How will you make a difference?
We are seeking a strategic, builder-minded Membership Lifecycle & Loyalty Manager for our global client to help reimagine how they attract, engage, and retain their global member community.
This is not a traditional lifecycle role. You will own and shape the future of membership value and loyalty ecosystem—defining strategy while also building and scaling programs from the ground up.
You’ll design a modern membership experience that goes beyond transactions—curating meaningful benefits, forging high-value partnerships, and creating personalized journeys that drive engagement, retention, and long-term member value.
This role requires a unique blend of vision and execution: someone who can define the roadmap, influence stakeholders, and then step in to build, test, and launch programs in a fast-moving environment.
In This Role, You Will
- Define and evolve the membership value proposition, loyalty strategy, and benefits ecosystem
- Build and scale lifecycle programs across the full member journey—from acquisition to renewal and win-back
- Use data, insights, and experimentation to reduce churn and increase lifetime value
- Design, launch, and iterate on loyalty programs, rewards, and personalized member experiences
- Source, negotiate, and manage strategic partnerships that expand and elevate member benefits
- Operate as a hands-on builder—creating programs, testing ideas, and driving execution from 0→1
- Partner across Brand, Martech, Analytics, Product, and Web to bring strategies to life
What You’ll Own & Drive

Benefits & Partnership Ecosystem
- Build and scale a high-impact benefits portfolio that delivers real, tangible value to members
- Identify, negotiate, and launch strategic partnerships that expand offerings and enhance the member experience
- Establish a repeatable model for sourcing, evaluating, and managing partner relationships
- Continuously assess and optimize the benefits ecosystem based on usage, feedback, and performance
Lifecycle Strategy & 0→1 Program Development
- Design and implement end-to-end lifecycle strategies across acquisition, onboarding, engagement, renewal, and reactivation
- Build lifecycle programs from the ground up where needed—creating structure, processes, and playbooks
- Define clear hypotheses, segments, and KPIs to guide execution and measure success
Retention, Engagement & Loyalty Activation
- Develop targeted strategies to increase engagement, strengthen loyalty, and reduce churn
- Launch and scale programs that drive habit formation, benefit utilization, and member advocacy
- Deliver personalized, multi-channel experiences that meet members where they are
Renewal & Lifetime Value Optimization
- Own renewal and pre-renewal strategy, including messaging, offers, pricing tests, and timing
- Identify and remove friction across the renewal journey, including payment and auto-renew experiences
- Continuously test and optimize to improve retention and maximize lifetime value (LTV)
Data, Insights & Experimentation
- Use behavioral data, cohort analysis, and experimentation to inform strategy and decision-making
- Partner with Analytics to build dashboards tracking LTV, retention, engagement, and satisfaction (NPS/CSAT)
- Translate insights into actionable programs, tests, and optimizations
Cross-Functional Leadership & Execution
- Act as a key connector across Brand, Martech, Product, Web, Analytics, and Community teams
- Influence stakeholders and drive alignment on priorities, roadmap, and execution
- Balance strategic leadership with hands-on execution—comfortable moving between big-picture thinking and detailed delivery
What You Bring
- Bachelor’s degree in Marketing or a related field
- 5–7+ years of experience in membership, loyalty, lifecycle, or subscription-based marketing
- Proven success building and scaling loyalty programs, benefits, or member experiences
- Experience developing and managing strategic partnerships or benefit ecosystems

- Demonstrated impact on retention, churn reduction, and lifetime value through testing and optimization
- Strong analytical skills, including cohort analysis, segmentation, and performance measurement
- Builder mindset—comfortable operating in ambiguity and creating structure where it doesn’t exist
- Ability to move seamlessly between strategy and execution (0→1 and scale)
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence across teams
- Experience working in agile, fast-paced, and evolving environments
Additional Details
