Our client, an innovative brand operating across both restaurant (bowl shops) and CPG/grocery channels, is seeking a strategic and hands-on Director of Loyalty, CRM & Digital Revenue Channels. This leader will drive customer retention, engagement, and digital transaction growth across the company's omnichannel business.

The role oversees two key loyalty ecosystems - one app-based rewards program for physical store locations and one web-based rewards platform for grocery consumers. It also leads CRM and lifecycle marketing across email and emerging platforms, and owns digital commerce strategy for third-party delivery marketplaces (eg, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub) in the restaurant vertical.

The ideal candidate will bring strong vision, technical CRM know-how, and the ability to execute within a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.

• Launch promotions and in-app activations that drive incremental visits and purchases.
• Ensure day-to-day accuracy, seamless redemptions, and smooth digital UX.
• Monitor key KPIs (engagement, repeat visits, LTV, redemption, ROI) and evolve based on performance insights.
• Partner cross-functionally (Operations, IT, Creative) to enhance the loyalty experience.

2. CRM, Email Marketing & Lifecycle Strategy

• Oversee the full CRM ecosystem - from strategy through execution and optimization.
• Build email campaigns and templates (Canva), working closely with creative for brand alignment.
• Manage CRM campaign calendar in sync with launches, promotions, and brand priorities.

• Develop robust segmentation and personalization strategies leveraging first-party and behavioral data.
• Execute ongoing A/B and multivariate testing to improve engagement and conversion.

3. Digital Revenue Channel Management - App + Delivery Marketplaces

• Lead digital ordering and revenue strategy for restaurant locations, including mobile app and third-party marketplaces.
• Optimize ordering flows and ensure promotional visibility to maximize conversion.
• Collaborate with vendors and channel leads on app enhancements, urgency messaging, and loyalty integration.
• Launch app- and marketplace-specific offers and incentives that drive revenue and repeat engagement.

• Partner with internal teams to ensure cohesive digital experience and effective execution.

Required
