About Lorien Finance
Lorien Finance is transforming global education financing by bridging the gap between Western capital and underserved students in emerging economies. In our first year, we disbursed $22M in loans and partnered with global institutions like Sallie Mae to support students pursuing higher education at top international universities. As we scale, we’re building a tech-first, human-driven ecosystem that simplifies loan discovery, application, and disbursal.
About the Role
We’re looking for a CRM Specialist to drive multi-channel engagement with our student and parent audiences. You’ll own the full lifecycle of communication — from awareness to conversion to retention — via email, WhatsApp, SMS, in-app, and more. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of marketing, product, and ops.
Key Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end drip campaigns across Email, WhatsApp, SMS, and in-app notifications for lead nurturing, onboarding, and engagement.
- Design and optimize automated workflows based on lead stage, behavior, and cohort — e.g., instant eligibility check follow-ups, EMI calculators, offer triggers.
- Segment and personalize communications using AI-assisted tools and data insights (from HubSpot, Clearbit, website analytics, etc.).
- Collaborate with content, product, and sales teams to ensure messages align with student journeys and sales stages.
- Continuously improve campaign performance with A / B testing, lead scoring, CTR / CVR analysis, and behavioral triggers.
- Maintain CRM data hygiene, ensure accurate tagging, and track lead-to-disbursement pipelines in sync with loan ops and partner teams.
- Work with automation and AI tools (e.g., HubSpot, n8n, Zapier, ElevenLabs, GPT) to reduce manual touchpoints and scale 1 : 1 communication.
