited to Germany
- You prefer campaign execution over strategy-this is about owning lifecycle from first principles
- You're uncomfortable with ambiguity; the playbook doesn't exist yet, so you'll build it
