Tasks:

• Work closely with the CEO to lead all user retention and lifecycle marketing activities, ensuring smooth onboarding, engagement, and reactivation flows.
• Plan, organize, and optimize lifecycle campaigns across email, push, and in-app channels, including segmentation, messaging, and automation workflows.
• Develop and maintain campaign calendars, user journey maps, lifecycle playbooks, and SOPs.
• Conduct cohort, funnel, and retention analyses; identify drop-off points and churn drivers; propose and implement improvements.
• Manage quality assurance, A/B testing, and optimization of user journeys, campaigns, and internal processes.
