Retention Manager

• Own RYZE's subscriber retention strategy — program design, execution, and performance measurement against churn and LTV targets

• Build and manage proactive save programs: identify at-risk subscribers before they cancel and execute targeted, personalized interventions

• Design and optimize cancellation flows — deflection offers, pause options, and retention messaging that reduce voluntary churn

• Own win-back program strategy and execution for recently churned subscribers — sequencing, offer structure, and success metrics

• Lead and develop the Retention Analyst — translating data outputs into program priorities and ensuring analytical findings inform every retention decision

• Partner with Marketing on retention-driven campaigns, lifecycle email strategy, and subscription offer design

• Partner with Product on subscription management features, member portal improvements, and cancellation experience optimization

• Build and maintain the subscriber lifecycle framework — mapping key intervention points from trial through long-term retention

• Report retention program performance to the VP on a regular cadence — including program ROI, churn impact, and win-back conversion rates

• Stay current on DTC subscription retention best practices to continuously improve RYZE's approach

• Additional duties as assigned by management.

Required:

• Experience leading or partnering closely with an analytics function — able to work directly from data to build programs, not just receive reports
