Lifecycle Marketing Manager

The Context

At Wispr, how we communicate is the product. That means every message - whether it's onboarding, win-back, or product education - needs to be thoughtful, timely, and effective. This role is all about owning the full lifecycle system that drives growth and keeps users engaged. We’re looking for someone who blends strategic thinking with technical execution. You’ll build and optimize the frameworks that bring users in, keep them around, and turn them into champions.

The Role

You’ll own the strategy, tooling, and performance of all lifecycle marketing at Wispr Flow, across email, SMS, in-app messaging, and more. You’ll set the roadmap, ship experiments, and work closely with Marketing & Product to move key metrics across acquisition, activation, retention, and revenue. This is a hands-on, cross-functional role for someone who loves data, systems, and clarity - and knows how to get the best out of both the platform and the message.

You Might Be a Fit If…

You’ve built or scaled a high-performing lifecycle or CRM program before (bonus: in SaaS, AI, or product-led growth environments)

You have strong technical fluency in tools like Customer.io, Braze, Iterable, or similar

You think in systems, love to optimize, and aren’t afraid of spreadsheets or data dashboards

You’re obsessed with user behavior and can turn insight into comms that convert

You’re as comfortable writing a triggered flow as you are discussing ARR impact

You bring clarity, momentum, and a low-ego, high-ownership approach to cross-functional work
