About the Role
Coast is seeking a Lifecycle Marketing Manager to own customer activation, retention, and growth post-sign-up. This role is crucial for transforming the initial fuel card product into long-term, multi-product customer relationships by building and managing automated programs across owned channels. The position requires developing deep customer and product expertise to drive full-funnel lifecycle marketing, including lead nurture, onboarding, activation, cross-sell, retention, and winback.
Responsibilities
- Own full-funnel lifecycle journeys end-to-end
- Build and run nurture, onboarding, activation, engagement, retention, and winback programs in Braze across email, in-app, push, and SMS
- Use behavioral and product data to trigger the right message, at the right moment, for the right persona
- Drive fuel → non-fuel expansion through owned channels
- Own the lifecycle motion that moves fuel customers onto corporate cards, Bill Pay, and more
- Partner with Product Marketing and Growth teams on the narrative, offers, and timing that get customers to adopt more
- Turn new signups into activated, transacting customers
- Design onboarding journeys that get a new fleet issuing cards, setting controls, and transacting fast
- Identify drop-off points and partner with Product, Sales, and Customer Success to close them
- Work with Growth Engineering on the data, events, and integrations that power triggered journeys
- Work with Revenue Operations, Sales, and CS to time lifecycle touches around the sales cycle and each customer's real activity
- Own the metrics for every program — deliverability, engagement, activation rate, attach rate, retention
- Run a real testing cadence, report what's working, kill what isn't, and use results to influence our overall GTM motion
Requirements
- 4+ years in lifecycle, CRM, product marketing, or marketing ops/analytics
- Hands-on mastery of a modern lifecycle platform; direct Braze experience is a strong plus
- AI-native mindset: you're already using AI tools in your daily work and you're excited to push further
- Strong analytical instincts: comfortable pulling and interpreting metrics yourself, designing clean A/B tests, and translating data into decisions
- Excellent written and verbal communication, including strong copy instincts (you can write a subject line and a lifecycle email that drive action)
- Bias to action, strong agency, comfort with ambiguity, and propensity for first principles systems thinking: you don't wait for someone to hand you a playbook
- Experience in B2B fintech, payments, financial services, or SaaS strongly preferred
