You will be responsible for building data‑driven lifecycle programs across the full customer journey-from pre‑purchase education and consideration through onboarding, utilization, and long‑term loyalty. You'll partner cross‑functionally with Product, Brand, and Analytics teams to design, launch, and optimize programs that deepen customer relationships and deliver measurable business impact.
This role reports to the Senior Manager, eCommerce & Digital Marketing and plays a key part in Snap's strategy.
What You'll Do
* Lead CRM & lifecycle strategy for Snap's consumer hardware, defining the roadmap, campaign calendar, manage partnerships, and channel mix across email, push, in‑app, and messaging.
* Design full‑funnel lifecycle journeys (welcome, onboarding, education, cross‑sell, winback, loyalty) that move customers from first touch to purchase and advocacy.
* Own segmentation and targeting based on behaviors, preferences, and value, and to unlock personalized experiences at scale.
* Develop a robust experimentation agenda (A/B and multivariate tests) across messaging, creative, frequency, and journey design to continuously improve activation, retention, and LTV.
* Partner with Brand and Product teams to connect on‑site, in‑app, and post‑purchase experiences, ensuring lifecycle programs are tightly integrated with product surfaces and checkout flows.
* Collaborate with Creative, Brand, and Regional Marketing to ensure communications are on‑brand, locally relevant, and aligned with broader campaigns and product narratives.
* Define and own CRM KPIs, including activation rates, engagement, repeat purchase, churn, unsubscribe, and revenue contribution; build dashboards and regular readouts for key stakeholders.
* Work closely with Marketing Operations / MarTech to ensure the right tools, integrations, and data pipelines are in place to power personalization, triggered experiences, and measurement.
* Manage day‑to‑day campaign operations (briefing, QA, deployment, QA, and post‑campaign analysis) in partnership with internal teams and external vendors as needed.
* Shepherd privacy‑ and trust‑forward practices in CRM, ensuring programs respect user choice and comply with evolving regulatory and platform requirements.
Knowledge, Skills & Abilities:
* Strong lifecycle strategy and CRM channel expertise (email, push, in‑app, messaging) with a deep understanding of how to orchestrate journeys across touchpoints.
* Proven ability to combine creativity with analytics-you're as comfortable building a test plan and reading a dashboard as you are crafting a compelling brief.
* Highly collaborative operator who can influence and align cross‑functional partners across Product, eCommerce, Brand, Analytics, and Regional Marketing.
* Analytical and hypothesis‑driven mindset, with a knack for spotting insights, translating them into clear opportunities, and operationalizing them into experiments and programs.

* Comfort operating in a fast‑paced, ambiguous environment, balancing strategic thinking with hands‑on execution.
Minimum Qualifications:

* Deep experience with email and push marketing, including segmentation, triggers, dynamic content, and deliverability best practices.
* Hands‑on experience with experimentation and optimization (A/B testing, incrementality, cohort analysis) and using data to inform roadmaps and prioritization.
* Proficiency with CRM and analytics platforms (e.g., Braze, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Iterable, Klaviyo, or similar) and comfort partnering with technical teams on data and tooling.
* Strong quantitative skills, including the ability to define KPIs, interpret dashboards, and partner with Analytics to build insights and recommendations.
