At Heat Free Hair, we are hair experts who strive every day to make women look and feel even more beautiful while staying true to who they naturally are. We are a team of quality-obsessed, strategic thinkers driven by innovation and elevated experiences.

We’re looking for a data-driven, hair-obsessed Lifecycle Marketing Manager to help strengthen and scale the customer journey across every touchpoint.

This role is ideal for a strong lifecycle executor who is ready to deepen their strategic ownership. You will lead execution across Email, SMS, Push, and Direct Mail — while growing into increased responsibility for retention strategy, LTV optimization, and performance insights over time.

● Strong content planning and research skills. You proactively study customer behavior, reviews, objections, trends, and performance data to inform campaign planning.

● Strong SMS marketing foundation with hands-on experience executing campaigns and flows.

● Familiarity with RFM segmentation, LTV metrics, and retention reporting — with a desire to deepen strategic expertise in these areas.

● Data-comfortable. You can read performance reports, identify trends, and contribute to structured testing plans.

● Experience working with subscriptions and retention marketing is a plus.

● AI-curious and open to leveraging tools that improve efficiency and personalization.

● Scrappy and hands-on. Willing to build campaigns, QA flows, edit creative, and execute within Klaviyo and SMS platforms.
