Paired is a global staffing and recruiting agency that pairs remote work with top-tier talent. We help individuals from around the world connect with great companies that are looking for their specific skill set. Our mission is to provide great jobs to talented people, no matter where they are located.

Our client is looking for a Retention Marketing Manager who can own the full customer lifecycle and build programs that deepen loyalty, increase repeat purchase, and grow customer lifetime value. This role blends creative storytelling with CRM rigor — you’ll concept, code, and launch campaigns across email, SMS, and lifecycle flows while also driving segmentation and testing strategies that meaningfully impact retention performance.

You’ll partner closely with Creative, Brand, Product, and Data to ensure every message feels intentional, on-brand, and rooted in customer insight. Your work will directly shape how we engage, retain, and nurture our customer base.

Key Responsibilities:

new flavor launches, and promotional strategy.

● Build narratives that connect customer insights, seasonality, and business priorities into

compelling cross-channel retention campaigns.

● Collaborate with Creative to guide messaging, tone, and visual direction for email and SMS.

Execution & Production

● Code, build, QA, and launch email/SMS campaigns with high accuracy and a strong eye for detail.

● Maintain and optimize automated flows (welcome, post-purchase, churn-prevention, win-back,

subscription, etc.).

● Maintain list health best practices, deliverability, and subscriber file growth.

Segmentation, Testing & Personalization

● Build and maintain advanced segmentation and cohorts based on behavior, lifecycle stage,

cancellation reasons, engagement level, and purchase patterns.

● Design, run, and analyze A/B and multivariate tests — messaging, timing, incentives, creative,

discounting, and segmentation — and turn learnings into clear recommendations.

● Partner with Product/Data to integrate new behavioral triggers and personalization points.

Analytics & Reporting

● Own retention reporting across email, SMS, and lifecycle flows — including conversion, repeat

purchase rate, churn, unsubscribe rate, active subscriber base, and LTV impact.

● Track list growth and list health, reporting on trends, drivers, and opportunities.

● Track A/B test results and communicate results and recommendations.

Lifecycle Optimization

● Identify and implement optimizations to subscription save/skip logic, win-back strategies,

cancellation reasons, and triggered communications.

● Use customer feedback and behavioral data to improve the experience for new, active, and

at-risk users.

● Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure retention strategies support product launches, channel

priorities, and brand moments.
