We're hiring a Growth Marketing Manager, Lifecycle to own the execution of Wealthsimple's incentives and seasonal promotions lifecycle program and to help shape its strategy. Reporting to the Senior Manager, Growth, you'll be responsible for building and improving our promotions playbook: the campaigns, journeys, and experiments that drive client participation in promotions, incentives, and seasonal moments across our ecosystem — continuously optimizing the client journey to improve activation, engagement, and conversion at every touchpoint.

This is a highly cross-functional role that sits at the intersection of marketing, technology, and creative problem solving. You'll work closely with partners across Product, Engineering, Design, Data Science, and CX — and you'll bring a client-first, data-driven perspective to everything you ship.

The ideal candidate is both a builder and a strategic contributor: someone who can own execution with high autonomy, bring sharp ideas to planning conversations, and get things done without waiting to be asked. Critically, you think AI-first — you're someone who is genuinely passionate about AI, constantly looks for ways to reduce repetitive work, and brings an efficient mindset to everything you do. You don't just use AI tools; you actively push the boundaries of what's possible with them.

• Work in an AI-native way. Actively apply AI tools across the full campaign lifecycle — briefs, copy, segmentation, QA, and reporting. Constantly look for ways to reduce repetitive work and unlock better outcomes. Comfort with agentic AI workflows is a strong asset.

• Build and evolve the promotions playbook. Own the execution of Wealthsimple's incentives and seasonal promotions program, improving the campaigns, journeys, and frameworks that drive client participation — and contribute to strategy as a lifecycle subject matter expert.

• Drive activation, engagement, and promotion participation. Use behavioural signals, segmentation, and propensity data to build targeted audiences and experiment with triggers, journeys, and personalization that move clients to act at scale.

• Think in cohorts and funnels. Go beyond individual sends — map client journeys across product areas and surface insights that sharpen targeting and improve conversion over time.

• Run rigorous, incrementality-focused experiments. Maintain a healthy testing pipeline with clear hypotheses and clean control groups, analyze results independently, and advocate for cutting what isn't working to reinvest where it matters.

• Shape lifecycle infrastructure. Design scalable, evergreen programs and partner with Product and Engineering to define the automation and personalization capabilities your roadmap needs.

• Embed with your cross-functional partners. Collaborate with Design, Product, and Engineering to optimize client journeys and raise lifecycle implications early, before they become problems.

• 5+ years of experience in lifecycle marketing, CRM, or marketing automation. Ideally in a consumer fintech, e-commerce, or marketplace setting — with a track record of independently owning initiatives from brief through to measurement

• Demonstrated AI fluency. You're genuinely passionate about AI in your personal and professional life, you think AI-first, and you actively look for ways to use it to remove friction, reduce repetitive work, and unlock better outcomes; eagerness to adopt agentic tooling and AI-assisted workflows is a strong plus

• A resourceful problem solver. You take ownership of ambiguous challenges, seek out context when you need it, and figure things out independently; you don't wait for others when you're blocked and you don't need constant handholding to move forward

• Hands-on proficiency in Braze or a comparable marketing automation platform; deep familiarity with segmentation, dynamic content, Liquid logic, multi-channel orchestration, and experimentation

• Demonstrated ability to build and QA campaign code independently — including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Liquid templating — with a track record of shipping personalized, dynamic content at a high standard

• Solid analytical instincts. You're comfortable interpreting campaign performance data, sizing audiences, mapping funnels, and packaging experiment results into clear, actionable recommendations; working knowledge of SQL is a plus

• A strong understanding of user journeys and lifecycle stages. You naturally think about where clients are in their journey and what will move them forward, not just what the next send should be

• Proven cross-functional collaboration skills. You earn trust with Product, Engineering, Design, Data, and CX partners by showing up prepared, communicating proactively, and surfacing lifecycle considerations early in planning conversations

• Comfortable in a high-velocity environment, balancing multiple concurrent campaigns, promotion launches, and experiments across channels — prioritizing ruthlessly, adapting quickly when timelines or requirements shift, and maintaining execution quality under pressure

• Comfortable working in Figma to review, annotate, and collaborate on journey prototypes and campaign designs alongside product and design partners

• Broad awareness of growth marketing beyond lifecycle. You understand how lifecycle fits into the bigger picture and can connect your work to wider acquisition, retention, and product-led growth efforts
