About Us:

Grow Therapy is on a mission to serve as the trusted partner for therapists growing their practice, and patients accessing high-quality care. Powered by technology, we are a three-sided marketplace that empowers providers, augments insurance payors, and serves patients. Following the mass increase in depression and anxiety, the need for accessibility is more important than ever. To make our vision for mental healthcare a reality, we’re building a team of entrepreneurs and mission-driven go-getters. Since launching in February 2021, we’ve empowered more than ten thousand therapists and hundreds of thousands of clients across the country and insurance landscape. We’ve raised more than $178mm of funding from Sequoia Capital, Transformation Capital, TCV, SignalFire, and others.


About the Role
We're looking for a technically strong, operationally excellent Lifecycle Manager to own the strategy and execution of our retention program. This role sits at the intersection of lifecycle strategy, technical platform ownership, and cross-functional execution - and is critical to Grow Therapy's ability to move retention metrics at scale in 2026 and beyond.
You'll work closely with the Lifecycle Lead, who sets the strategic direction, and own the program roadmap, technical buildout, and day-to-day execution from there.
What You Will Be Doing
Program Ownership
  • Own the retention program roadmap, translating strategic direction into a prioritized, sequenced plan with clear milestones
  • Drive concurrent retention initiatives across customer touch points, such as email, push, in-app, SMS, and direct mail, with minimal oversight
  • Establish and maintain a repeatable experimentation cadence tied directly to Lifecycle OKRs
  • Surface insights and communicate impact and opportunities to stakeholders clearly and proactively
Technical Execution
  • Own technical buildout and maintenance of lifecycle programs in enterprise ESP platforms - including complex journeys, API-triggered sends, segmentation, personalization, and A/B testing
  • Lead significant work streams during platform migrations and infrastructure projects, including journey rebuilds and QA
  • Own HTML email builds, template management, and platform documentation
  • Identify and resolve technical bottlenecks independently and with technical stakeholders
Cross-Functional Coordination
  • Serve as the primary lifecycle point of contact for Product, Growth, Creative, Data, and Eng on retention initiatives
  • Manage stakeholders, timelines, feedback loops, and launch readiness across teams
You Will Be a Good Fit If You
  • Have 5+ years of experience in lifecycle, retention, or marketing automation - with at least 2 years owning a channel or program end-to-end
  • Are deeply comfortable in enterprise lifecycle platforms - Braze or Iterable experience strongly preferred; Customer.io also relevant
  • Have navigated a platform migration or major technical transition before
  • Are operationally excellent: you build process, document everything, and don't let things fall through the cracks
  • Are technical enough to build complex journeys, understand data architecture, and work fluently with Eng - without being an engineer yourself

Employment Type: Full Time, Exempt
Base Compensation: The base compensation range for this position is $144,000–$168,000 USD Annually
This is a hybrid role with the expectation to work onsite from our NYC hub location three days per week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) and travel 2–3 times per year (e.g., company and department offsites).

The base compensation for this role will vary depending on several factors, including relevant experience, qualifications, and the candidate’s working location.

If you do not meet every single requirement but are excited about the role, we encourage you to apply. At Grow, we know the strongest candidates bring more than what is listed on a resume.

Full Time Employee Benefits:

  • Comprehensive Health Coverage: Medical, dental, and vision insurance, plus life and disability coverage.
  • Parental Leave & Family Support: Up to 18 weeks paid leave and a new child stipend.
  • Financial Wellness: 401(k) program and equity opportunities.

What We Do

We see technology not as a layer on top of care, but as the connective tissue that helps it grow. Grow Therapy is an online therapy platform that helps you find a therapist who gets you—and takes your insurance. Grow was founded to create end-to-end systems that make therapy easier on both sides: helping therapists launch and grow thriving private practices by removing the friction of credentialing, billing, and insurance, so they can focus on care, and helping clients actually find and afford it. Our founders come from Harvard Medical School, Stripe, and Blackstone, and bring Grow’s mission to life from the inside out, pairing bold vision with a culture of balance, belonging, and whole-person wellness. We believe change starts by empowering therapists. Grow’s smart platform helps independent providers build sustainable practices by handling credentialing, billing, and referrals, so they can focus on what matters. With business tools, a supportive clinical community, and opportunities like CE events and speaking engagements, Grow helps therapists practice with more autonomy and less administrative strain, reducing no-shows, increasing demand, and creating more space for care. We then help people find those licensed therapists who reflect their lived experience, whether that means shared racial or cultural background, language, identity, or life stage. Our platform makes it easy to search by specialty, availability, and insurance so clients can book care that fits their life and budget. Today, Grow supports thousands of therapists and prescribers across all 50 states and has delivered care to over 1 million clients. We’re in-network with 100+ major insurers, including Aetna, Cigna, Medicare, Medicaid, and UnitedHealthcare, and have raised more than $178M from leading investors like Sequoia Capital, Goldman Sachs Alternatives, TCV, Transformation Capital, SignalFire, and Plus Capital. We believe in benefits that support the whole you. That means two hours each week to care for your mental health, free access to therapy through Grow, $500 learning and $300 wellness stipends, a $1,000 remote office setup, free in-office meals, and flexible PTO with a paid December recharge week. We’re building the future of mental healthcare and that starts with how we care for our own team. If you’re excited by bold challenges and meaningful impact, Grow with us.

Why Work With Us

At Grow Therapy, we believe well-being isn’t just a perk—it’s part of how we work. From clinicians to engineers, every voice helps shape the care we build. Our mission-driven team is rethinking mental health care, supported by flexible PTO, paid winter recharge, mental health breaks, no-cost therapy through our platform, and wellness perks.
