Sr. Lifecycle Marketing Manager

As Pilot’s Lifecycle Marketing Manager, you will be the architect of how, when, and what we communicate to customers across their entire journey with us. You will design and implement customer programs that drive engagement, education, advocacy, and expansion — maximizing customer lifetime value while deepening customer trust in Pilot.

You will collaborate with customer success, product, content, and operations teams to define critical moments in the customer journey and build strategies to proactively support, nurture, and expand our customer relationships. You’ll help evaluate and optimize our customer lifecycle marketing systems — including identifying gaps in our tech stack (for example, CDPs or orchestration tools) and proposing solutions to close them — to ensure Pilot can deliver a seamless, personalized experience at scale.

This is a hybrid position with the expectation to work in the San Francisco or Nashville office on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
