We’re hiring a Lead Lifecycle Marketing Manager to own and scale Oyster’s lifecycle engine across activation, retention, and expansion. This role sits at the intersection of Marketing, Product, Sales and Customer Experience. You will design and run lifecycle programs that help prospects and customers reach value faster, adopt our product and services, and expand their relationship with Oyster over time.

Success in this role means building a measurable, high-impact lifecycle system powered by product signals, behavioral data, and clear messaging. You will operate as a senior individual contributor who sets strategy, ships programs, and drives outcomes tied directly to retention and revenue.

Design retention programs informed by usage, signals, and customer behavior
Support expansion motions through contextual lifecycle messaging aligned with Sales and Customer Success
Lead experimentation across messaging, sequencing, timing, and segmentation
Measure impact across product usage, retention, expansion, and revenue
Collaborate with Web, Demand Gen, Product Marketing, GTM Ops, Sales, and CX to align lifecycle programs with GTM priorities

Core Requirements

Proven ownership of activation, retention, and expansion programs in a SaaS environment
Strong experience designing customer journeys using behavioral and product signals
Hands-on experience with lifecycle tooling (email, in-app, and sales-assisted channels)
Ability to translate data into clear, actionable programs
Experience operating as a senior IC who sets direction and executes independently
