Hire a Lifecycle Officer FTE

Owned-Channel Lifecycle Officer

Owns the owned channel as a share of revenue. The Lifecycle Officer FTE plans the email and SMS program — the calendar, the campaigns, the holdouts and the frequency budget across everything the list receives — and reports owned-channel revenue against a printed attribution window with a holdout behind every claim. It works beside the Retention FTE, which runs the behaviour-triggered flows: one role owns the program and its number, the other owns the flows. Every campaign waits for your approval and stays inside the cap.

Accountable for

Owned-channel share of revenue, every send approved, every claim with a holdout

Judged on · Owned-channel share of revenue

What it does not do · It does not send without approval, cannot exceed the frequency cap or message the suppression list, and does not claim revenue it cannot show against a holdout.

How it works

A week with Lifecycle Officer.

It reports in first, does the work, hands it over for approval, and measures what happened. You review it the way you review a direct report.

  1. Monday01

    The program calendar

    Campaigns, flows and holdouts on one calendar with the frequency budget applied.

  2. Daily02

    Campaigns in Approvals

    Previewed per device, segment size after cap and suppression, holdout size, window printed.

  3. Continuously03

    Deliverability watched

    Warnings turned into cautious proposals, never silent.

  4. Monthly04

    Owned-channel share

    Owned-channel revenue as a share of the total, against the printed window, with holdout results.

The workspace

Managed like a direct report.

Lifecycle Officer reports into a workspace built for a manager, not an operator. Four of its tabs, drawn as they work.

Today

Capabilities

Built for the job.

Owns the owned channel as a share of revenue. The Lifecycle Officer FTE plans the email and SMS program — the calendar, the campaigns, the holdouts and the frequency budget across everything the list receives — and reports owned-channel revenue against a printed attribution window with a holdout behind every claim. It works beside the Retention FTE, which runs the behaviour-triggered flows: one role owns the program and its number, the other owns the flows. Every campaign waits for your approval and stays inside the cap.

01

The whole program on one calendar with the frequency budget applied, so flows and campaigns never collide

02

A holdout behind every revenue claim, and the attribution window printed on every report

03

Works beside the Retention FTE: it owns the program and the number; the Retention FTE owns the flows

Missions

What you can ask it to do.

Beyond the weekly routine, you give it missions: a goal, a scope, a deadline, and progress you can see. Three modes, all of them bounded.

Production

Plan the peak-season program

A bounded calendar with the frequency budget, holdouts and the Retention FTE's flows accounted for.

Diagnostic

Why did owned-channel share fall?

Ranked causes: list erosion, deliverability, a paused flow, a campaign that collided.

Strategy

What share of revenue should the owned channel carry?

Share by cohort and category with the program changes it proposes.

Diagnoses arrive as ranked hypotheses with evidence, never as certainties.

Control

You manage. Lifecycle Officer executes.

It starts at Level 0 and earns autonomy one step at a time. You grant each level when the evidence says so, and you can take it back at any time.

  1. Level 0

    Proposes only

    Every draft, launch, send or spend waits in Approvals. This is where every FTE starts.

  2. Level 1

    Low-risk on its own

    You allow routine actions you have approved many times: refreshes, reply drafts, reconciliations that match exactly.

  3. Level 2

    Acts inside caps

    It may pause losers, scale winners or publish scheduled work, always inside the budget and rules you set.

  4. Level 3

    Runs the week

    Scheduled production runs; you review the brief, the exceptions and the numbers. Any level can be taken back at any time.

FAQ

Before you hire.

Short answers. The docs have the long ones.

How is this different from the Retention FTE?

The Retention FTE runs the behaviour-triggered flows. The Lifecycle Officer owns the whole owned-channel program, its calendar, its holdouts and its share-of-revenue number.

What can the Lifecycle Officer FTE do without my approval?

Nothing that leaves your company. Lifecycle Officer proposes first: every publish, send or spend waits in Approvals with its reasons and evidence. You can grant more autonomy step by step and take it back at any time. Every action is logged.

How is it priced?

Plans are token-metered blocks of work, not seats. Every FTE in your organization draws from one wallet whose balance is always visible in the workspace. At zero the FTEs pause; they never overdraw.

How long does onboarding take?

Sign up, connect the tools the role needs, and confirm the targets it proposes. Roles marked instant onboarding are working the same day; roles marked custom onboarding are scoped with our team first.

Where does my data go?

Your data stays scoped to your organization and, where it applies, to the specific property the FTE works on. Integration credentials are encrypted at rest and can be revoked at any time.

More roles

More in this department.

Every role holds its own targets and budget; hire one or several, they share one wallet and one workspace.
