  • Act as the lifecycle marketing lead in go-to-market and cross-functional workflows, ensuring customer communications are aligned to company-wide priorities.
  • Oversee campaign briefing, creative reviews, and approvals, serving as the strategic leader for day-to-day lifecycle work.
  • Identify opportunities to enhance customer engagement through AI-powered optimization. Lead the charge on testing emerging tools; integrate and enhance further automation and personalization into lifecycle programs.
  • Monitor and optimize segmentation and frequency capping, ensuring messages reach the right families at the right time.
  • Partner closely with Growth, Brand, and Care teams to deliver thoughtful, on-brand communications that enhance customer experience and loyalty.
  • Serve as the main point of contact for Little Spoon’s CRM, ensuring data integrity, reporting accuracy, and platform optimization.

  • Excellent communication skills and comfort collaborating cross-functionally.
  • A passion for testing, iterating, and learning—balancing creative intuition with data-driven decision making.
  • An eye for brand and creative, ensuring campaigns feel cohesive, engaging, and true to Little Spoon’s voice.
  • High attention to detail and the ability to prioritize effectively in a fast-paced, scaling environment.

What You’ll Need:

  • 7+ years of lifecycle or CRM marketing experience, ideally within DTC, CPG, or subscription-based businesses.
  • Proven success leading lifecycle campaigns that drive acquisition, retention, reactivation.
  • Hands-on experience with Braze (or equivalent CRM) and strong understanding of audience segmentation and data hygiene.
  • Comfort managing cross-channel programs (email, SMS, direct mail) and translating performance data into actionable insights.
  • Demonstrated experience collaborating cross-functionally with creative, analytics, digital product, and growth teams to build cohesive, high-impact campaigns

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
