- End-to-end ownership of Lifecycle strategy and execution for Upstart’s emerging products
- Set revenue and performance targets, track pacing against them, and make adjustments to channel plans accordingly
- Create annual, quarterly, and journey-level strategy that includes audience criteria, messaging, success metrics, and experimentation

- Over 7 years of marketing experience, with more than 5 years focused on B2C lifecycle marketing. Expertise includes building emails and designing customer journeys within an enterprise marketing automation platform
- Proven track record of creating GTM strategies and plans that meet ambitious financial targets
- Proven track record in leveraging a CDP, or customer data attributes and events, to build complex Lifecycle marketing segments
- History of creating, adjusting, and being responsible for delivering against forecasts
- Strong analytical ability– this role is data-driven without dedicated Analytics support. You must be able to pull data using a Business Intelligence Tool (we use Looker and Mode) and draw insights from data sets independently
