• At least 5 years in a functional leadership or management role.
• Proven experience leading large-scale customer, rewards or engagement programmes in a complex, multi-brand and/or retail environment.
• Experience working cross-functionally with analytics, testing, technology, digital, operations and external partners.
• Strong commercial acumen and an ability to translate customer strategy into measurable business outcomes.
• Strong stakeholder leadership and the ability to influence across multiple brands and executive teams.
• Experience in retail, multi-brand or customer ecosystem environments will be highly advantageous.

Key Performance Areas and Competencies

• Lead the overall rewards strategy and growth agenda for +more.
• Drive performance across tracked revenue, customer identification, member engagement, retention and commercial value.
• Shape customer journeys, CRM and lifecycle programmes that improve participation and long-term customer value.
• Grow digital engagement across the App and other channels, including utility-led and engagement-led experiences.
• Work closely with their brands and operating companies to support loyalty-led acquisition, conversion, scan behaviour and shared growth.
• Use customer insights, analytics and programme reporting to inform decisions and unlock new opportunities.
• Identify and support new monetisation opportunities linked to customer engagement, partnerships and the broader company ecosystem.
• Lead a cross-functional operating model that brings together internal teams, specialist partners and shared capabilities.
• Manage the loyalty and rewards budget.

This is an opportunity to shape the future of +more as a major customer-value platform, one that already influences customer frequency, cross-shopping, digital engagement and linked revenue, and which plays an important role in the group’s broader customer and commercial growth strategy.
