What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a CRM/lifecycle role where I can build retention systems end-to-end, own experiments and KPI impact, and partner closely with product/engineering to scale automation across channels with clean data orchestration.

I’m a Senior CRM & Lifecycle Marketing Manager and CRM architect who builds retention systems from zero. With 10+ years designing lifecycle programs for products with 10M–55M+ user bases, I focus on scoring models, segmentation frameworks, and multi-channel automation that actually moves KPIs.

My track record includes 35% retention improvements, 45% conversion lifts, and 65% efficiency gains through intelligent automation. Most recently, I’m building CRM infrastructure for a consumer product in the North American market—designing behavioral scoring, segmentation architecture, and orchestration across email, web push, PWA push, and SMS—while managing an outsourced CRM team and coordinating delivery with product and engineering.

Previously at TaxDome, I implemented Customer.io as the lifecycle engine, built 30+ SQL-based segmentation queries, configured multi-touch GA4 attribution, and ran 6–8 experiments per quarter—driving a 15% trial-to-paid conversion improvement and 25% operations cost reduction. Earlier roles included building the organization’s first end-to-end CRM program from zero at Constructor Group and scaling it to 15,000+ users with 35% retention improvement, plus leadership of lifecycle automation that supported rapid campaign growth and stronger engagement.
