Journey Management Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Overview
We are looking for an AI-native, execution-minded Customer Journey Manager to own lifecycle and retention performance across key customer and prospect journeys. This role sits at the intersection of lifecycle marketing, retention marketing, CRM, customer journey orchestration, marketing automation, and omni-channel customer engagement. This role is focused on one of our biggest growth opportunities: recovering and converting leads who do not enroll on the first pass. You will own strategy, execution, and optimization across cross-channel journeys that re-engage dropped leads, improve customer experience, accelerate sales contact, and drive incremental business impact.
This is not a narrow campaign management role. It is a high-agency operator role for someone who can both run the work and improve how the work gets done. You will build and optimize campaigns, journeys, and tests across channels, while also strengthening the underlying processes, tools, workflows, and cross-functional orchestration that make lifecycle marketing faster, smarter, and more effective over time. Our team operates like a high-performing in-house agency within the broader organization. That means this role offers real ownership, high autonomy, broad visibility, direct access to leadership, and the opportunity to help shape how modern lifecycle marketing gets done here.
The right candidate combines lifecycle marketing craft, direct response instincts, experimentation rigor, platform adaptability, and unusually high personal agency. They do not wait around for a task list. They identify opportunities, figure things out, build better ways of working, and use AI and modern tooling in practical ways to improve performance, customer experience, speed, and operational efficiency.

• Create structure where there is ambiguity and keep work moving without waiting for perfect process or direction.

1. AI-Native Marketing & Process Improvement

• Use AI tools to accelerate campaign planning, journey design, copy development, QA, reporting, analysis, and workflow execution.

• Leverage automation and lightweight build tools where appropriate to remove bottlenecks and solve practical workflow problems.
• Continuously evaluate better ways of working and help evolve the team into a more modern, high-leverage lifecycle function.

1. Performance Tracking, Analytics & Insight

• Partner with analytics and leadership to prioritize the highest-value opportunities.
• Communicate strategy, performance, insights, and recommendations clearly to stakeholders and senior leadership.

• Experience executing cross-channel programs across email, SMS, direct mail, landing pages, chat, or similar lifecycle touchpoints.
