• Engage and influence diverse collaborators, securing alignment from multiple internal partners across the organisation.
• Build and maintain strong partner relationships with loyalty vendors, sponsors, KOLs, affiliates, and other external stakeholders—continuously exploring new partnership opportunities.
• Lead partner and contract negotiations, ensuring operational excellence across B2C, B2B, and B2B2C loyalty programs.
• Ensure seamless execution across channels, loyalty platforms, suppliers, distributors, and customer touchpoints, delivering a unified end‑to‑end experience.
• Monitor, measure, and optimise program performance, empowering the team to extract insights and drive continuous improvement.
• Shape future technology capability by providing ongoing feedback to NoEs and championing enhanced customer journeys and loyalty innovation.
• Deliver loyalty and CRM KPIs related to MROI, P&L performance, brand health, customer metrics, SLA adherence, and increased asset utilisation.
• Manage significant budgets, providing inputs to budget planning and ensuring responsible financial stewardship.
