We’re Looking For A: Manager, Retention Marketing

Location: Hybrid (Woodland Hills, CA)

What You’ll Be Doing: The Retention Manager will serve as the strategic and operational lead for all customer retention, lifecycle marketing, and Customer Lifetime Value (LTV) initiatives across our Women’s Health & Beauty brand portfolio. Reporting directly to the Associate Director, Growth Marketing, this role owns the end-to-end post-purchase ecosystem - including email/SMS lifecycle marketing, subscription churn reduction, loyalty/rewards programs, unboxing customer experience, and re-engagement campaigns. The Retention Manager leads a dedicated team to maximize repeat order revenue, increase customer retention rates, and turn first-time buyers into high-LTV repeat customers across all BU brands.

Holistic Retention & LTV Strategy

  • Own overall BU retention metrics: 30/90/180/360-Day Cohort LTV, Repurchase Rates, Subscription Churn, Active Subscriber Retention, and Repeat Contribution Margin.
  • Develop multi-channel post-purchase retention strategies spanning Email, SMS, Direct Mail, Loyalty/VIP Programs, Custom Inserts, and Customer Portal Experience.
  • Lead subscription optimization strategies (e.g., skip/swap features, delivery frequency options, surprise-and-delight perks, and churn prevention flows) to extend active subscriber lifetimes.
  • Partner with Associate Director, Offer Managers and Brand Managers to design back-end cross-sell, bounce-back offers, and bundle upgrades that seamlessly build upon front-end acquisition offers.

Lifecycle Marketing & Automated Flow Management

  • Oversee and continuously optimize automated lifecycle journeys across Email and SMS (Welcome Series, Post-Purchase Education, Replenishment Reminders, Subscription Onboarding, Win-Back, and VIP Loyalty Tiers).
  • Manage the weekly/monthly broadcast campaign calendar for email and SMS across all portfolio brands.
  • Direct Email Ops Specialist on campaign build, deployment QA, deliverability health, and inbox placement across ESP platforms.
  • Lead A/R Specialist on retention operational workflows, subscription account maintenance, failed payment recovery (dunning), and post-purchase customer touchpoints.

Customer Experience & Cross-Functional Alignment

  • Partner with Customer Service to analyze escalation feedback, product return drivers, and churn reasons to build cancel/save and proactive post-purchase educational campaigns.
  • Work with Creative to brief direct-response email/SMS copy, video tutorials, usage guides, and post-purchase graphic assets.
  • Collaborate with the Associate Director of Digital Experience & Community to integrate user-generated content (UGC), customer reviews, and organic social trends into retention touchpoints.

Analytics & Experimentation

  • Conduct rigorous A/B testing across messaging angles, offer structures, delivery timing, channel mix (Email vs. SMS vs. Direct Mail), and landing page layouts.
  • Deliver weekly/monthly executive dashboards tracking Repeat Revenue Share, Cohort Payback Metrics, LTV Curves, and Retention Campaign ROI across all brands.

Qualifications (Note: We strongly encourage you to apply even if you don’t tick ALL of these boxes.):

  • Comprehensive understanding of post-purchase customer psychology, product habituation, and customer lifetime value levers in beauty/health CPG.
  • Strategic leader who balances high-level cohort analysis with hands-on operational oversight of team deliverables.
  • Excellent cross-functional collaborator capable of bridging growth metrics with creative, community, and customer service teams.
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing, Business, Communications, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
