Lifecycle Marketing Strategist

We're here to drive transformation and growth.

Grohaus is a passionate team of lifecycle marketing experts from industry-leading tech companies across media, entertainment, online gaming, sports, health & wellness, and e-commerce. Our mission is to empower ambitious tech-enabled businesses to achieve sustainable growth through innovative lifecycle marketing programs that deliver new user acquisition, nurture engagement, and support long-term retention.

We bring a beginner's mindset to every client, developing effective and compassionate partnerships. Our unwavering focus lies in delivering measurable results.

The Role
You’ll lead lifecycle marketing strategy projects for our clients. That means learning each client’s product and user experience deeply enough to understand their user journeys and personas, then developing a sound, independent point of view on how lifecycle marketing fits into their growth strategy. You’ll audit existing programs and deliver read‑outs that actually change what your clients do next. You’ll architect activation and engagement journeys in industry-leading customer engagement platforms, plan the campaigns that fill them, and turn performance data into insight your clients can act on.

You’ll work directly with our Founder/CEO, our campaign production and creative subcontractors, and client‑based marketing, product, and engineering teams.

Within your first year, you’ll take responsibility for strategy for multiple clients across a diverse set of industries, and then have the opportunity to take full ownership of the Strategy function at Grohaus.

Location & Work Arrangement
This is a hybrid role based in New York City. You’ll split your time between our midtown Manhattan workspace and remote work, with 3 days per week in office. In-person collaboration with our Founder/CEO, local subcontractors, and clients is a meaningful part of how you’ll ramp up and how we work together, so you should reside in the NYC metro area.
