At Novig, we have reimagined the sports betting landscape by building a sweepstakes-based sports prediction market. Our innovative platform allows users to engage in sports predictions without traditional gambling constraints. By leveraging the sweepstakes model, we ensure compliance with regulatory requirements while providing a unique, engaging, and profitable experience for our users. Our goal is to make sports prediction more accessible, fair, and enjoyable.

Novig’s founders, Jacob and Kelechi, are recent Harvard grads with experience at Jane St & BoA who started Novig with the belief that a commission-free P2P exchange model will replace the exploitative and unprofitable betting model of traditional sportsbooks. They themselves were sophisticated sports bettors who grew increasingly frustrated by the latency, discriminatory practices, monotony, and non-profitability of the retail sports betting experience.

As the regulatory landscape evolves in the United States, Novig is positioned to become a leading innovator with our unique focus on research and technology.

About the Role

We’re looking for a data-driven CRM & Lifecycle Marketing Manager to own customer retention, engagement, and reactivation at Novig — the world’s first sweepstakes-based sports prediction exchange. You’ll be responsible for developing and executing multi-channel campaigns that deepen user engagement, increase LTV, and strengthen brand loyalty.

You’ll collaborate cross-functionally across product, engineering, trading, and brand to design personalized journeys that bring our predictive markets to life — from onboarding to loyalty.

Responsibilities

• Own the full CRM lifecycle: build, launch, and optimize campaigns across email, push, SMS, and in-app messaging.
• Segment and personalize: leverage behavioral and transactional data to create targeted audience segments, personalized triggers, and automated flows.
• Experiment & optimize: design and run A/B tests to improve conversion, retention, and reactivation performance; measure and communicate results.
• Upsell & loyalty: design campaigns that encourage repeat participation, cross-market engagement, and referral growth.
• Data-driven insights: analyze user behavior, funnel metrics, and retention trends to inform lifecycle strategy and product improvements.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: partner with Product Marketing, Product, Engineering, Trading, and Design to ensure a seamless customer journey across touch points.
• Editorial strategy: develop and coordinate newsletter and in-app editorial content highlighting featured markets, educational insights, and community updates.
• Lifecycle infrastructure: contribute to CRM system setup, automation logic, and integrations with analytics and data infrastructure.

Daily Focus Areas

• Campaign management (notifications, segmentation, onboarding, and retention flows)
• Coordination of A/B and multivariate tests for product features by segment
• LTV modeling and retention forecasting in partnership with Analytics
• Content curation across email, web, and in-app channels — ensuring brand alignment
• Supporting the data pipeline and tagging strategies for lifecycle metrics tracking

What You Bring

• 3–6 years of experience in CRM, lifecycle marketing, or retention strategy — ideally in a venture-backed consumer tech, gaming, or fintech company
• Strong understanding of user segmentation, personalization, and lifecycle automation tools (Braze, Iterable, Customer.io, HubSpot, etc.)
• Analytical mindset and comfort working with data (SQL or BI tools a plus)
• Proven track record running multi-channel CRM programs that drive measurable growth
• Exceptional communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
• Interest or experience in sports betting, trading, or prediction markets a strong plus
• Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business, Statistics, or a related field
