## About the role

We are hiring a Lifecycle Lead to build the company-wide owned-channel capability that helps teams reach businesses with relevant, timely, and trustworthy experiences. This senior, hands-on leader will set the small and medium business lifecycle strategy, partner with Engineering to build the orchestration and deployment platform, and establish the operating model that allows teams across the company to launch and improve evergreen programs safely at scale.

- A track record of building and scaling lifecycle tooling or platforms with Engineering for multiple teams, products, audiences, or markets
- Strong technical and product fluency across event and identity models, data pipelines, APIs, segmentation, triggering, decisioning, experimentation, and deployment systems, coding experience is not required
- Deep campaign and journey craft, with experience designing evergreen programs that move users from message to product value and durable behavior
- Strong experimentation and measurement judgment, including incrementality, holdouts, cohort quality, retention, and lifetime value—not just delivery or click metrics
- Experience creating operating models, governance, templates, and quality standards that increase organizational velocity without creating channel chaos
