About the position
As Head of CRM, you lead an integral area of neon’s company strategy.

You will lead the CRM team of 5, closely cooperate with the Customer Data & Product teams and work directly with the CMO.
You will be empowered to further deepen your expertise in lifecycle marketing, client engagement and the Swiss fintech and banking market, while shaping how AI and automation scale neon’s communications impact.
What this job offers
- Own end-to-end lifecycle marketing – design and scale behaviour-triggered CRM journeys (onboarding, activation, retention, win-back) across email, push, in-app, and SMS to improve customer activation, satisfaction and LTV growth.
