TextNow is building the most flexible phone service in North America. As an app first wireless carrier, we give customers control with no contracts, no hidden fees, and no rigid rules. We serve ambitious, self directed people who expect transparency, value, and freedom in how they connect.
As we enter our next phase of growth, retention and lifetime value are our biggest opportunities. We are looking for a strategic, data driven Head of Lifecycle Marketing to transform lifecycle into a core growth engine driving engagement, retention, and sustainable revenue.
Reporting to the Head of Marketing, you will own the end to end customer lifecycle strategy from onboarding and education through engagement, monetization, retention, and winback.
Your mandate is clear. Build a scalable lifecycle system that strengthens activation, accelerates habit formation, reduces churn, and increases long term customer value while protecting customer trust.
You will lead a high impact lifecycle and marketing operations team and partner closely with Product, Analytics, Brand, and Performance Marketing to ensure customers understand, adopt, and continue choosing TextNow.
