  • Manage and streamline a complex martech ecosystem (ESPs, CDPs, customer support tools, analytics platforms, checkout systems).
  • Conduct deep system audits to uncover legacy logic, overlapping triggers, conflicting flow and missed opportunities, ensuring increased system clarity and reduced redundancies.
  • Standardize and document business logic, flow ownership, and performance benchmarks across departments and platforms.
  • Evaluate and optimize vendor partnerships and platform usage for best-in-class deliverability, scalability, and customer experience
  • Design and execute testing roadmaps for flows and segmentation strategies in collaboration with data and growth teams.
  • Translate UX/business logic into clear flow maps, working alongside designers and developers to ensure accuracy and effectiveness.
  • Partner with international teams to adapt lifecycle strategies for localization, compliance, and regional business priorities.
  • Ensure lifecycle strategies are fully aligned across departments and platforms, with an accountability structure implemented.

Requirements

  • 7+ years in Lifecycle/CRM Marketing, with at least 3 years managing complex, enterprise-level systems across multiple platforms.
  • Proven experience with Klaviyo
  • Proven experience working across multiple departments and platforms (e.g. ESPs, CDPs, Shopify, Recharge, Zendesk, GA, Segment, etc.)
  • Strong technical fluency – you understand customer data, event tracking, integrations, and how various tools interconnect.
  • Background in UX/UI, Business Analysis, or Systems Design is highly preferred.
  • Excellent communication and documentation skills; able to align technical realities with strategic business objectives.
  • Experience working in international/multi-market environments and navigating varying compliance/regulatory needs.

Nice-to-Have:

  • Experience with legacy system audits and modernization
  • Familiarity with other lifecycle platforms like Braze, Iterable, or Salesforce Marketing Cloud
  • Strong understanding of eCommerce KPIs (LTV, AOV, RPR) within a technical system context
