Key Competencies

• Incrementality-first thinking — instinctively asks what the control group did; treats sends, opens and pMAU as inputs rather than results.
• Lifecycle craft — journey design, triggers, frequency capping, suppression logic and deliverability, across push, email and in-app together rather than channel by channel.
• Offer economics — understands that a reactivated user arriving on bonus cash can be NGR-negative, and can defend a step-down against a stakeholder whose reactivation number it depresses.
• Hands-on tooling — configures journeys and segments themselves; can pull their own data in SQL or a BI tool.
• Player respect — treats notification volume as a finite asset and argues for fewer, better sends.
• Builds from zero — the function, the DL, the runbook and the measurement all need creating; comfortable with that rather than expecting an established machine.

Experience

• 6–10 years in lifecycle / CRM / retention marketing for a consumer mobile product, including direct ownership of a reactivation or win-back program.
• Deep hands-on experience with a lifecycle platform — CleverTap strongly preferred ; Braze, MoEngage, Iterable or WebEngage acceptable — including journey building, segmentation and frequency management.
• Ran holdout-based incrementality measurement on messaging campaigns and can evidence a campaign they killed on the number.
• Real-money gaming industry experience required.
• Owned push notification deliverability and opt-in economics, including double-dialogue opt-in patterns and the constraints of iOS re-enablement.
• Comfortable partnering with Product on instrumentation gaps and with Analytics on independent scoring; experience taking over tooling ownership from another function is a plus.
