We are looking for a Director of Lifecycle Marketing to define, own, and scale our multi-product lifecycle strategy, driving member engagement, retention, and loyalty across every touchpoint of the Dave experience.

In this role, you will lead the Lifecycle & CRM function end-to-end, managing lifecycle communications across onboarding, engagement, retention, and reactivation, alongside operational and transactional messaging. Building on a solid technical and operational foundation that successfully scaled our single-product portfolio, you will evolve Dave's lifecycle strategy as we transition to a multi-product ecosystem in 2027.

This is a hybrid strategy-and-execution position where you will establish vision while remaining active in campaign execution alongside your team. Navigating ambiguity, you will shape our multi-product roadmaps, resource allocation, and cross-functional priorities across the Dave ecosystem.

• Experience scaling a lifecycle function with a complex customer data layer.

• Familiarity with SMS and email deliverability and compliance requirements (CAN-SPAM, TCPA, CTIA).

• Experience presenting lifecycle strategy and performance recommendations directly to executive or VP+ audiences.

This role operates in a fast-paced fintech environment with significant autonomy to shape our lifecycle marketing function while maintaining compliance and member trust. As our product portfolio continues to evolve, you will ensure our messaging strategy dynamically aligns with changing business priorities through data-informed decision-making.
