The Challenge
CB2 needs a Lifecycle Marketing leader to orchestrate email and push strategy across US + CA, driving customer engagement and LTV through sophisticated segmentation and personalization. You'll own the complete lifecycle playbook—from acquisition to retention—managing vendors, internal teams, and a revenue-critical channel portfolio.
Your Mission
Audit and document current email/push segmentation strategy, identify gaps vs. best practice, and present roadmap for audience architecture improvements
Establish baseline performance metrics for all lifecycle channels; create weekly/monthly reporting dashboard showing engagement, conversion, LTV by segment
Map and prioritize A/B testing calendar for next 6 months covering send frequency, subject lines, personalization, and product recommendations
Onboard and align cross-functional stakeholders (brand, creative, merch, tech); clarify decision-making authority and communication cadence
Execute 3-4 major A/B tests on segmentation or personalization; document learnings and implement winning variants into automated flows
Launch refreshed product recommendation strategy (if vendor partnership exists) or evaluate new personalization platform ROI
Grow email subscriber list by 15-20% through optimized acquisition strategy; improve list health (reduce unsubscribes/bounces by 10%)
Deliver Q4 promotional campaign strategy and forecasting; present channel performance vs. KPI targets with insights and optimization recommendations
KPIs You'll Own
Email Revenue Per Subscriber (RPS)
Track total email channel revenue divided by active subscriber base; benchmark quarterly improvement.
Push Notification Engagement Rate
Monitor open rate and click-through rate by segment and campaign type; target 25%+ baseline.
Customer Lifetime Value by Segment
Measure LTV for high-engagement vs. low-engagement segments; optimize segmentation to shift mix upward.
List Growth Rate
Track net new subscribers as % of total list monthly; target sustainable growth without quality decay.
A/B Test Velocity & Learning Velocity
Count number of statistically significant tests completed per quarter; measure time-to-insight.

Is This Role For You?
- You have 5+ years of email marketing and lifecycle management experience; retail/ecommerce background is a major plus
- You're fluent in Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Moveable Ink, or similar ESPs and personalization platforms; you understand technical implementation
- You're obsessed with testing, segmentation, and data—you don't launch without hypothesis and you measure everything
- You thrive managing cross-functional teams and vendors; you communicate insights clearly to non-marketing leaders (merchandising, finance)
- You're a tactical executor only—this role requires strategic thinking on audience strategy, channel roadmap, and LTV optimization
- You lack hands-on email or CRM platform experience; this isn't a learn-on-the-job role
- You can't commit to Chicago on-site 4 days/week; the role requires in-person collaboration and vendor relationship management
- You're uncomfortable owning P&L accountability, managing people, and being the final decision-maker on lifecycle strategy
