About the role

As Going's Director, Lifecycle Marketing, you will own the strategy, execution, and performance of the member lifecycle for our 2M+ monthly active members across email, push, in-app, and web — from onboarding through winback. You will set the roadmap, own the lifecycle calendar, build the reporting that tracks our impact, and lead and develop the lifecycle team. This is a semi-technical leadership role: you'll be the senior owner of our Braze CRM and the go-to partner for Product, Engineering, and Data & Insights, while pushing the program toward AI-enhanced efficiency and automation at scale.

Apply AI to all relevant automated journeys to increase program performance and team efficiency.
Translate business goals into delivery requirements — data, segmentation, targeting logic, and dynamic content — partnering closely with Data, Product, and Engineering teams on technical projects.

Proven ownership of an end-to-end lifecycle program across multiple channels (email, push, in-app, web), including calendar ownership and program governance.
