The Challenge
Purple Carrot is the only plant-based meal delivery company entirely devoted to plant-forward eating. You'll own the retention engine that keeps customers engaged and coming back-building lifecycle strategies that drive LTV through personalized, data-driven campaigns across email, SMS, push, and in-app.
Your Mission
Audit and document all existing email, SMS, push, and in-app campaigns; identify gaps and quick wins for immediate optimization
Develop a testing roadmap for Q1-Q2 with 5-7 prioritized A/B tests across retention channels to establish baseline performance benchmarks
Partner with data and product teams to refine customer segmentation strategy and build 3-4 high-value audience segments for personalization
Launch one new automated lifecycle journey (e.g., win-back or post-purchase onboarding) with clear success metrics and handoff documentation
Increase email engagement rate by 15-20% and SMS conversion rate by 10-15% through dynamic content and progressive personalization
Build and scale 6-8 programmatic automated journeys across key lifecycle moments (signup, first order, churn risk, re-engagement)
Establish a testing cadence with weekly A/B tests; document insights and learnings in a searchable testing library to inform future campaigns
Drive measurable LTV lift of 8-12% through retention optimization, evidenced by reduced churn rate and increased repeat purchase frequency
