We are seeking a strategic professional to support retention strategy across the full DIRECTV FOR BUSINESS product suite.

The ideal candidate has worked closely with, or within, a marketing organization and understands how customer insights turn into campaigns, offers, and in-market programs.

Here’s what you’ll do:  

  • Support customer lifecycle management strategy, from onboarding and early tenure through renewal, contract expiration, and save/win-back moments, to strengthen engagement and reduce churn. 
  • Partner closely with Marketing to inform retention campaigns, offer construction, and customer communications, and help evaluate what is working in market. 
  • Collaborate with Sales and Care leaders to identify and recommend shifts in sales strategy, save approaches, and offer positioning that improve retention outcomes. 
  • Develop business cases for retention initiatives and offers, including key assumptions, expected impact, risks, and trade-offs. 
  • Apply strong financial and business acumen to understand customer value, offer economics, and the revenue impact of retention decisions. 
  • Partner cross-functionally with Finance, Product, Operations, Customer Care, and Business Analytics to align on and execute retention initiatives. 
  • Proactively identify emerging lifecycle trends, risks, and opportunities and bring forward clear, actionable recommendations. 

 

What you’ll need to be successful: 

  • Experience working within or in close partnership with a marketing organization, ideally in retention, lifecycle, CRM, or customer marketing. 
  • Solid understanding of customer lifecycle management and churn drivers, with the ability to translate insights into messaging, offer, and tactical recommendations. 
  • Comfort working with data and performance reporting to inform recommendations and measure results. 
  • Financial acumen and experience developing business cases to support offers, campaigns, or strategic decisions.
