Job Description

About Inspira Education

Inspira Education Group is one of the fastest-growing edtech startups in the US. We started with a simple mission to democratize access to high-quality coaching so that every student in the world has an equal opportunity to access the best opportunities.

As the world’s leading network of top admissions coaches in medical, legal, business, and college studies, we’re building software and services in one place—disrupting long-entrenched application processes with products and experiences that strive to provide an equal platform for candidates from diverse backgrounds worldwide.

As one of the fastest-growing edtech firms in the world, we are backed by some of the leading venture capital firms and investors in the world, including Zeev Ventures, Quiet Capital, Craft Ventures, Jeff Fluhr (Founder of Stubhub), and David Sacks (Former COO of PayPal and Founder of Yammer).

The Role

We’re looking for a strategic, hands-on Lifecycle Marketing Manager to drive acquisition and engagement across our portfolio of brands. In this role, you’ll own our full CRM communication strategy by optimizing engagement with existing contacts while expanding our email list and driving more free consultations.

You’ll lead campaign execution, A/B testing, and personalization efforts, supported by a CRM Manager, to maximize performance without compromising brand integrity. You’ll collaborate closely with marketing, product, and sales teams to refine our push notification strategy and deepen app engagement.

You’ll thrive in this role if you’re a data-driven marketer with a strong analytical mindset, deep expertise in platforms like Braze, Iterable, or HubSpot, and a passion for continuous experimentation. You’re comfortable balancing strategic thinking with tactical execution and enjoy working cross-functionally with Sales, SEO, Performance Marketing, Online Events, Customer Success, and Social Media teams to launch programs that deliver results.

Your north star metric? Consultations generated from our contact database.

If you’re excited to build impactful lifecycle programs that create meaningful customer relationships and drive real business outcomes then we’d love to hear from you.

While this role is open to remote candidates initially, we are building our team in New York City and are prioritizing candidates who are open to relocating. We’ll provide relocation assistance and can share more details during the process.

What You'll Do

  • Own the end-to-end strategy and execution of lifecycle marketing programs, building clear and personalized user journeys that drive acquisition, engagement, conversion, and retention
  • Analyze cohort and segment performance regularly to uncover trends, understand the “why” behind user behavior, and develop actionable insights that inform strategy
  • Develop and execute a robust experimentation roadmap to increase acquisition, engagement, and lifetime value through A/B testing and continuous optimization
  • Create and manage sophisticated email and SMS campaigns, including drip sequences, targeted newsletters, transactional messages, and upgrade flows, all aimed at increasing product engagement and driving conversion
  • Identify drop-off points within the user journey and implement targeted, trigger-based campaigns to address friction and improve key KPIs
  • Ensure compliance with deliverability best practices and maintain a strong sender reputation across all messaging platforms (email and SMS)
  • Leverage customer segmentation and persona development to tailor messaging, offers, and campaigns that resonate with high-potential customer groups
  • Collaborate closely with the data team to define and build end-to-end lifecycle reporting and track performance across channels
  • Lead and grow a team of lifecycle marketers, acting as both a player and coach — mentoring team members, advocating for their work, and rolling up your sleeves to contribute directly when needed
  • Ensure consistent and personalized messaging across the funnel, delivering the right message to the right person at the right time through the right channel
  • Track and report on campaign performance and KPIs, such as lead volume, conversion rates, pipeline growth, LTV, and ROI; provide recommendations to optimize results
  • Forecast marketing outcomes and track progress toward growth and revenue goals
  • Stay on the cutting edge of AI and martech tools, proactively identifying and implementing technologies that improve efficiency, personalization, and performance across lifecycle programs

Who You Are

  • 6–8+ years of lifecycle marketing experience, ideally in high-consideration or long-sales-cycle environments that require thoughtful lead nurturing strategies
  • 2–3 years of experience managing and scaling high-performing teams
  • Deep expertise in HubSpot; familiarity with Braze, Iterable, or similar tools is a strong plus
  • Proficiency in email and SMS marketing automation, including segmentation, triggers, and personalized flows
  • Bonus points for experience working with customer data platforms (CDPs) like Simon Data, Iterable, or Optimove
  • Basic working knowledge of SQL and comfort querying data
  • Strong understanding of HTML and template scripting languages (e.g., Jinja, Django, or ESP-specific templating systems)
  • Exceptional copywriting skills with a proven ability to engage target audiences and iterate on messaging based on performance data
  • Highly analytical mindset, with a track record of using data to inform campaign strategy and drive measurable results
  • Familiarity with Looker or experience in data transformation is a plus
  • A balance of creative thinking and analytical rigor. Someone who can conceptualize big ideas and dive into the data
  • Comfortable rolling up your sleeves and getting into the weeds. A builder, not just a strategist
  • Able to translate data into clear insights and actionable marketing strategies

What We Look For

  • A passion for cultivating authentic connections
  • Individuals who embody a winning attitude
  • A mindset fueled by curiosity
  • Determination to hustle and overcome challenges
  • An infectious enthusiasm and adaptability
  • Boundless energy and relentless tenacity

The targeted pay range for this role is: $135,000-$165,000 (including performance bonus). Actual salary is dependent upon several factors, including the applicant's experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity among our team and geographic location. The pay ratio between base pay and target incentive will be finalized at the offer. The pay range is subject to the discretion of the Company.


Why you'll love Inspira

  • Amazing people with a great vision and values
  • Ability to work directly with co-founders and drive impact super quickly
  • Your work directly impacts the lives and careers of students across the globe
  • Remote-first team across the US and Canada
  • 100% coverage of health, vision, and dental benefits
  • Flexible Paid-time Off
  • Ownership - Significant Company Equity as part of a compensation package
  • Learning and Development Budget
  • Retirement Savings Plans - 401k with matching
  • Diversity and inclusion programs that promote employee resource groups like OWN (Outreach Women's Network), AAPI, Rainbow (LGBTQIA+), Gender+, LatinX, Black Excellence, Disability Community, and Veterans
  • Note: certain benefits are not provided to 1099 contract worker

Safe Remote Job Search Tips

Verify Employer Thoroughly

Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.

Never Pay to Get a Job

Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.

Safeguard Your Personal Information

Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.

Scrutinize Communication & Interviews

Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.

Beware of Unrealistic Offers

If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.

Insist on a Formal Contract

Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
