Job description

Are you genuinely passionate by loyalty programs, customer engagement, and the art of turning commercial strategies into real-world results? Join us on our mission to create raving fans by delivering the most rewarding, friction-free loyalty ecosystem in the Nordics - driving innovation both within Strawberry and across the expanding Spenn ecosystem.

As our Loyalty Program Manager, you will serve as both architect and driver of our next-generation loyalty ecosystem - connecting strategic vision, behavioral psychology, tech logic, and hotel operations. If you are a strong project leader, a pragmatic doer, and someone who thrives when given full ownership to drive initiatives, take decisions, and make things happen - this is your stage!

What you will be doing:

In this role, you will lead complex, cross-functional loyalty initiatives from inception to launch, executing new program mechanisms, campaign logic, and member rules across all Nordic markets. You will co-design our long-term loyalty strategy - evaluating market positioning, tier mechanics, and innovative, margin-aware benefits designed to directly drive Member Revenue and lifetime value. You will collaborate with our partnership team to design and deliver seamless benefits across the Spenn and Strawberry universe, maximizing value for our members. Serving as the vital bridge between commercial strategy, IT, and hotel operations, you align cross-functional teams to deliver pragmatic execution without over-engineering solutions.

Who we think you are:

• You genuinely care about member journeys and reward mechanics, with 5+ years of experience in loyalty strategy or program management.
• Strong grasp of behavioral economics, habit loops, and predictive/AI-driven personalization logic (e.g., Next Best Action, retention nudges) that drive engagement beyond standard points-and-nights logic.
• Proven track record of translating customer behavior, financial metrics, and competitor movements into ROI-focused loyalty mechanics. You thrive when measured primarily on Member Revenue and bottom-line impact.
• You know how to simplify the complex, find smart shortcuts, and move projects from idea to reality quickly.
• You excel at bringing people with you. Whether translating business logic into functional requirements for IT or anchoring changes with hotel managers on-site, you build trust and alignment effortlessly.

Qualifications:

• Background: Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Engineering/Systems, or a related commercial field.
• Professional fluency in English; proficiency in a Scandinavian language is an advantage given local hotel operations.
