Retention Manager, Mous

• You’re a commercially minded, data-driven marketer who is excited by the opportunity to turn insights into growth
• Being commercial and analytical is essential, but just as important is your ability to generate ideas for testing, whether that’s copy, imagery, or cohorts
• With an entrepreneurial and impact-driven mindset, you would actively shape performance through experimentation and iteration, analysing the data to inform the ongoing strategy and plans
• You’ll ideally have experience within DTC or consumer-based brands and understand how retention fits into the wider commercial engine
• You know how to define what good looks like through building clear reporting structures, setting meaningful success, and ensuring the team has visibility on performance
• You bring a structured, hypothesis-led approach to improvement
• You’re confident building testing frameworks that turn ideas into experiments, and experiments into scalable learnings that improve customer engagement and long-term value
• As the owner of retention at Mous, you’ll be hungry to evolve what already exists, bringing fresh thinking, analytical rigour, and a strong commercial mindset to help unlock the next phase of customer growth
• Hands-on Klaviyo expertise (or comparable ESP) – building flows, segments and campaigns independently
• 2–4 years in CRM / retention / lifecycle marketing, ideally at a DTC ecommerce or consumer brand
• Confident with retention metrics – LTV, repeat purchase rate, churn, cohort analysis
• Demonstrable record of growing repeat purchase rate and CRM-driven revenue
• Commercial and analytical mindset
• Self-starter able to own a channel end-to-end in a fast-paced, lean team
• Strong copy and creative judgement; able to take ideas from concept to live test independently across email and SMS

• We’re looking for a Retention Manager to own and accelerate one of the biggest growth opportunities at Mous
• This is a high-impact role where you’ll take ownership of retention end-to-end by shaping the strategy, building the roadmap, and maximising the value of our growing customer base.

• Own and optimise the email & SMS programme in Klaviyo – building and reporting on lifecycle flows (welcome, post-purchase, abandonment, win-back) and the weekly campaign calendar
• Develop the CRM/retention roadmap and customer segmentation across the full post-purchase journey
• Plan and run A/B tests on creative, offers, subject lines and send times, and report against retention KPIs
• Own retention reporting – repeat purchase rate, customer LTV, churn and email/SMS revenue – and surface insights to the wider Ecommerce team
• ✔️How will success be measured?
• Retention established as a fully owned function, with a clear CRM strategy, lifecycle framework, and reporting in place
• Growth in repeat purchase rate and CRM-attributed revenue against agreed targets
• Strong segmentation and testing framework driving continuous, measurable improvements in customer performance
