About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own high-impact lifecycle initiatives end-to-end (from ambiguous goal → design → build → launch → iteration), spanning guest journeys like activation, reactivation, graduation, and loyalty.
Build reliable messaging and data pipelines that power campaign execution (segmentation, scheduling, send-time optimization) across email/SMS/push at scale.
Raise the bar on deliverability and compliance (domain warmup, provider policies, Twilio registration, throttling/guardrails), ensuring we can send safely while maximizing reach and performance.
Establish an experimentation + measurement loop for lifecycle: holdouts, incremental lift, attribution quality, and analytics instrumentation that product and marketing can trust.
Improve platform observability and operational excellence with SLOs, dashboards, alerting, and incident-ready runbooks for business-critical pipelines.
Ship AI-assisted capabilities that make lifecycle marketing more autonomous (e.g., smarter targeting, creative generation, and adaptive campaign optimization), with a bias toward production-ready systems.
Multiply the team through technical leadership: set engineering standards, review designs, mentor engineers, and partner cross-functionally with Product, Data, Marketing, and other GPV Growth teams.
