Simplistic is looking for a Retention Analyst to support our growing Retention Strategy team. This role is ideal for someone who loves turning data into actionable insights, is passionate about understanding customer behavior, and wants to contribute to the development of best-in-class lifecycle strategies.

You’ll work alongside senior strategists and cross-functional teams to analyze customer data, identify trends, and inform the design of retention programs that keep customers coming back.

This is not an account or campaign management role — you will not be managing client relationships or executing day-to-day campaigns. Instead, you’ll focus on data analysis, strategic reporting, and insight generation that powers retention strategy across Simplistic’s client portfolio.
