About the Role

Willow Wealth is seeking a Senior Manager of Marketing to develop and lead its customer marketing strategy. This is a hands-on, execution-oriented role for a direct marketer who is equally comfortable setting strategy and building campaigns themselves. You will own the full customer lifecycle - from awareness through conversion, retention, and advocacy - and be directly accountable for driving revenue outcomes through disciplined, data-driven direct marketing. This role is for someone who will genuinely roll up their sleeves, bringing experience in wealth management, asset management, fintech, private markets, or financial services. You are a jack of all direct marketing trades: you can think through segmentation strategy in the morning, write a compelling email sequence in the afternoon, and pull a performance report before end of day.

Key Responsibilities

Own the customer journey and segmentation strategy

• Define and evolve the end-to-end customer lifecycle, from awareness and onboarding through conversion, engagement, and retention
• Develop audience segmentation strategies based on behavioral, transactional, and predictive data to deliver relevant, personalized communications at scale
• Align lifecycle initiatives to business goals and continuously prioritize based on data and customer behavior
• Own personalization strategy ensuring messaging reflects each investor's lifecycle stage, product holdings, and on-platform behavior
• Own retention and reactivation programs including win back journeys, lapse prevention, and re-engagement campaigns for dormant investors

Execute compelling direct marketing campaigns across channels

• Build and manage multi-channel campaigns - email, SMS, and on-platform messaging - with a strong emphasis on the digital journey
• Write and produce high-quality direct marketing copy for email sequences, one-pagers, social content, launch announcements, and investor-facing materials
• Drive conversion, cross-sell, and relationship deepening through well-timed, well-targeted communications that move investors to action

Own measurement and program optimization

• Define and track KPIs across the lifecycle; build reporting routines that surface performance clearly and quickly
• Lead a test-and-learn roadmap to continuously improve conversion, retention, and customer lifetime value
• Collaborate with data and marketing technology teams to strengthen automation, audience targeting, and measurement capability

Drive specific revenue outcomes

• Take direct ownership of marketing's contribution to investor acquisition, activation, and retention targets
• Translate program performance into actionable insights and strategic recommendations for leadership

Partner and lead collaboratively

• Work closely with CRM, Product, Product Strategy, and customer-facing teams to align lifecycle programs with platform capabilities, product launches, and broader go-to-market moments
• Partner with Data to apply predictive models and propensity scoring to lifecycle targeting
• Work within compliance guidelines to ensure all communications meet regulatory requirements

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Communications, Business, Finance, or a related field
• 6–8 years of progressive marketing experience in wealth management, asset management, fintech, private markets, or financial services
• Proven track record of owning and executing direct marketing programs that drive measurable revenue growth in a regulated environment
• Demonstrated ability to operate end-to-end - from strategy through execution - independently and without heavy resourcing
• Experience creating materials for complex financial products or highly regulated industries
• Deep expertise in B2C direct marketing - lifecycle strategy, campaign execution, segmentation, and demand generation
• Strong direct response writing skills; you craft copy that drives action, not just awareness
• Results-oriented and metrics-driven; you measure everything and optimize relentlessly against conversion, retention, and lifetime value
• Hands-on experience applying agentic AI tools and large language models in a marketing context - including using AI to accelerate campaign production, personalization at scale, and marketing automation
• Able to bring this expertise to the broader marketing team and help build organizational capability in this area
• Proficient with marketing automation, email service providers, CRM, and customer data platforms (Braze, Salesforce, Google Analytics, Looker, or similar)
• Highly organized, pragmatic, and collaborative; effective across Product, Investments, Compliance, and leadership
• Resourceful operator with ability to multitask and handle multiple projects simultaneously
• Familiarity with private markets or alternative investments strongly preferred
• Experience at a mid-stage startup is a plus

What's in it for you

• Health, dental & vision coverage with FSA/HSA options
• Unlimited PTO
• 401k match
• Commuter benefit
