About the Role
We are looking for a Retention Marketing Manager to lead CRM strategy for our Commerce Platform, a core pillar of DoorDash’s merchant ecosystem.

- Lead a team of two direct reports who will help to brief, optimize, and execute CRM ad-hoc campaigns and automations for the Commerce Platform business line.
- Partner with Integrated Marketing to build campaign briefs based on business goals and audience behavior, determining the right channel mix, targeting, and messaging cadence.
- Lead end-to-end campaign planning in collaboration with Marketing Ops, including creative development, stakeholder feedback, audience segmentation, and QA.
- Align CRM initiatives with broader lifecycle programs to ensure consistency across merchant touchpoints.
- Analyze performance data, establish benchmarks, and deliver actionable reporting to optimize future campaigns.
Requirements
- 6+ years of experience in lifecycle, retention, or growth marketing, preferably in B2B or SaaS environments.
- A proven track record of driving results through cross-channel CRM campaigns.
- Strong cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder management skills.
- Hands-on experience with CRM platforms (e.g., Iterable, Pardot) and comfort working with complex data and segmentation tools.
