About Ridwell

Ridwell is a service that inspires people to create a future without waste. Today, we make it easy to reuse and recycle more by identifying recyclable and reusable items that the city doesn't collect through both our doorstep pickup and mail-in services, connecting those materials with local and national partners that can use them sustainably. Our future plans go much further and include making zero waste a reality for millions.

 

As a B Corp-certified company, sustainability isn't just a company value—it's a fundamental part of our purpose and interests. Our mission is to empower communities to waste less, and every success our team celebrates means more waste saved from the landfill and more valuable donations in the hands of local non-profits.

 

We’re funded and growing quickly and can't wait to add to our team. We offer a strong benefits package, a flexible work and vacation schedule, and a team invested in the personal growth of its employees. Joining our team provides an opportunity to make a meaningful impact with an evolving young company!

Our Values
  • Our member is our hero. Our members are at the core of our company. Only by empowering them can we accomplish our vision.
  • We Never Settle. We are relentlessly pursuing the exceptional and challenging the status quo–always making our service, experience, and company better.
  • We Take Our Success Personally. We all have a stake in the success of Ridwell. You are empowered to make an impact. 
  • Purpose Drives Our Actions. Knowing why we are doing something enables us to focus on what is truly important.
  • We Are Stronger Together. Every person is critical to our success. We need diverse perspectives to execute on creative solutions. By fostering collaboration and connection at every level, we can be phenomenal.


About the Role
Ridwell just launched nationally, and as we grow, we want every member's experience with us to exceed expectations — informative, educational, simple, and meeting people where they are. We're looking for a Lifecycle Marketing Manager to take our lifecycle and retention engine to the next level — building best-in-class onboarding, connecting our channels into one coordinated system, and helping more people succeed at wasting less, for longer.


Responsibilities
  • Own activation, onboarding, and retention strategy across our Pickup and Mail-In products — partnering with Acquisition on onboarding tailored to how members find us, and with our content team on referral messaging and strategy
  • Own lifecycle execution end-to-end — email, SMS, journey building, and QA — while actively identifying where automation and AI can reduce operational overhead
  • Partner with our creative and content team to create clear, inspiring, educational moments for everyone who interacts with the Ridwell brand — across email, SMS, direct mail, and beyond
  • Drive steady progress toward a fully connected lifecycle system, so every member interaction feels timely, intentional, and genuinely useful
  • Partner cross-functionally with Acquisition, Sales, Product, Brand, and Creative to keep the member experience coherent from first touch through long-term retention


Requirements
  • Meaningful experience running lifecycle, CRM, or email/SMS marketing programs — you've owned a program end-to-end and you're excited to do it again
  • Hands-on Iterable platform experience
  • A genuine track record of using data to investigate and decide — you get energized digging into why a number moved, not just reporting that it did
  • Ready to go both high and low: comfortable setting lifecycle strategy and personally owning execution across email, SMS, journey building, and QA
  • Real motivation around member experience and Ridwell's mission — you think about what actually helps someone succeed at wasting less, not just what improves an open rate
  • Bonus: a proven track record of automating execution or admin work through AI or tooling


A Note on Resources
  • You'll have dedicated strategic partnership and real cross-functional support. Growth is a company-wide priority — that includes lifecycle and retention — and you'll work hands-on with our Head of Growth to shape strategy together, especially as you ramp up.
  • You'll never be starved for data. Ridwell has rich member and performance data, plus a dedicated analytics resource ready to support you directly. If something you need doesn't exist yet, we'll build it together.


Benefits
  • Comprehensive healthcare benefits, including medical, vision and dental
  • Flexible vacation and sick leave policy
  • Paid holidays
  • Paid parental leave
  • Flexible spending account for transportation
  • Life insurance and disability
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Discount on a monthly Ridwell subscription
  • 401(k) plan
  • Stock option plan
