Responsibilities
We are looking for a VP, Customer & Retention Marketing to build and scale our programmatic approach to customer engagement across a global base of 500,000+ SMB/long-tail customers. This is a unique opportunity to own the full post-sale customer journey for a segment that is not covered by dedicated Customer Success Managers — designing scalable, data-driven programs that combine the discipline of programmatic CSM with the craft of retention and lifecycle marketing.
You will lead and grow a team responsible for onboarding, adoption, retention, and expansion (upsell/cross-sell) across our entire customer base, partnering closely with Product to shape the post-sale experience and reduce churn at scale.
CSM coverage, build programmatic customer success at scale: Design automated, segmented onboarding programs that drive activation and time-to-value without human touch.
Reduce churn: Develop early-warning and intervention programs (lifecycle campaigns, in-app messaging, email, health scoring) to identify at-risk accounts and drive proactive retention.
Drive expansion revenue: Identify monetization opportunities and turn them into programmatic execution. Plan and execute upsell and cross-sell campaigns across segments, channels, and lifecycle stages.
Partner with Product: Work hand-in-hand with Product Management and Product Marketing to influence roadmap, in-product messaging, and self-serve journeys that improve retention and reduce friction.
Build and lead a team: Hire, develop, and scale a Customer & Retention Marketing team, establishing clear ownership across onboarding, lifecycle, retention, and expansion.
Segment and personalize at scale: Build data-driven segmentation (by industry, usage, tenure, geography, revenue tier) to enable relevant, automated communication across the customer lifecycle.
Own the metrics that matter: Define and be accountable for retention/renewal rate, net revenue retention (NRR), churn rate, expansion revenue, and program-level engagement metrics.
Leverage marketing automation & CRM/CS tooling: Own the tech stack (e.g., marketing automation, CDP, in-app messaging, CS platforms) to enable scalable, triggered, and behavior-based communication.
Global orientation: Adapt programs for regional, linguistic, and cultural nuances across a worldwide customer base.
Requirements
8+ years in B2B SaaS/software marketing, with significant experience in customer marketing, lifecycle marketing, retention marketing, or programmatic customer success.
Proven track record building and scaling retention/expansion programs for large, long-tail customer bases (ideally without 1:1 account coverage).
Experience owning churn reduction and NRR/expansion as core KPIs.
Proven experience operating at significant commercial scale, ideally with responsibility for customer retention and growth across a customer base or business representing €200M+ in annual revenue.
Strong understanding of customer lifecycle management, segmentation, and marketing automation for B2B audiences.
Experience partnering cross-functionally with Product and/or Customer Success leadership.
People leadership experience — building, managing, and developing marketing teams.
Analytical rigor: comfortable with cohort analysis, churn modeling, and campaign performance measurement.
Experience operating in a global, multi-region customer environment.
Excellent English communication skills; additional languages a plus.
Experience in high-volume, transactional or subscription-based B2B software businesses.
Familiarity with product-led growth (PLG) motions and self-serve customer journeys.
Experience with CS platforms (e.g., Gainsight, Vitally, Totango) and marketing automation tools (e.g., HubSpot, Marketo, Braze, Iterable).
