As the Lead Product Analyst- Lifecycle Marketing, you will serve as the strategic analytics partner for lifecycle and CRM initiatives, helping shape retention strategy through cohort-based insights, experimentation, and cross-functional partnership. You will partner deeply with PMM, Product, and Data Science to measure impact, improve lifecycle programs, and identify the highest-leverage opportunities to drive retention.

This role is ideal for someone who combines strong analytical rigor, operational execution, and excellent communication skills. You should be comfortable moving from hands-on analysis to clear recommendations, and from detailed experiment readouts to polished presentations for cross-functional and leadership audiences.

What you'll do

• Be the analytical thought partner for lifecycle, CRM, and retention strategy.

Partner closely with PMM and Product to identify the biggest opportunities to improve retention, re-engagement, and long-term user value. Use cohort analysis and lifecycle insights to help prioritize where the business should invest.

• Own measurement strategy for lifecycle programs and experiments.

Define success metrics and measurement frameworks for CRM and lifecycle initiatives. Design, execute, and evaluate A/B tests and other experiments to understand what drives retention, engagement, and sustained behavior change.

• Drive cohort-based insights that improve user retention.

Analyze user behavior across lifecycle stages to identify patterns, drop-off points, and high-impact levers for retention. Go beyond reporting to uncover actionable insights that inform targeting, messaging, timing, and program design.

• Support operational excellence in experimentation and reporting.

Be self-sufficient in setting up analyses, monitoring experiment performance, identifying issues, and delivering clear recommendations. Build scalable dashboards, reporting cadences, and frameworks that enable fast, high-quality decision-making.

• Communicate insights clearly and influence through data.

Translate complex analysis into concise, compelling narratives for technical and non-technical audiences. Present findings and recommendations in a way that drives alignment across PMM, Product, and leadership stakeholders.

What we're looking for

• Strong lifecycle / CRM / retention analytics experience.

8+ years of experience in analytics in a fast-paced, data-driven environment, ideally in consumer tech. Strong background in lifecycle marketing, CRM analytics, retention, engagement, cohort analysis, and user behavior measurement.

• Deep experimentation and measurement capability.

Proven experience designing, executing, and interpreting A/B tests and other growth experiments. Able to independently define metrics, assess results, identify tradeoffs, and make clear business recommendations.

• Expert SQL skills.

Highly proficient in SQL and comfortable using data independently to answer business questions and support experimentation. Python is helpful but not required.

• Operational and self-sufficient.

Comfortable owning analyses end-to-end, working in self-serve environments, and moving from problem definition through implementation support, measurement, and recommendation.

• Excellent communication and presentation skills.

Able to synthesize complex findings into clear takeaways for a wide range of audiences. Comfortable influencing cross-functional teams and presenting insights and recommendations to senior stakeholders.

• Cross-functional partnership strength.

Proven ability to work closely with PMM, Product, and Engineering. Collaborative, low ego, and effective at aligning partners around data-informed decisions.

• Retention-oriented mindset.

Understands how to evaluate user behavior over time, identify retention drivers, and distinguish short-term engagement lifts from sustained long-term impact.

• AI-augmented analytical workflow.

Demonstrated ability to use AI tools to improve analytical efficiency, synthesis, or workflow speed, while maintaining sound judgment, validating outputs, and owning final recommendations.

• Graduate degree in a quantitative field such as mathematics, statistics, computer science, engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
