As the Head of CRM & Lifecycle Marketing at Bondora, you'll own the strategy behind how we engage, retain, and grow our existing customers. You'll lead our CRM function, driving lifecycle marketing initiatives that increase customer activity, repeat borrowing, and long-term value.
This is a strategic, hands-on leadership role where you'll work closely with Product, Data, Engineering, Risk, and Country teams to build personalised customer journeys, optimise performance through experimentation and AI, and continuously improve how we connect with customers across every touchpoint.

Your main responsibilities 🎯
- Own Active Customers and Active Balance per Customer: deliver against quarterly targets for both metrics, using lifecycle, reactivation, repeat-loan, refinancing, and add-on initiatives as the levers under direct ownership. Returning applications, originations, and channel ROAS are the key driver metrics to monitor and influence
- Orchestrate Bondora's customer-level engagement system: own the data → decision → orchestration → delivery → outcome → data loop across owned digital surfaces, direct messaging channels, paid media audience syncs, and support surfaces.
- Lead and develop the team: coach and lead three team members while remaining a hands-on leader yourself, in line with Bondora Functional Lead’s expectations.
- Drive cross-functional partnerships: acquisition, product, analytics, engineering, legal, risk, and country managers. Drive prioritisation toward decisions.
- Analyse, learn, iterate: feed performance insights back into model retraining, rules tuning, and channel optimisation.

- AI fluency: Comfortable using AI tools to improve segmentation, campaign optimisation, workflow automation, and marketing insights, with strong judgment on where human oversight is essential.
- 5+ years leading and managing a team.
- Deep expertise in direct channels (email, SMS, WhatsApp, push) across segmentation, automation, performance optimisation.
- Hands-on with modern automation platforms (Braze strongly preferred; Iterable/SFMC/HubSpot acceptable).
