1What this role really is

You'll be the architect behind our global loyalty programme's core mechanics, designing the tiering structures, points economy, and personalisation logic. This isn't just about running campaigns; it's about shaping the fundamental rules that drive customer behaviour and make our programme genuinely valuable. You'll be the go-to expert for how the programme actually works, making sure it delivers real commercial impact while keeping our members happy.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

Talon.One (Loyalty & Promotions Engine)Advanced

Designing and architecting complex, multi-layered rules for tiering, promotions, and referrals from scratch. You'll troubleshoot API integration issues with dev teams and push the platform to its limits.

Segment (Customer Data Platform - CDP)Advanced

Tableau (Business Intelligence)Advanced

Building new, complex dashboards from multiple data sources to provide deep-dive analysis on member behaviour and programme performance. You'll use calculated fields and parameters to answer strategic questions from leadership.

Asana (Project & Campaign Management)Advanced

Owning and managing end-to-end project plans for major loyalty campaigns or feature launches, coordinating across multiple teams (Creative, Legal, IT). You're the one making sure everything stays on track.

Excel/Google Sheets (Advanced Modelling)Advanced

Building sophisticated financial models to forecast programme liability, calculate offer ROI, and analyse tier cost-to-serve. You'll use Power Query for data shaping and complex functions for scenario planning.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Active Member Rate (90-day)

The percentage of loyalty members who have made a qualifying purchase or engagement within the last 90 days, indicating programme health and relevance.

Target · Increase by 5% Quarter-over-Quarter (QoQ) for core segments.

If Q2's active member rate was 60%, Q3 should hit 63% for our top-tier members, thanks to your new engagement strategy.

Churn Rate (among members)

The percentage of active loyalty members who become inactive over a specific period, reflecting the programme's ability to retain its base.

Target · Decrease by 10% Year-over-Year (YoY) in key churn segments.

Reducing churn from 20% to 18% in the 'at-risk' segment through targeted win-back offers you designed.

Tier Migration (Upward)

The rate at which members successfully move up to higher programme tiers, indicating the effectiveness of tier benefits and progression pathways.

Target · Achieve 15% upward migration from key entry-level tiers annually.

Seeing 15% of our Silver members qualify for Gold status within a year, driven by the new bonus point mechanics you introduced.

Programme Feature ROI

The return on investment for new loyalty programme features or strategic initiatives you've designed, measured by incremental revenue or cost savings.

Target · Maintain a positive ROI of >120% for all major strategic initiatives (e.g., new tier launch, major offer redesign).

A new 'birthday bonus' feature you designed cost £50K to implement but generated £75K in incremental revenue, giving a 150% ROI.

Strategic Influence & Buy-in

How effectively you get senior stakeholders (like the VP of Marketing or Head of Product) to support and prioritise your loyalty programme strategies.

Your strategic proposals are regularly adopted without significant pushback. You're proactively invited to high-level planning meetings. Other teams actively seek your input on customer retention strategies. You can point to specific instances where your influence led to a major programme decision.

Team Development & Mentorship

The growth and effectiveness of your direct reports, showing your ability to guide and develop talent within the loyalty team.

Your team members consistently meet their individual goals and show clear progression. They come to you for advice on complex problems rather than just answers. You're regularly conducting 1:1s, providing constructive feedback, and helping them navigate career challenges. They feel supported and challenged.

Problem Solving & Ambiguity Management

Your ability to tackle complex, undefined problems within the loyalty space and come up with clear, actionable solutions, even when the data is messy or incomplete.

You're the person who steps in when a new programme challenge emerges without a clear owner. You can break down a vague request into concrete steps. You present well-reasoned options (with pros and cons) rather than just identifying problems. You're comfortable making informed decisions with less than 100% of the information.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Seeing Your Strategy Come to Life

You'll spend your days designing complex programme mechanics, then watching them launch and seeing the impact on customer behaviour and business metrics. It's incredibly satisfying to see your ideas move from a whiteboard sketch to a live programme feature affecting millions.

Launching a new tier structure you designed and seeing a measurable increase in member engagement and spend within the first six months.

Solving Complex Puzzles

This role is full of tricky problems: how do we increase retention without eroding margins? How do we personalise at scale? You'll love digging into data, talking to different teams, and architecting solutions that balance commercial goals with customer needs. It's never boring.

Figuring out why a specific customer segment isn't redeeming points and designing a targeted intervention that actually works.

Mentoring and Building a Team

You'll get a real kick out of guiding your direct reports, helping them grow their skills, and seeing them succeed. You're not just doing the work; you're building the capability within the team, which is hugely rewarding.

Helping a junior analyst present their first major insight to a senior stakeholder, seeing their confidence grow.

What frustrates people

Your critical programme enhancements are perpetually stuck at #17 on an 18-month IT roadmap, behind 'more urgent' projects.
Customer data is a mess, fragmented across multiple systems, making a true single customer view a painful, manual exercise.
The endless debate about whether the programme is actually changing behaviour or just rewarding customers for purchases they would have made anyway.
Having to constantly defend the programme's budget and existence to a skeptical Finance department that views it as an expense, not an investment.
The quarterly meeting with Accounting where you have to explain why the points liability on the balance sheet has increased, even though it's a sign of a healthy, engaging programme.

What this role does not give you

A quiet, predictable environment where plans never change.
Full control over all resources needed to execute your strategy (you'll always be influencing).
A role where you can avoid internal politics or complex stakeholder negotiations.
A guarantee that every single one of your ideas will be implemented immediately.

6Who you work with

This role directly shapes the strategic direction and commercial viability of our global loyalty programme. Your decisions on programme mechanics can directly influence millions of pounds in incremental revenue, customer retention rates, and the overall brand perception among our most valuable customers. You're essentially building the engine that drives long-term customer value across the entire organisation.

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

Proven experience (8+ years) in loyalty programme management, CRM, or a related customer retention role, ideally within a global or large-scale organisation.
Demonstrable track record of designing and implementing significant loyalty programme features or strategic initiatives that delivered measurable commercial results.
Solid experience managing and mentoring junior team members, with a focus on their development and performance.
Advanced proficiency in at least one loyalty engine (e.g., Talon.One, LoyaltyLion) and a CDP (e.g., Segment, Tealium), including complex rule configuration and audience segmentation.
Strong analytical skills, including advanced Excel modelling and experience building dashboards in a BI tool like Tableau or Power BI.
Excellent communication and presentation skills, with a portfolio of strategic documents or presentations to senior leadership. Or equivalent experience that shows you can do the job.

Orchestration of Multi-Channel Customer Journeys

Customers expect seamless experiences across email, app, web, and in-store. Your ability to design and oversee truly integrated loyalty journeys, where every touchpoint is personalised and consistent, will be paramount. This means mastering not just one channel, but how they all work together.

Journey mapping beyond single channels · Real-time decisioning engines · Attribution modelling across channels · Personalisation at scale

This quarter: Deep-dive into Braze's advanced 'Canvas' features, exploring how to build more complex, branching journeys.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Lead Loyalty Programme Strategist is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, you're already doing a lot. Imagine if you could cut down on the grunt work and focus more on the big, strategic thinking that truly moves the needle. That's exactly what AI can do for you in this role.

Our AI Productivity Hub isn't just a buzzword; it's a collection of tools and best practices designed to make your daily life easier. For a Lead Loyalty Programme Strategist, this means less time wrestling with data and more time designing the next big programme innovation. We're talking about real, tangible time savings that let you be more strategic, more creative, and frankly, less stressed.

Personalised Offer Generation

Use generative AI to create hundreds of variations of offer copy and email content, tailored to specific customer segments (e.g., high-spenders, at-risk members). This moves you beyond simple mail-merge to truly dynamic, hyper-personalised messaging, freeing up hours of copywriting and iteration.

Predictive Churn Analysis

Stop guessing. Use AI models to analyse behavioural data and predict which members are most likely to churn in the next 30 days. This allows you to design proactive, targeted retention offers instead of reacting with generic win-back campaigns. It's about being smart with your interventions.

Competitor Programme Deconstruction

Why spend days manually researching what competitors are doing? Use AI agents to scrape, analyse, and summarise the loyalty programmes of key competitors. Generate concise reports on their tier structures, benefits, earn/burn rates, and recent promotions to inform your strategic planning in minutes, not days.

Automated Stakeholder Reporting

Connect AI to your BI tools (like Tableau) to auto-generate natural language summaries of weekly programme performance. This can draft the initial version of your monthly stakeholder update email, highlighting key trends, wins, and challenges, saving you valuable time on routine comms.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Lead Loyalty Programme Strategist, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 1 national skill standard. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Lead Loyalty Programme Strategist: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

15Where to go from here

Other roles at Level 5

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in Marketing

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll build here—strategic programme design, financial modelling, customer behaviour analysis, and cross-functional influence—are highly transferable. You could move into consulting, product management for a loyalty tech vendor, or even general marketing leadership roles in other industries that value customer retention.

Not sure this is the right direction?

Work out what you actually want from work first, then come back and see which roles fit it. Takes about ten minutes.
