This role sits at the intersection of marketing, customer success, and revenue, leading programs that help customers realize value, drive adoption, and champion our platform to the broader commerce ecosystem.

You’ll own the full customer lifecycle—from launch to loyalty—developing integrated campaigns that increase product adoption, identify and nurture expansion opportunities, and foster an engaged customer community.

Customer Lifecycle Marketing

• Design and execute marketing programs to engage customers at every lifecycle stage: onboarding, adoption, retention, cross-sell/upsell, and advocacy

Retention and Expansion

• Build and manage retention campaigns that drive increased product usage, feature adoption, and expansion into new product lines

• Collaborate with Revenue teams to design targeted cross-sell and upsell plays informed by product engagement data and segmentation insights

• Own customer satisfaction and health metrics (e.g., NPS, CSAT, engagement scores) as leading indicators of retention

Advocacy and Community

• Lead customer advocacy programs including case studies, testimonials, references, and speaker recruitment for events and press opportunities

• Oversee customer community initiatives—online forums, ambassador programs, and peer networking events—to strengthen relationships and share best practices

• Partner with Product Marketing to elevate the voice of the customer into GTM messaging and roadmap priorities

Analytics and Measurement

• Establish dashboards and performance tracking for customer campaign metrics: retention rate, product adoption, NPS, and expansion pipeline

• Continuously optimize campaigns through A/B testing, segmentation, and data-driven insights

• Report program performance to executive stakeholders, demonstrating measurable business impact and ROI

• 7+ years of B2B SaaS marketing experience, with at least 3+ years focused on customer or lifecycle marketing

• Experience in ecommerce, payments, or digital commerce platforms strongly preferred

• Proven success launching data-driven retention and expansion programs that directly impact ARR and customer health
