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.

• Build and execute multi-channel lifecycle programs across:

  • Email (Hub Spot)

  • In-app messaging (Pendo)

• Partner closely with Web, Sales, and Product Marketing to drive adoption and time-to-first-value

• 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

Core Requirements

• 8 years of experience in lifecycle or growth marketing

• Proven ownership of activation, retention, and expansion programs in a SaaS environment

• 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

• B2B SaaS experience preferred, not required

You'll also need

• A reliable home internet connection (or be able to get one)

• Fluent English language skills
