💥 Your Impact

Your role will play a major role in our success because…
Coverflex has a strong brand and growing inbound interest from micro companies, but the full lifecycle — from lead to activated customer — is not yet systematically managed.

Pre-signup, we need structured nurture and conversion flows for leads who haven’t signed up yet. Post-signup, activation rates are still a challenge, KYB completion is a known bottleneck, and there is no structured cross-sell motion across insurance, wallet, and fringe benefits.

You’ll own the full owned-channel lifecycle — from first touch to cross-sell — building the email, WhatsApp, and in-app programs that help us convert, activate, retain, and grow customers.

You’ll know you’re successful when, after 90 days, you’ve…

1. Understood the current PLG lifecycle across lead nurture, signup conversion, activation, cross-sell, and retention

2. Audited the existing HubSpot setup, lifecycle stages, workflows, segmentation, and reporting

3. Mapped the main lifecycle gaps, especially around pre-signup nurture and KYB completion

4. Designed the first owned-channel lifecycle framework across email, WhatsApp, and in-app

5. Launched or improved the first lifecycle campaigns focused on qualified signups and activation

How we’ll measure success:

Phase 1 — months 1–4: Drive qualified signups

1. Qualified signups driven by owned-channel lifecycle programs, including email, WhatsApp, and nurture flows

2. Lead-to-signup conversion rate from owned channels

3. Lifecycle campaign performance: open rate, CTR, and signup conversion by market

Phase 2 — months 4–9: Activation and LTV

1. Activation rate: KYB completion rate and time-to-first-value, by market

2. Cross-sell attach rate across insurance, wallet, and fringe benefits

3. Revenue per activated customer at 6 months as an LTV proxy

⚡ Reality Check - What Makes This Role Hard

Let’s be real - here’s what makes this role challenging:

• The data layer across HubSpot, Amplitude, and Segment isn’t fully clean yet, and proper behavioral segmentation does not fully exist. You won’t inherit a perfect lifecycle machine — especially pre-signup, where nurture infrastructure still needs to be built from the ground up.

• Cross-sell products are at different maturity stages across markets, and you’ll need to manage campaigns across different products, languages, and conversion dynamics.

• You’ll also need to influence Product, Insurance, Performance Marketing, RevOps, and the wider PLG team without directly owning those teams. The split with Performance Marketing is clear: paid acquisition is owned by Joana Morgado, while owned channels are yours. But tight coordination will be essential to avoid message inconsistency and create a coherent acquisition-to-retention motion.

👤 You

Must-haves (evidence, not years)

• HubSpot power user: complex workflows, lifecycle stages, behavioral triggers and reporting

• Track record owning multi-channel lifecycle programs: email + at least one of WhatsApp, in-app or SMS

• B2B SaaS or fintech background: understands activation, onboarding and retention mechanics

• Strong audience segmentation skills based on behavior, not just demographics

• Data-driven: measures campaign performance rigorously and turns insights into action

• Fluent in English

Nice-to-have

• WhatsApp Business API experience for marketing or lifecycle campaigns

• Spanish or Italian language skills

• Familiarity with in-app messaging tools such as Intercom, Braze or Customer.io

• HR tech, fintech or SMB platform background

• Experience running cross-sell or upsell campaigns end-to-end

🧬 Your DNA

Systematic and analytical. You design lifecycle frameworks before jumping into execution. You build campaigns from behavioral triggers, not intuition. You care about segmentation, copy, timing, reporting, and what happens after someone clicks.

You’re comfortable building from scratch, working with imperfect data, and coordinating across teams you don’t directly own. You can move between strategy and execution — from defining the lifecycle architecture to writing the campaign logic, reviewing copy, and measuring performance.

You’ll probably find this frustrating if…

You only want to send email blasts without thinking about lifecycle stages, segmentation, or activation. You need perfect data before starting. You prefer execution without strategy. You’re uncomfortable building systems from scratch or coordinating with Product, Insurance, Performance Marketing, RevOps, and the wider PLG team without directly owning those teams.

👥 Manager & Team

Meet Your Manager

Hiring Manager: Mário Tarouca — PLG Team Lead
Location: Portugal
LinkedIn Profile:https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariotarouca/

Profile Snapshot:

• Energy:Strategic, high-output, and fast-moving. Automation-first and focused on validating ideas quickly.

• Communication:Direct and async-first — mostly Slack, straight to the point, no fluff.

• Feedback Style:Honest and direct, always tied to business outcomes. You’ll always know where you stand.

How to work with me - in the Manager's own words:

"I care about outcomes, not activity. I give full autonomy to people on my team — but autonomy comes with ownership, and ownership means you drive your numbers and flag blockers proactively, not after the fact. My default question is: what’s the fastest way to validate this? I'm automation-first and expect the same mindset from everyone I work with — if something can be done by a tool or a workflow, we shouldn't be doing it manually. I'm hands-on: I'll be in your experiments, your copy iterations, your dashboards. Not to micromanage, but because I think the best results come from a manager who's close to the work. I'm direct — with feedback, with priorities, with bad news. I expect the same back."
