We’re looking for Director, CRM & Loyalty Marketing to own and elevate our customer lifecycle strategy across email, SMS, and emerging channels.

• Design and oversee a rigorous A/B testing roadmap to consistently optimize all elements of the email/SMS programs, including subject lines, segmentation, creative, send times, and landing experiences
• Deliver robust weekly, monthly, and quarterly reporting to cross-functional leadership, turning insights into strategic recommendations that inform marketing, creative, merchandising, and product decisions
• Drive advanced segmentation strategies across all owned channels to improve customer retention, cross-category loyalty (fine vs. bespoke jewelry), and customer lifetime value
• Partner closely with creative, integrated marketing, and merchandising teams to guide storytelling opportunities that reflect retention insights, ensuring consistent and personalized messaging across all touchpoints
• Oversee and manage relationships with retention marketing vendors, evaluating new technologies and making recommendations to senior leadership on partnership opportunities
• Evaluate, test, and scale emerging retention marketing channels (e.g., direct mail, loyalty programs, retail activations) that complement core email/SMS strategy
• Lead cross-functional projects that impact customer retention beyond marketing, including product inserts, return rate analysis, customer satisfaction surveys, user experience, and loyalty/discounting strategies
• Analyze and lead the optimization of the loyalty program with the goal of strengthening customer retention and brand advocacy.
• Ensure all retention marketing efforts adhere to internal guidelines, industry best practices, and legal regulations (CAN-SPAM, CCPA, GDPR)
