What are the responsibilities and job description for the WeNatal Retention & Lifecycle Manager position at WeNatal?
Location: Remote (Los Angeles preferred)
Type: Full-Time
WeNatal is redefining how couples prepare for parenthood. We’re the first prenatal supplement brand designed for both women and men, rooted in functional medicine, clean ingredients, and the belief that fertility is a shared journey.
Founded by two moms who’ve walked this path themselves, WeNatal empowers couples through science-backed products, education, and community. Our mission is to help people feel seen, supported, and equipped for one of the most meaningful chapters of their lives.
We’re looking for a highly strategic, deeply creative Retention & Lifecycle Manager to elevate every touchpoint in our customer journey—from the moment someone discovers WeNatal through their long-term relationship with the brand.
This is not a plug-and-play retention role. We are a premium, mission-driven brand that does not rely on discounts. Instead, we create loyalty through education, trust, personalization, and elevated experiences.
We need someone who understands how to build devotion, not promotions—someone smart, scrappy, and inventive who can turn lifecycle marketing into a growth engine.
You will partner closely with the founders, marketing, customer service, and creative teams to architect high-impact lifecycle journeys that increase retention, improve subscription performance, and deepen emotional connection with our customers.
- Own the full lifecycle strategy: pre-purchase, post-purchase, subscription, churn-prevention, and reactivation flows.
- Develop advanced segmentation and personalization to create genuinely 1:1-feeling experiences at scale.
- Build retention strategies based on education, value, and premium experience—not discounts.
- Continuously optimize flows (creative, timing, triggers, segmentation) to improve open rates, CTR, conversion, and LTV.
- Develop dynamic, behavior-based automations that respond intelligently to customer actions and needs.
- Reimagine the post-purchase flow to feel elevated, human, and aligned with our mission—from order confirmations to nurture sequences to replenishment pathways.
- Partner with customer service to ensure the WeNatal tone, care, and “premium touch” is experienced at every interaction.
- Architect memorable moments across the journey to increase brand love and long-term engagement—without relying on promotional tactics.
- Collaborate on creative education and support content that empowers customers and drives product success.
- Own subscription performance: adoption, retention, skip behavior, churn signals, and long-term LTV.
- Build strategies that increase subscription stickiness through value, education, and personalization—not discounts.
- Identify moments for high-integrity upsell and cross-sell across the WeNatal ecosystem (Prenatal → Omega → Egg Quality → Protein → Magnesium Rest Digest).
- Analyze retention and cohort data to uncover new opportunities for loyalty and repeat purchase.
- Own lifecycle analytics and reporting—establish KPIs, monitor performance, and share insights with founders and cross-functional teams.
- Build dashboards and retention forecasts that help guide marketing and product strategy.
- Use qualitative and quantitative insights to continually refine lifecycle journeys and brand experience.
- Partner with marketing, customer service, creative, operations, and the founders to ensure a cohesive, elevated, and frictionless customer journey.
- Support new product launches, campaigns, and partnerships with retention-first strategies.
- Maintain operational excellence, documentation, consistency, and executional rigor—while still thinking outside the box to push the brand forward.
You are not a template operator or discount-driven marketer. You’re a builder, a storyteller, a strategist, and a creative problem solver. You know that premium brands grow through value, trust, and experience—not coupons.
You Are:- Experienced with premium, elevated, or mission-led brands where retention is built on relationship, not promotions.

- Entrepreneurial and comfortable in a fast-moving, high-accountability startup environment where your ideas matter.
- Passionate about wellness, functional medicine, and helping couples feel empowered on their fertility journey.
