About the Customer Retention Team

We turn one-time bookers into loyal, repeat Kiwi.com travelers across the entire lifecycle. Operating as a high-talent, AI-native squad, we treat our database as a growth engine—running omnichannel campaigns for millions of customers while leveraging AI to segment more effectively, personalize at scale, and ship faster. If you want your work to directly drive customer lifetime value and company revenue through constant experimentation, you’ll fit right in.

What you will do

• Shape and drive the overall retention and lifecycle marketing strategy by turning business goals into CRM initiatives that directly boost repeat bookings, engagement, and customer loyalty.

• Own lifecycle communications end-to-end across email, push, in-app, and web banners—partnering closely with product teams to keep touchpoints seamless, consistent, and impactful.

• Plan, execute, and optimize high-impact omnichannel campaigns from audience definition to launch, using A/B testing and cohort analysis to continuously refine performance.

• Integrate AI tools into your daily workflow to brainstorm ideas, build ROI estimates, draft and variant-test copy, refine segmentation, and automate routine tasks into repeatable processes.

• Drive key retention KPIs like repeat booking frequency, customer lifetime value, and churn reduction while partnering with data teams to turn cohort insights into quick decisions.

• Scale automated programs by finding fresh opportunities where AI and automation can close gaps in personalization and lifecycle journeys.

• Collaborate cross-functionally as the go-to partner for retention topics, aligning lifecycle strategies with broader company milestones.

What you will need

• Fluent English skills (both written and spoken) with a knack for communicating clearly, thoughtfully, and empathetically across global teams.

• A proven track record in CRM, lifecycle marketing, or retention where you’ve successfully designed and scaled customer engagement strategies.

• Hands-on comfort with AI tools, including effective prompting, chaining AI into real daily workflows, and critically evaluating outputs to build smarter campaigns.

• An analytical mindset with strong proficiency in reading customer data, identifying patterns, and turning insights into direct action.

• Deep familiarity with customer lifecycle management, segmentation, A/B testing, personalization, and marketing automation tools.

• Strategic vision combined with execution strength—you love setting the direction just as much as launching the campaigns yourself.
