About the Role
We are seeking a Director of CRM Lifecycle Marketing to lead the evolution of IPSY’s CRM function into a strategic growth engine. This leader will own an end‑to‑end lifecycle strategy across the member journey — driving conversion, increasing LTV, improving net retention, and reducing churn across all subscription programs (Original, Extra, Ultimate), IPSY Shop, upgrades (Beauty Boost, Annual), and future offerings. This is a highly commercial role. You will translate business goals into lifecycle strategy, forecasting and driving measurable performance across email, push, SMS, and emerging direct‑to‑member channels. You will combine deep channel expertise, personalization at scale, and data fluency to unlock step‑change impact. You will partner closely with Product, Engineering, Data/Analytics, Creative, Brand, Operations, and CX to architect scalable programs, influence roadmap decisions, and modernize our CRM stack (Iterable and beyond). We are looking for a change agent — someone who thrives in transformation, challenges the status quo, and builds systems that move us from campaign‑centric execution to 1:1 personalization at scale. The Director, CRM will report to the VP, CRM and can be 100% remote from any of the U.S. states that IPSY has an authorized business presence.
