Information about the position
Member Lifecycle Domain
At Vinted we are devoted to making second-hand the first choice worldwide. And we know that we can only get there if we invest strategically to be able to expand fast and grow further. That is why we are establishing a new ‘Member Lifecycle’ domain, focused on building and executing a world-class customer engagement strategy. This domain will make a significant impact on the end to end experience for 80 million Vinted users, by taking ownership of communication and engagement strategy, enhancing activation and retention, and bridging the critical gaps between marketing and product. The team will directly own many customer-serving capabilities, and for others will operate in a matrix with other Product and non-Product teams, in particular Marketing.
This is a newly created domain: as a leader you will work with your functional peers to evaluate status quo, construct long-term vision, hire talent, build team culture, processes and domain strategy from the ground up.
When you start in this role you will be responsible for ramping up a high-performance product function. This will include setting domain goals, delivering on already identified opportunities, hiring, and building product vision to guide the domain going forward.
