Job Description
Primary focus: Support and execute portfolio strategy to drive acquisition, activation, engagement, and incremental spend across credit and debit card portfolios.
Core expertise: Cards portfolio optimization strategy, customer lifecycle management (CLM), and campaign management (design, targeting), with strong familiarity with payments industry rules and card-network/regulatory guidelines.
Responsibilities:
Portfolio Strategy and Performance
- Develop and refine end-to-end strategies to improve KPIs: acquisition, activation, usage, spend per active, retention, cross-/up-sell, attrition reduction, credit losses, and ROI.
- Diagnose performance drivers and recommend segment-level interventions by lifecycle stage.
Customer Lifecycle Management
- Design journeys for onboarding, early engagement, habituation, maturation, retention/win-back; define treatments and test plans (A/B and multivariate).
- Identify friction points and opportunities to accelerate first-use, repeat use, and long-term engagement across digital and partner/merchant channels.
Campaign Strategy, Design, and Execution
- Translate portfolio objectives into campaign strategies: offer constructs, eligibility, targeting rules, suppression logic, and measurement frameworks.
- Insights, Analytics, and Forecasting
- Support analytics to size opportunities and forecast impact (propensity, uplift, CLV, attrition, spend elasticities); drive a disciplined test‑and‑learn roadmap.
- Prepare clear documentation and executive‑ready presentations communicating findings and recommendations to senior stakeholders.
Thought Leadership and Team Contribution
- Monitor market trends (rewards, interchange, merchant offers, embedded finance, tokenization, BNPL, digital wallets) and recommend portfolio interventions.
This is a hybrid position. Expectation of days in the office will be confirmed by your Hiring Manager.
