About the Role

We are seeking a Director of CRM Lifecycle Marketing to lead the evolution of IPSY’s CRM function into a strategic growth engine.

This leader will own an end-to-end lifecycle strategy across the member journey — driving conversion, increasing LTV, improving net retention, and reducing churn across all subscription programs (Original, Extra, Ultimate), IPSY Shop, upgrades (Beauty Boost, Annual), and future offerings.

This is a highly commercial role. You will translate business goals into lifecycle strategy, forecasting and driving measurable performance across email, push, SMS, and emerging direct-to-member channels. You will combine deep channel expertise, personalization at scale, and data fluency to unlock step-change impact.

You will partner closely with Product, Engineering, Data/Analytics, Creative, Brand, Operations, and CX to architect scalable programs, influence roadmap decisions, and modernize our CRM stack (Iterable and beyond).

We are looking for a change agent — someone who thrives in transformation, challenges the status quo, and builds systems that move us from campaign-centric execution to 1:1 personalization at scale.

The Director, CRM will report to the VP, CRM and can be 100% remote from any of the U.S. states that IPSY has an authorized business presence (see application for list).
