At Trafilea, subscription retention isn’t just about renewals—it’s about creating long-term value, seamless experiences, and unlocking sustainable revenue growth. We believe that the true power of subscriptions lies in personalization, engagement, and continuous value delivery. Our mission is to optimize and scale our subscription models, ensuring that both existing and potential subscribers experience compelling, high-value membership offerings that keep them engaged and loyal over time.

As Retention Manager – Subscriptions (Apparel), you will be at the forefront of driving recurring revenue from our existing paid members while unlocking untapped opportunities within our 10M+ customer base. You will lead strategic retention initiatives across our Shapermint Club, Shapermint Club Pro, Truekind Elite Club, Shapermint Club Plus (ShaperBox), Product Autoship, and Try Before You Buy programs—maximizing LTV, reducing churn, and improving repurchase rates. Through data-driven experimentation, automation, and lifecycle marketing, you will craft and optimize multi-channel retention strategies—leveraging Email, SMS, Push Notifications, and Paid Media to engage members and convert non-subscribers into loyal customers. Working cross-functionally with Data Science, Creative, IT, and Growth teams, you will prioritize high-impact campaigns, implement advanced retention methodologies, and scale winning strategies. If you are a subscription growth expert who thrives in fast-paced, data-driven environments and loves building retention strategies that drive profitability, this role is your opportunity to shape the future of subscription retention at Trafilea.

• Measure and Track Subscription Cohort Metrics: Monitor key indicators such as Activation Rate, Churn Rate, Net Collection Rate, LTV, Survival Rates, AOV, Repurchase Rates, Trial Conversion Rate, and % of orders with subscription across all programs.

• Weekly Reporting and Analysis: Prepare and deliver weekly performance reports by program, covering revenue, profit, repurchase rates, customer growth, and channel metrics (CTR, CVR, Unsubscription Rate), highlighting blockers and improvement areas.

• Daily & Weekly Operational Cadence: Participate in daily and weekly team rituals, reporting on priorities, results, channel performance, and potential blockers.

• Strategic Planning & Roadmapping: Define strategic maps for each subscription program, setting quarterly goals and building a detailed roadmap of initiatives, deadlines, and accountable owners.
