- Build and maintain sender domain authentication, IP warm-up and deliverability monitoring.
- Own the unsubscribe and preference center, suppression lists, and opt-out audit trail for compliance.
- Build and run weekly parent progress reports, platform newsletters, in-app messaging and activity-based outreach tied to student engagement data.
- Own sign-up confirmation and waitlist nurture sequences in partnership with marketing, including the web form-to-platform integration.
- Manage the CRM mechanics for gated beta waves and partner referral cohorts.
- Build free-to-paid conversion, tier upsell, renewal and save programs.
- Develop lapse detection logic and multi-channel sequences reconnecting lapsed families with the product.
- Design and maintain segmentation across four distinct audiences: students, parents, teachers and prospects.
- Own the CRM-side of parental consent flows for under-13 users.
- Define content and cadence differences between subscription tiers, in partnership with publishing.
- Own CRM reporting: open rates, click-through, retention, conversion and win-back metrics.
- Run A/B tests across subject lines, send times, content and flow logic to continuously improve programme performance.
