Jobs at BRUNT Workwear (Now Hiring) — 6 open

What You’ll Do: 

The Retention Marketing Manager owns BRUNT’s lifecycle marketing program across our owned channels, SMS and Email, building the flows and segmentation logic that move customers through the full lifecycle: from list growth (including on-site acquisition) through first purchase, repeat purchase, and long-term loyalty. You architect multi-step, conditional customer journeys with D2C revenue, repeat behavior, and customer lifetime value (LTV) as your north star metrics. You’re also responsible for the broader health of these channels: deliverability, audience growth, engagement, and conversion.

This role is both creative and data driven, obsessed with personalization, knows how to trust but verify, thrives in a fast-paced environment, has a willingness to adapt, and is committed to getting things done. 

How You’ll Do It 

Channel Management 

• Lead the hands-on build of SMS and Email flows directly in Klaviyo & Postscript, partnering with the Email Marketing Associate and creative team on execution and QA.
•  Act as BRUNT’s subject matter expert in SMS and Email, tuning our campaign calendar to prioritize the campaign types that consistently drive revenue and brand engagement.
• Be an authority on copy and design, leveraging past performance data to back decisions, and running a thoughtful A|B testing program across campaigns to continuously optimize on a monthly basis. 
• Run thoughtful A/B tests in Email/SMS flows (welcome, post purchase) that impact BRUNT’s key objectives. Regularly track and maintain A/B test results and report out on performance internally.
• Build and maintain advanced customer segments from behavioral, transactional, and lifecycle data (RFM, purchase history, engagement, product/category affinity) to power segment-specific messaging. 

Platform & Data Management 

• Serve as the in-house Klaviyo & Postscript expert, owning flow architecture, list/segment hygiene, and deliverability configuration without relying on outside developers or agencies.
• Understand how customer and order data moves between systems (Shopify, Klaviyo, Postscript, Rivo) - custom properties, events, and integration syncs — and troubleshoot when data or triggers break. 
• Ensure Email and SMS compliance with CAN-SPAM and TCPA requirements - managing consent capture, opt-out processing, and quiet hours adherence to protect deliverability and limit brand risk. 

Cross-Functional Collaboration 

• Work cross-functionally with the following teams:
  • Acquisition to coordinate ongoing tests/optimizations for new customers (monthly).
  • Operations teams to stay up to speed on product launch plans and inventory positions (weekly).

  • eCommerce team to plan/execute promotional strategy, landing pages, and A|B tests (weekly)
  • Analytics to identify trends in customer behavior that inform tests and strategies, and ongoing maintenance of internal dashboards
  • Loyalty team to align on messaging support for program updates and campaigns (weekly). 

Measurement and Attribution 

• Monitor Email and SMS metrics across campaigns and automated flows / journeys: audience size, open rate, click-through rate, conversion rate, revenue per delivery.
• Monitor contribution of Email/SMS initiatives to corporate objectives & KPIs.
• Track customer and cohort-level performance (LTV, repeat purchase rate, cross-category penetration, RFM/engagement tier migration, cohort retention curves) to show how individual customers and acquisition cohorts progress through the lifecycle over time. 

Retention Strategy 

• Present monthly communication plan to department leadership to align on Email & SMS content strategy.
• Align comms strategy with marketing promotion, inventory planning, and master campaign calendar.
• Partner with Customer Insights to ensure optimal customer data capture, fueling segmentation strategies that power differentiated Email & SMS content paths.
• Drive improvements in cross-category shopping among customers and LTV growth through strategic analysis of customer lifecycle trends, developing incentive/trigger/segment-based strategies to get the right messages in front of the right customers at the right moment to accelerate repeat purchasing growth. 

What You Need to Succeed 

• 2-3+ years of hands-on retention/lifecycle marketing experience, with demonstrated ownership of building (not just briefing) Email and SMS programs 
• Deep, hands-on expertise in Klaviyo & Postscript (or a comparable ESP/SMS provider such as Attentive, Iterable, or Braze) - you can independently build and debug complex, multi-step flows, including conditional splits/if-then branching logic, dynamic content, and API-based triggers, without relying on a developer 
• Comfortable writing basic HTML/CSS and Liquid templating logic (if/else conditional blocks) to personalize content within a single template 
• Strong Excel skills - comfortable building pivot tables, blending data from multiple exports, and turning raw performance data into clean reports and dashboards for leadership 
• Strong command of customer segmentation and data: comfortable building dynamic segments from behavioral and transactional data (RFM, LTV, purchase/engagement history) and mapping them to differentiated content paths 
• Familiarity with data integrations between an ESP/CDP and ecommerce platforms (Shopify) - custom properties, event tracking, and basic troubleshooting when syncs or triggers break; SQL or other data-querying skills a plus 
• Experience with A|B testing 
• Adept in strategic thinking & analytics with a passion for innovation and creative problem solving (familiarity using tools such as Google Analytics, Looker a plus) 
• Demonstrated ability to excel in a demanding and ambiguous environment with competing priorities
