ABOUT THE ROLE

The CRM Manager role will lead the strategy, execution, and optimization of Shinola’s client relationship management programs. This role will redefine how Shinola connects with guests—both online and in-store—through data-driven outreach, loyalty programming, and elevated service experiences. The ideal candidate is equally analytical and guest-obsessed: someone who can translate data into meaningful customer touchpoints, reimagine loyalty programs, and empower retail teams with tools for personalized engagement. This role will work cross-functionally with Marketing, Retail, and Ecommerce leaders. This is a high-impact role, based in our Detroit headquarters, that will directly influence how we build lasting guest relationships.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Collaborate with Marketing, Retail, Ecommerce, and Channel Leaders to redefine and rebuild Shinola’s Loyalty Program to strengthen retention and engagement
  • Support and optimize CRM initiatives across Marketing, Brand, and Channels to ensure a streamlined, strategic clienteling approach
  • Develop and execute weekly CRM strategies for 1:1 outreach—including product launches, post-purchase follow-ups, lapsed guest engagement, and new guest onboarding
  • Build curated, product-driven outreach strategies for retail teams to enhance personalization and sales impact
  • Map the full guest journey across brand touchpoints to maximize engagement, retention, and lifetime value
  • Analyze KPIs and CRM data to measure ROI; refine strategies based on performance insights
  • Deliver weekly execution results to Business Channel Leaders and Marketing; build monthly reports for sales analysis, incentive tracking, and program performance
  • Ensure consistent use of CRM platforms by retail and marketing teams through audits, training, and optimization
  • Serve as the subject matter expert on CRM technology and customer data platforms across all business channels
  • Support Shinola’s Loyalty Experience with templates, outreach strategies, milestone gifting, and personalized communications
  • Act as the primary liaison between HQ/Marketing and Retail loyalty representatives, ensuring alignment, insights sharing, and guest impact

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • 5+ years of experience in CRM, clienteling, loyalty, or customer experience roles—preferably in retail, luxury, or lifestyle brands
  • Strong knowledge of CRM systems, customer data platforms, or marketing automation tools (e.g., Salesforce, Klaviyo, NewStore, HubSpot) and how to leverage them to drive results
  • Analytical mindset with proven ability to track KPIs, build reports, and measure ROI
  • Exceptional communication and organizational skills; able to collaborate cross-functionally and influence without direct authority
  • Highly detail-oriented with a passion for creating elevated guest experiences

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

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.
