Sr. Manager, Retention Marketing — Dallas, TX

Senior Manager, Retention Marketing

Dallas, TX (Hybrid, 3 days in office) | Full-time

About WQPDy8Xd

Since 1883, WQPDy8Xd has handcrafted some of the finest cowboy boots in the world, made by hand in Texas by artisans who carry more than 140 years of craft forward. Today we're a western luxury lifestyle brand with stores across the country and a fast-growing digital business. We're building a team that brings the same care to our clients online that our bootmakers bring to every stitch.

The Role

A WQPDy8Xd client doesn't buy one pair of boots; they start a relationship that can last a lifetime. As our Senior Manager, Retention Marketing, you'll own that relationship after the first purchase. You'll lead our lifecycle program across email and SMS and build the client audiences the rest of the business plans against, from paid media to stores and events. This is a high-impact seat: retention drives a meaningful share of our revenue, and you'll grow it by deepening loyalty, not by discounting.

What You'll Do

• Own our Klaviyo program end to end: lifecycle strategy, campaign calendar, flows (welcome, browse, cart, post-purchase, win-back, VIP), segmentation, deliverability and consent.

• Build and maintain the client segments the business plans against, and activate value-based audiences from Salesforce through Data 360 into paid social, CTV and other channels.

• Design a 12-month repeat-purchase program for every new-client cohort, and move clients up through value tiers with clear KPIs.

• Measure what really works: partner with our Data Scientist on holdouts, control groups and incrementality.

• Own the retention revenue forecast and the weekly and monthly reporting behind it.

• Bring our stores and events to life digitally with location-specific email and SMS, geofencing and store-level promotions.

• Partner with Retail on clienteling for our most valued clients, and work closely with product, brand, events and creative.

• Set day-to-day priorities for our Retention Specialist and help them grow.

What You Bring

• 6+ years in lifecycle, CRM or retention marketing in a direct-to-consumer business, including at least 3 years owning segmentation or audience strategy.

• Expert, hands-on Klaviyo experience, including flows, segmentation, deliverability and the Shopify integration.

• A track record of growing repeat purchase or lifetime value, with results proven against a control.

• Experience building audiences for paid media through platform integrations, not manual exports.

• Experience directing the work of a lifecycle or retention specialist.

• A love of building loyalty through great experiences rather than promotions.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Salesforce CRM and Data 360.

• Shopify ecosystem experience and basic HTML.

• Klaviyo certification.

• A bachelor's degree in marketing, business or analytics, or equivalent experience.
