- **Director of Lifecycle Marketing**
- This is a senior leadership role sitting at the heart of a large, customer-led business undergoing significant transformation.
- You’ll take ownership of end-to-end lifecycle strategy across a multi-brand environment, with a clear mandate to drive customer value, retention and revenue through more structured, data-led lifecycle marketing.
- This is not a BAU role - it’s about evolving how lifecycle operates as a commercial function, moving from reactive campaigns to always-on, insight-led customer journeys.
- **The role**
- You’ll lead lifecycle strategy across onboarding, engagement, retention, cross-sell and win-back, with responsibility for driving measurable outcomes across a large and complex customer base.
- Working closely with Product, Data, Commercial and Technology teams, you’ll play a key role in shaping how lifecycle contributes to broader business performance - from customer experience through to revenue and lifetime value.
- You’ll also lead a high-performing team, bringing structure, clarity and direction as the function continues to evolve.
- **What you’ll be doing**
- Owning and evolving the end-to-end lifecycle strategy across multiple customer segments;
- Driving retention, engagement and revenue through data-led, personalised lifecycle programs;
- Embedding more structured, always-on lifecycle capability (vs campaign-led execution);
- Partnering cross-functionally with Product, Data, Commercial and Technology teams;
- Leveraging martech and CDP capabilities to deliver scalable, automated customer journeys;
- Identifying opportunities to improve customer experience and reduce churn;
- Leading, developing and scaling a high-performing lifecycle team (currently 15); and
- Translating customer and performance data into clear commercial insights.
- **What we’re looking for**
- Proven experience leading lifecycle / CRM strategy in a large, complex customer environment;
- Strong commercial lens, able to link lifecycle activity directly to revenue, retention and customer value;
- Experience operating at scale, ideally across multi-brand or multi-product environments;
- Deep understanding of segmentation, journey design and lifecycle optimisation;
- Strong exposure to martech, automation platforms and customer data infrastructure;
- Track record of leading and developing teams; and
- Highly effective stakeholder operator, able to influence across Product, Data and Commercial functions.
- **Why this role**
- This is an opportunity to step into a role with real scale, ownership and impact - where lifecycle is a critical lever for business performance.
- You’ll have the platform to shape strategy, build capability and drive meaningful change in how customers are engaged across the full lifecycle.
