Is This Role For You?
- You have 8+ years of CRM experience with proven leadership-ideally in B2C marketplaces, travel, or e-commerce.
- You're fluent in customer lifecycle strategy: activation, retention, reactivation, and loyalty-and can measure incremental impact.
- You can operate at the intersection of growth, product, tech, and data. You partner cross-functionally and speak fluent MarTech/CDP.
- You've launched new initiatives from concept to scale: referral programs, loyalty programs, new channels. You can define business case, pilot, measure, and iterate.
- You thrive in global, multi-market environments. You can adapt strategy for 5 regions while driving consistency and efficiency.
- You want a fully remote or hybrid role. This is on-site in SF-non-negotiable for day-to-day collaboration.
- You're uncomfortable with ambiguity in MarTech tooling or data infrastructure. You'll need to partner with teams to build foundations; this isn't a plug-and-play role.
- You view CRM as just email marketing. Turo needs someone who sees CRM as a growth lever across the full customer lifecycle and channels.
