How to Apply for Lifecycle Marketing Manager

at Lime

🏢 About Lime

Lime is the world's largest shared micromobility company, operating electric scooters and bikes in nearly 30 countries and powering over one billion rides. It's a mission-driven, fast-paced environment where you can directly contribute to reducing car dependency and carbon emissions. Working at Lime means joining a Time 100 Most Influential Company that is redefining urban transportation.

About This Role

As the Lifecycle Marketing Manager, you will own the entire rider retention ecosystem, blending marketing analytics, data science, and user experience design. This is a highly technical role where you'll configure Braze webhooks, write HTML templates, and evaluate machine learning models to optimize user states and reward functions. Your work will directly scale Lime's rider base and ensure the CRM acts as a dynamic product feature, not just a messaging channel.

💡 A Day in the Life

You might start by analyzing yesterday's campaign performance, then jump into a Braze session to build a new event-triggered journey for riders who just completed their first trip. Later, you'll meet with data scientists to refine a predictive model for churn, and end the day aligning with product managers on upcoming app features that require lifecycle support.
