Our mission is simple: to motivate people to live their best active lives. We believe in the power of movement to connect and drive people forward.

About This Role

Strava's Retention team is responsible for reinforcing ongoing subscription value, from renewal to feature adoption, through lifecycle marketing and experimentation. As Product's GTM velocity has grown, so has the need for a dedicated bridge between Product Marketing (PMM) and Lifecycle Marketing, so that new launches can be supported by one-off activations, as well as integrated into lifecycle programs.

This role owns that bridge. You'll represent Retention across GTM alignment forums with PMM, MarTech, and Data, translating GTM briefs into scoped plans, targetable audiences, and experiment designs, and project managing each launch from creative handover through post-campaign analysis. You'll partner closely with individual lifecycle marketers to route GTM opportunities into existing lifecycle programs where it makes sense, and to build new, repeatable ones where it doesn't. You're the first dedicated hire in this new pod, so you'll be hands-on from day one: running launches end to end, building them yourself in our martech stack, and shaping the first working version of the playbook as you go.

We follow a flexible hybrid model that translates to more than half of your time on-site in our San Francisco or New York City office, three days per week.

What You'll Do

• Represent Retention in ongoing GTM alignment forums across PMM, MarTech, and Data, owning brief intake and early-stage scoping so success metrics are defined before a GTM kicks off.
• Drive the GTM channel strategy and experimentation plan end to end: align stakeholders, confirm launch dates and experimentation design, review first-round creative, and manage the project from creative handover through post-campaign analysis.
• Translate GTM briefs into targetable audience lists, partnering with MarTech to identify what's available and close data gaps, so PMM can size launches accurately.
• Design and run incremental A/B tests on GTM campaigns, defining success metrics and mapping results against PMM's and Retention's learning agendas.
• Meet regularly with lifecycle marketers to understand their quarterly goals and surface GTM opportunities in that context, handing off strategic ownership on higher-tier programs to the marketer who owns that history, and owning execution directly on lower-tier tests.
• Bridge Product Engineering, PMM, and MarTech tooling (Iterable, Braz
