We are looking for a Lifecycle Marketing Lead to level up our customer acquisition and retention efforts. Reporting into the VP of Marketing, this role will be responsible for all lifecycle and customer marketing strategies, working cross-functionally with a variety of GTM and marketing stakeholders (content, creative, demand gen, sales, CS, etc) to drive user growth, revenue and mitigate churn. To be successful in this role, the individual will develop a data-driven lifecycle marketing plan that engages both prospects and customers throughout our funnel via a best-in-class marketing tech stack (that they will be instrumental in building).

• Map out our customer journey into actionable segments. Develop a comprehensive customer journey, mapping every step of the prospect and customer experience, and segmenting our database to serve personalized messaging and content at every stage.
• Define and measure lifecycle marketing metrics. You will bring a data-driven approach to establish goals and ensure that we are measuring, experimenting, and improving them. You will deliver real-time reporting on customer/lifecycle campaigns, focused on key metrics such as MQLs, pipeline, free-to-paid conversion and funnel performance.
• Collaborate across the business. Work with your counterparts in Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, Product, and others to align on the needs of our prospects and customers, as well as plan, design, and manage a robust data-driven approach to how we nurture them along their journey with Dovetail.
• Utilize data and A-B testing to deliver the right content content at the right time. Create and optimize segmentation and content personalization strategies by leveraging user insights and business data.
• Institutionalize email and customer comms best-practices. Ensure our very high bar for design quality in assets are upheld. Ensure our deliverability and messaging are elite.
• Own the lifecycle marketing tool stack. You will identify, evaluate and implement the right tool stack in order to effectively drive customer acquisition, revenue and retention. Proactively identify gaps in process and infrastructure, propose solutions, and ultimately, improve efficiency.

What you'll bring

• Strong lifecycle / customer marketing experience. You have experience leading lifecycle marketing programs, with deep expertise in email program management.
• Data obsessed. We expect you to geek out over data, metrics, growth hacks, and continual improvement. You are expected to have a deep, analytical understanding of the marketing funnel and levers to influence performance.
• Extensive experience in tech. You’ll have worked in the software and/or the B2B technology industry for 7+ years.
• Deep experience with marketing automation tools. Deep expertise with marketing automation software and Salesforce, with a comprehensive understanding of CRM and email systems, attribution models, and lead scoring.
• You are pragmatic and flexible. Like your new teammates, you’re used to doing what’s necessary to get the job done. You’ll need to be comfortable with ambiguity, be resourceful to solve problems, and be able to adjust to shifting deadlines and project goals.
