About Primal Queen
At Primal Queen, we're on a mission to help women thrive through ancestral nutrition and high-quality, whole-food supplements. We believe women deserve better than synthetic ingredients, overcomplicated wellness advice, and products that don't deliver.
We're building one of the fastest-growing brands in women's wellness, and we're looking for a Lifecycle Marketing Manager to help deepen our relationship with customers long after their first purchase.
This is a high-impact role for someone who loves both strategy and execution—someone excited to own the customer journey, drive retention, and create meaningful experiences that turn first-time buyers into lifelong advocates.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys combining data-driven decision making with compelling storytelling.
