Sr. Manager - Customer Lifecycle & Revenue Growth

Role Overview

We are looking for a sharp, strategic marketer to own the full customer lifecycle for our returning borrower base — and grow into one of the most commercially critical roles in the business.

This role starts with end-to-end ownership of our returning customer channels — SMS, email, and emerging retention touchpoints. But the real opportunity is bigger: over time, this will evolve into a cross-product Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV) role, spanning our full product portfolio.

We are not hiring for a linear, single-channel operator. We are hiring for someone who thinks commercially, is customer focused, and brings a strategic point of view to how we maximize revenue and engagement across a customer’s full journey with us.

The Opportunity

The returning customer segment is one of our highest-leverage growth levers. This is an opportunity to reimagine how we engage customers, what we offer them, when, and through which products — with a mandate to scale it into a mature CLTV function over time.

You will have real P&L ownership from day one, a direct line to senior leadership, and a mandate to grow the role beyond its current boundaries. The right person will not just optimise what exists — they will define what comes next.

What You Will Own

Phase 1: Relending Strategy and Marketing Channel Ownership

  • Build, manage, and optimise all returning customer channels — SMS, email, automated calling, marketing in customer portals and any emerging retention touchpoints

  • Define channel mix strategy based on customer segment, loan lifecycle stage, and engagement signals

  • Own end-to-end campaign execution — from brief to deployment to performance review

  • Drive A/B testing across messaging, timing, frequency, and offers to continuously improve channel ROI

  • Own the revenue and cost targets for the returning customer segment with full P&L accountability

  • Track and report on core metrics: repeat rate, cost per returning borrower, revenue per channel, ROI by campaign

Phase 2: Cross-Product CLTV Strategy

  • As the role matures, expand ownership beyond returning customers into a full customer lifetime value (CLTV) framework across our product suite

  • Design lifecycle journeys that evolve with the customer, not just re-engagement nudges that target a single behaviour

  • Build a segmentation and propensity model (in partnership with Analytics) to identify which products to surface, to which customers, at which stage of their lifecycle

  • Develop a playbook for intelligent down-sell and cross-sell: when to protect margin, when to retain the customer at a lower product tier, and when to upgrade

  • Partner with Product and Risk to influence roadmap decisions that affect lifecycle outcomes

Strategic Leadership & Stakeholder Ownership

  • Present performance and strategy to senior leadership on a regular cadence; own the narrative, not just the numbers

  • Serve as the internal authority on returning customer behaviour — own the data, own the insight, own the recommendation

  • Work closely with Analytics, Product and Finance to ensure channel strategy is grounded in commercial reality

  • Manage channel budgets and make data-backed decisions on where to invest and where to pull back

What We Are Looking For

Must-Haves

  • 5–8 years of experience in acquisition, retention, lifecycle, or CRM marketing — with demonstrable progression in scope and seniority, preferably in fintech or consumer lending

  • Experience working with a new-age digital company and associated tools and processes

  • B.E/B.Tech or MBA from a Tier 1 institute

  • Proven track record of owning channels (SMS, email) with measurable business outcomes — not just execution, but strategy and results

  • Demonstrated ability to think beyond campaigns into lifecycle architecture — someone who can connect individual channel tactics to a long-range CLTV view

  • Strong analytical skills: comfortable with Excel/Sheets, and familiar with SQL

  • Experience owning or contributing to a marketing P&L or budget with real accountability

  • Ability to translate complex data into clear strategy and communicate it convincingly to senior stakeholders

Good to Have

  • Familiarity with CRM and marketing automation tools

  • Experience working across multiple product lines or in a multi-product fintech environment

  • Exposure to cross-sell, upsell, or down-sell mechanics in a credit or lending context

  • Experience in a US-facing or cross-geography fintech environment

  • Understanding of credit products, loan lifecycle, and borrower behaviour
