Lead Product Development Manager: Retention Strategy

We are seeking a strategic professional to support retention strategy across the full DIRECTV FOR BUSINESS product suite. This role will combine lifecycle management, customer insights, financial acumen, and business case development to identify churn risks and opportunities, and translate them into actionable recommendations for churn mitigation, including messaging, offers, and tactics, as well as shifts in sales strategy. 

The ideal candidate has worked closely with, or within, a marketing organization and understands how customer insights turn into campaigns, offers, and in-market programs. This individual will serve as a strategic thought partner to Marketing and Sales, helping leaders understand where customers are in their lifecycle, why they may be at risk, what it means for the business, and which actions will most effectively keep and grow valuable customers. 

Here’s what you’ll do:  

• Support customer lifecycle management strategy, from onboarding and early tenure through renewal, contract expiration, and save/win-back moments, to strengthen engagement and reduce churn. 

• Partner closely with Marketing to inform retention campaigns, offer construction, and customer communications, and help evaluate what is working in market. 

• Collaborate with Sales and Care leaders to identify and recommend shifts in sales strategy, save approaches, and offer positioning that improve retention outcomes. 

• Develop business cases for retention initiatives and offers, including key assumptions, expected impact, risks, and trade-offs. 

• Apply strong financial and business acumen to understand customer value, offer economics, and the revenue impact of retention decisions. 

• Partner cross-functionally with Finance, Product, Operations, Customer Care, and Business Analytics to align on and execute retention initiatives. 

• Proactively identify emerging lifecycle trends, risks, and opportunities and bring forward clear, actionable recommendations. 

What you’ll need to be successful: 

• Experience working within or in close partnership with a marketing organization, ideally in retention, lifecycle, CRM, or customer marketing. 

• Solid understanding of customer lifecycle management and churn drivers, with the ability to translate insights into messaging, offer, and tactical recommendations. 

• Comfort working with data and performance reporting to inform recommendations and measure results. 

• Financial acumen and experience developing business cases to support offers, campaigns, or strategic decisions.
