We're a lean, fast-moving team scaling a recurring-revenue business where retention is the model. We're hiring our first dedicated Lifecycle/Retention Marketing Manager to own and grow our relationship with subscribers.

This is the single most important lever on our subscriber lifetime value, and you'll own it end-to-end.
