A standout CRM & Retention Manager opportunity for a lifecycle marketing specialist ready to own retention as a genuine revenue channel, not just execute campaigns.

A female-founded, purpose-driven intimates brand is hiring a CRM & Retention Manager to take full ownership of retention and lifecycle marketing as a core commercial channel.

This is a scaling, mission-led ecommerce business that is redefining everyday intimate essentials for a new generation — combining a bold brand narrative with a real commitment to reducing the environmental footprint of everyday garments.

The CRM & Retention Manager will sit at the heart of the customer experience, with direct accountability for lifetime value, repeat purchase rate and retention performance.

This is a role with real autonomy and progression on offer.

It is ideal for someone who has already run CRM end-to-end and is now looking for greater ownership, commercial impact and a clear path to grow within a fast-moving team.
