Partner with product and UX teams to create in-portal experiences that make our programs easy to understand, easy to participate in, and easy to see progress and success.

Plan and execute cross-channel marketing campaigns to increase program participation, strengthen advocacy, and support growth.

Analyze data, retention trends, and program performance to generate insights, refine strategy, and improve overall success.

Provide clear visibility into program adoption, engagement, and business impact through ongoing reporting and insights.

Stay current on loyalty, rewards, and engagement trends; recommend innovative strategies to enhance both retention and acquisition efforts.

What You’ll Bring:

Minimum of 5 years of experience in product/program marketing with specific expertise in customer loyalty, rewards, and retention programs
