About the team and the role
The Customer Experience team looks after CRM, retention, loyalty & propositions, and trade marketing, as well as leading the relationship with M&S on joint acquisition and Sparks. We’re responsible for growing and retaining the customer base and share of wallet; and increasing services adoption across Smart Pass (our delivery pass), App, and Reserved - which drives frequency and stickiness.
It’s been a fantastic journey over the last 12-18 months as we - together with many other teams - delivered on perfect execution and shifted the dial on many metrics, helping deliver on double digit order and volume growth. We also grew our Smart Pass base significantly and we are continuing to Challenge What’s Possible to raise the bar going forward, with Loyalty being a key driver in our plan.
Loyalty is a big bet for driving growth in our next five years and we need to start mobilising now. The Customer Loyalty team is responsible for step-changing our loyalty strategy, leveraging our incredible data and getting a deeper understanding of our customers to help raise the bar on customer experience. Supported by the Senior Customer Loyalty Manager, this role will lead the growth and adoption of our existing loyalty propositions (Smart Pass, App, Reserved). The Executive will also play a crucial role in bringing our vision of the “Future of Smart Pass” to life.
