Lifecycle Marketing Lead

Company Credit Genie is a mobile‑first financial wellness platform designed to help individuals take control of their financial future. We leverage artificial intelligence to provide personalized insights and are building a financial ecosystem by offering tools and services that provide instant access to cash, and building credit. Our goal is to empower every customer to achieve long‑term financial stability. Founded in 2019 by Ed Harycki, former Swift Capital Founder (acquired by PayPal in 2017). Backed by Khosla Ventures and led by industry pioneers from companies such as PayPal, Square, and Cash App, we are well positioned to build the future of inclusive finance through cutting‑edge technology and customer‑centric solutions. Employees are expected to work in the office five days a week, fostering collaboration. However, we support flexible remote work or adjusted schedules when necessary to balance personal and professional responsibilities. Role Overview Credit Genie is looking for a Senior Lifecycle Marketing Manager—an owner of a single domain who will build, experiment with, and expand our lifecycle marketing strategy across loyalty, engagement, and retention. You will own the end‑to‑end customer lifecycle: every message, moment, and journey that turns a first‑time user into a loyal, financially healthier customer. What You’ll Do Own lifecycle strategy end to end: Define and execute the strategy for engagement, retention, and loyalty across the full customer journey, from onboarding and activation to re‑engagement, win‑back, and long‑term advocacy, ensuring alignment with overall business objectives and customer needs. Build and scale CRM programs: Design, build, and optimize cross‑channel lifecycle programs across email, push, SMS, and in‑app messaging using advanced segmentation, personalization, triggers, and automation. Drive retention and reduce churn: Develop segmentation, targeting, and journey logic that improves activation, deepens engagement, reduces churn, and grows lifetime value, including proactive save, win‑back, and re‑engagement journeys grounded in customer behavior. Design loyalty and engagement: Shape how Credit Genie rewards, recognizes, and re‑engages customers over time, building frameworks that turn repeat usage into durable habits and lasting financial‑wellness relationships. Own messaging and lifecycle narrative: Craft clear, compelling lifecycle messaging and value propositions that ladder up to our broader brand strategy, building scalable frameworks for consistent storytelling across every lifecycle touchpoint. Run a test‑and‑learn engine: Build a rigorous experimentation practice—A/B and multivariate testing, cohort analysis, and holdouts—to continuously improve performance; define success metrics, post‑launch evaluation, and iteration plans for every program. Champion customer and market insights: Partner with Research and Data Science to turn user insights and behavioral trends into actionable lifecycle strategies that shape both marketing execution and product direction. Establish operating rigor: Build repeatable processes, playbooks, and launch frameworks that scale as the company grows, making lifecycle a durable, measurable growth engine rather than a series of one‑off campaigns. Run a tight operation: Own the day‑to‑day health and quality of the program—email deliverability and IP reputation, push opt‑in rates, and message frequency and send discipline. Maintain QA standards, launch checklists, naming conventions, and campaign documentation so every send is accurate, on‑brand, compliant, and reliable as volume scales. Collaborate cross‑functionally: Navigate complex stakeholder environments and communicate effectively with Product, Design, Compliance, and Customer Service to ensure a cohesive, compliant, and on‑brand customer experience. Requirements 8+ years of experience leading all aspects of Lifecycle Marketing (CRM, retention, engagement, and/or loyalty) in a B2C environment. Proven track record of building and scaling lifecycle programs that measurably improved activation, retention, churn, and LTV, ideally for a consumer mobile app. Deep CRM and automation fluency: hands‑on expertise across email, push, SMS, and in‑app messaging, with Braze, and strong command of segmentation and journey orchestration. Strong blend of strategy and execution: you can write, build, analyze, and ship as effectively as you can plan. Highly analytical: confident using data and insights to shape messaging, design experiments, measure performance, and drive growth. AI‑first operator: you lean heavily on AI in your day‑to‑day work and treat it as a force multiplier, using AI tools to draft and iterate on copy, generate variants for testing, build segments and journeys faster, summarize results, and automate repetitive lifecycle work. Excellent communicator with the ability to distill complexity into clarity for cross‑functional partners and senior stakeholders. Comfortable working in fast‑paced, dynamic environments where you can help create structure and influence outcomes. Experience in fintech, financial wellness, or adjacent industries is a plus. Benefits & Perks 100% company‑paid medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents on your first day of employment. Receive up to $100 per month in fitness reimbursement or enjoy a complimentary full membership to LifeTime Fitness or Equinox. 401(k) with a 3.5% match and immediate vesting. Meal program available for both lunch and dinner. Pre‑tax benefits, including a $1,000 HSA match. Life and accidental insurance. Flexible PTO. Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case‑by‑case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job‑related knowledge and skills, education, and experience. Base salary is just one part of your total compensation and rewards package at Credit Genie. You may also be eligible to participate in the bonus and equity programs. You will also have access to comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, a 401(k) retirement plan with company match, short & long term disability insurance, life insurance, and flexible PTO along with many other benefits and perks.
