Lifecycle Marketing Lead

Mirage is an AI video company focused on making creation dramatically easier. Our team tackles some of the hardest creative and technical challenges in generative media.

We get to rethink how people collaborate with AI that can actually do creative work with them—defining entirely new interaction paradigms for AI-native video tools. We make that possible by building multimodal agents that turn creative direction into edits, rendering engines that composite multiple layers of video and graphics, and generative video models trained from the ground up that create new media when needed.

All of this comes together in Captions, our creative workspace for generating, editing, and designing video. The technology behind Captions is now available more broadly: Tesseract gives any AI agent native video-editing capabilities, while developers can integrate our models into their own products through APIs.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Lifecycle Marketing Lead to own the end-to-end customer journey across Captions’ products. In this role, you’ll build and scale lifecycle programs that drive onboarding, conversion, retention, and winback across iOS, Android, and web.

You’ll own both strategy and execution: defining the lifecycle roadmap, building campaigns, and continuously optimizing performance across email, push, and in-app channels. You’ll partner closely with our product, engineering, data science, and creative teams to deliver the right message to the right customer at the right time.

The programs you build will directly impact core company metrics and shape how customers experience and engage with Captions. This role is ideal for someone excited to get hands-on while setting a clear vision for lifecycle marketing at scale.
