Digital Marketing Specialist - Growth and Retention

We are seeking a high-impact Digital Marketing Specialist to join our growth team as a dedicated individual contributor. In this role, you will be responsible for the day-to-day execution, optimization, and management of our digital marketing ecosystem.

​

Unlike a traditional management role, this position focuses on the "hands-on-keyboard" execution of our performance marketing and retention strategies. You will be the primary operator across our core platforms, ensuring that every dollar spent is optimized for high-quality customer acquisition and long-term subscription retention.

​

Subscription Lifecycle Focus: Managing a subscription brand requires a nuanced understanding of the customer journey beyond the initial conversion. You will be responsible for managing the following lifecycle stages.

​

This position is an onsite role requiring you to work in our headquarters located at 4235 Redwood Ave. Los Angeles, CA  90066.

​

1. Channel Execution & Optimization- Media Buying: Manage the daily operations of paid social (Meta, TikTok) and search (Google) accounts. This includes setting up campaigns, managing bids, and monitoring performance against CAC and ROAS targets.

• A/B Testing Implementation: Execute rigorous split-testing protocols for ad copy, creative assets, and landing page elements to incrementally improve conversion rates.

1. Performance Monitoring & Analysis- Data Integrity: Ensure all tracking (UTMs, pixels, and server-side events) is functioning correctly to maintain data accuracy across Shopify and GA4.

• Weekly Reporting: Aggregate data from multiple sources to create performance snapshots. You will be responsible for identifying trends and surfacing opportunities for optimization to the leadership team.
• Cohort Analysis: Monitor subscription cohort health, specifically looking for drop-off points in the first 90 days of the subscriber journey.

1. Creative & Content Coordination- Creative Briefing: Translate performance data into actionable briefs for the creative team. You will identify which hooks and visual styles are winning and request iterations based on evidence.

• Copywriting: Draft compelling, brand-aligned copy for ads, email subject lines, and SMS alerts that drive action while maintaining our unique brand voice.

Professional Qualifications:- Experience: 3–5 years of direct experience in digital marketing for a D2C/consumer brand. A track record of working within a subscription-based business model is essential.

• Technical Mastery: Hands-on proficiency in Meta Ads Manager, Google Ads and Tiktok. Familiarity with subscription apps like Recharge, Skio, or Stay is highly advantageous.
• Analytical Skills: Strong ability to interpret data. You should be comfortable with Google Analytics 4 and attribution platforms (e.g., Triple Whale, Northbeam).
• Execution-Minded: You are someone who enjoys the technical details of campaign setup and the "craft" of digital marketing.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, or a related field.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)- Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC): Maintaining efficiency across paid channels.

• Churn Rate: Improving retention through optimized lifecycle messaging.
• LTV (6-Month & 12-Month): Increasing the projected value of acquired customers.
• Conversion Rate (CR): Optimizing the path to purchase for first-time subscribers.
