In 1978, Gary Thuerk sent the world’s first email marketing campaign to about 400 recipients, kicking off an entire industry and earning himself the title 'Father of Spam'—though he himself preferred to be known as the 'Father of Email Marketing.' While we're aiming for something a bit more charming than unsolicited messages to unsuspecting inboxes, we are looking for a Lifecycle Marketing Manger to carry on Gary’s legacy—with less controversy and way more creativity! At Mercury, we’re on a mission to turn email marketing into an art form, one irresistible click at a time.

As a Lifecycle Marketer and part of the larger Growth Marketing team, you will be responsible for strategizing and optimizing the early lifecycle of Mercury users, with a focus on conversion, onboarding, and activation. You’ll work closely with product, marketing, data science, sales, and relationship management to maximize the number of users who open Mercury accounts and use our financial products for the first time.

*Mercury is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group, Column N.A., and Evolve Bank & Trust; Members FDIC.

You will:

• Execute and optimize top-of-funnel lifecycle programs that drive signups, application completions, and product activation
• Partner with growth, product, and onboarding teams to identify friction points in the early user journey and build messaging strategies that address them
• Own and iterate on early lifecycle journeys — writing briefs, managing QA, setting logic, and analyzing performance to improve conversion
• Use data to inform messaging strategy and audience segmentation, working closely with data science to define and track KPIs tied to signup and activation
• Collaborate with copywriters, designers, and product marketers to build high-quality, user-focused communications that guide users toward value
• Bring a test-and-learn mindset to the role — propose experiments, launch A/B tests, and iterate based on results

You should have:

• 5+ years of experience in lifecycle or email marketing
• Hands-on proficiency with email as a channel, and in enterprise-level marketing automation tools (bonus points for experience with Customer.io)
• Experience using tools like Looker, Hex, Metabase, or similar to analyze marketing experiments
• B2B or B2C SaaS and/or FinTech experience is a strong plus
