Fitt Talent Partners is a specialized recruitment firm working with top health and wellness companies.
We’re filling this role for a client, a health and fitness wearables company for people who live active, intentional lives.
The Opportunity
Today, no single person here owns the customer once they have engaged with the brand, whether that is a first site visit, an abandoned cart, or a purchase. Retention work is split between the Brand team, the Performance team, and an outside agency. The Customer Retention Lead pulls all of it under one owner: Klaviyo, email and SMS, lifecycle flows, segmentation, and the strategy behind them.
This person becomes the one who actually knows our customer journey end to end and is accountable for every touchpoint from first engagement onward: lead capture and nurture, abandoned browse and cart, purchase, product education, and repeat. The opportunity is large and specific. We have 2.2 million historical customers and an active email base of roughly 800,000, and most of them have never been introduced to our wearables. We sell hundreds of silicone rings a day and a few dozen smart devices. Closing that gap is the job.
The customer journey does not stop at the inbox: product pages, cart, post-purchase pages, account pages, and the loyalty, referral, and subscription apps that sit on Shopify are all part of retention.
What You’ll Do
Retention Strategy and Ownership
-
Own the customer journey across email, SMS, and onsite touchpoints, and be the single point of accountability for retention revenue.
-
Audit the current program in the first 30 days: existing Klaviyo flows (mapped today in Figma), campaign cadence, segmentation, list health, deliverability, and the prior agency's work, and produce a prioritized plan with targets.
-
Define and report on the two headline metrics for this role, lead conversion and silicone-to-smart-device upsell rate, alongside repeat purchase rate, LTV, list growth, and flow and campaign revenue.
Lifecycle Flows and Campaigns
-
Build, rebuild, and maintain the full flow library in Klaviyo: welcome and lead nurture drips, abandoned browse, cart, and checkout, post-purchase and onboarding, cross-sell from silicone rings to smart devices, replenishment and re-engagement, winback, and sunset.
-
Design the smart device onboarding and education sequence (sizing kit, app setup, feature discovery, HSA/FSA eligibility) so new wearable customers reach their first week of use.
-
Plan the email and SMS campaign calendar with Brand, including product drops, seasonal moments (Valentine's Day, wedding season, BFCM, holiday), and audience-specific programs for first responders, military, and athletes.
