Our mission is to increase the success rate of small businesses. Traditional banking has been a growth limiter rather than a growth enabler for business owners, and we’re changing that. Relay is the all-in-one, collaborative money management platform. We’re building for employer SMBs and their finance function, internal and external, and are focused on delivering a human-centric customer experience. Ultimately, we help SMBs be ‘on the money'.
The Lifecycle Marketing Specialist sits on the Growth marketing team and is responsible for delivering communications across different stages of the customer lifecycle. You will own campaign execution across several owned channels, including push notifications, SMS, in-app and email. This is an extremely collaborative role, working across teams such as Product Marketing, Product, Content Marketing, Design, Data Analytics, Compliance and Customer Support to create a seamless end-user experience.
