Summary/Objective:

This position is responsible for the strategy, design, implementation, and optimization of member journeys that support member acquisition, onboarding, activation, engagement, retention, reactivation, and relationship growth. This role defines audience strategy, personalization, testing, and measurement across the member lifecycle, ensuring communications are coordinated, compliant, and aligned to member and business needs.

Essential Functions:

• Lifecycle Strategy & Member Journey Design: Develop and optimize lifecycle strategies across member acquisition, onboarding, activation, engagement, retention, reactivation, and relationship growth.

Ensure tracking, attribution, segmentation, and reporting frameworks support accurate measurement. Lead test-and-learn efforts across audience, timing, channel mix, cadence, personalization, and calls to action. Translate performance insights into recommendations for continuous improvement.
• Cross-Functional Communications Planning & Compliance: Serve as a lifecycle communications planning lead across Digital, Analytics, Product, Retail/Branch, Compliance, Operations, Creative, vendors, and other teams. Maintain visibility into lifecycle communication plans to reduce channel conflict, duplication, member fatigue, and disconnected experiences. Support governance around cadence, timing, approvals, accessibility, regulatory standards, and member data considerations.
• Content Strategy & Development: Provide member-centric messaging direction, content requirements, personalization guidance, and content hierarchy recommendations with the copywriter, Brand Director, Creative, Compliance, and subject matter experts. Ensure communications are clear, relevant, compliant, on-brand, and appropriate for channel and lifecycle stage.
