Job Summary
The Member & Lifecycle Marketing Lead owns how Tessitura communicates value to existing members, turning member communications into a strategic growth lever that reinforces confidence, surfaces expansion opportunities, and strengthens retention.
This role is responsible for building and running a lifecycle marketing system, not just sending communications. That includes how we segment members, how we plan and sequence campaigns around renewals, expansions, and product launches, and how we ensure every touchpoint answers: does this reinforce confidence, surface opportunity, or both?
You bring a systems mindset to member marketing, evolving from newsletters and ad hoc announcements toward strategic, role-specific, value/benefit-led communication that helps members understand how the platform enables them to do more, do it better, or see what's possible next.
This includes rethinking how we package and deliver information, moving toward shorter, more scannable, and more targeted formats that reflect how different member personas and sectors engage with the platform and services.
This role is focused on making member communications a competitive advantage, ensuring Tessitura shows up consistently, clearly, and strategically at every stage of the member lifecycle, from onboarding through renewal and expansion.
Core ResponsibilitiesDefine & Run the Lifecycle Marketing System
- Guide the direction for how Tessitura communicates with members across the full lifecycle, from onboarding through renewal and expansion
- Translate GTM priorities, member segments, and product direction into a lifecycle marketing approach that supports retention and growth
- Design a cohesive, integrated lifecycle engine across campaigns, member communications, expansion programs, and partner co-sell support
- Build the segmentation framework that ensures members receive communications relevant to their role, organization type, and stage in the lifecycle
- Ensure alignment across Member Services, Learning & Community, Product Marketing, and Partnerships so efforts compound rather than compete
- Make and communicate tradeoffs to focus the team on what drives the most impact
- Continuously evolve the system based on what's working with members, not internal assumptions
Support Retention & Expansion Outcomes
- Own lifecycle marketing's contribution to retention, expansion revenue, and revenue per member
- Partner with Member Services to build campaigns and assets that support renewal conversations, upsell activities (e.g., TNEW, merchant services), and at-risk member engagement
- Reframe product launches as strategic moments that demonstrate platform direction and value, not just feature announcement
- Counter competitive narratives through consistent, value-led communication that reinforces why Tessitura is the right long-term platform
- Identify where the member experience is breaking down and help drive communication changes to address it
- Drive continuous improvements in engagement rates, expansion conversion, and member satisfaction
Partner Collaboratively
- Work closely with Member Services and Revenue Operations to define how lifecycle marketing impact is measured, tracked, and understood in partnership
- Align on definitions for member engagement, expansion signals, and retention risk indicators with Member Services
- Ensure broad visibility into lifecycle performance across member segments and stages
- Use data to challenge assumptions, identify gaps, and drive better decisions about where to focus
Lead Through Direction, Not Just Execution
- Set clear direction for how lifecycle marketing should operate at Tessitura
- Bring structure, focus, and prioritization to a function that has been primarily communications-driven
- Influence cross-functional teams (Member Services, Learning & Community, Product Marketing, Partnerships) on what strengthens member engagement and growth
- Raise that bar on thinking, planning, and accountability across lifecycle marketing
Connect Lifecycle to Pipeline
- Partner with Demand & Pipeline Marketing to identify campaigns, messaging, and content that can be adapted for members (and vice versa)
- Improve handoffs between acquisition and onboarding so new members enter a communication system, not a gap
- Identify opportunities to leverage happy members as referral sources, advocates, and proof points for prospecting
- Help evolve toward a more unified revenue marketing system over time
General Responsibilities
- Actively contribute as a member of the Growth organization to support company goals
- Build strong working relationships across Sales, Marketing, Solutions, Partnerships, Member Success/Services, and Revenue Operations
- Take ownership of outcomes within scope, continuously improving how the system works
- Adapt to evolving priorities while maintaining focus on impact
- Support company DEAI initiatives and contribute to an inclusive, respectful workplace
- Stay current with trends in B2B demand generation, brand-led growth, and AI-driven discovery
Required Skills & Experience
- 6-10+ years of experience in demand generation, lifecycle marketing, customer marketing, or retention marketing in B2B environments
- Has built and run lifecycle marketing systems that connect segmentation, campaign sequencing, and measurement into a repeatable engine
- Strong grasp of lifecycle math: retention rates, expansion conversion, revenue per member, and how to use those numbers to prioritize programs
- Experience building multi-touch campaign sequences across the member journey, not just individual sends
- Strong understanding of segmentation strategy and how to tailor communications to different personas, roles, and lifecycle stages
- Experience designing campaigns and communications that rive measurable retention and expansion
- Ability to translate product launches and platform updates into strategic, value-led member communications
- Experience working cross-functionally customer/member success, product marketing, and operations teams
- Proven ability to use engagement metrics, lifecycle performance, and data to drive continuous improvement
- Strong point of view on what works (and what doesn't) in B2B member and customer marketing
- Active use of AI tools to improve performance, insight, and efficiency
- Comfort with ambiguity and building from scratch
Nice to Have
- Experience with B2B SaaS or enterprise software
- Familiarity with account-based marketing (ABM) approaches
- Experience across both acquisition and lifecycle marketing
- Passion for arts, culture, or mission-driven organizations
Other
- Occasional travel may be required
