This role sits at the intersection of promotional strategy, customer behavior, analytics, competitive intelligence, and operational execution. You will partner closely with Lifecycle Marketing, Product, Analytics, Finance, Compliance, and VIP teams to develop and optimize promotional programs that support business growth while maintaining sustainable economics.

• Track competitor acquisition offers, retention programs, loyalty initiatives, VIP incentives, and event‑based promotions
• Identify emerging trends, opportunities, and risks within the promotional landscape
• Bring new promotional concepts, mechanics, and customer engagement ideas to the business on a regular basis

Manage Promotional Portfolio & Calendar

• Own Fliff’s promotional calendar and promotional portfolio across products and customer segments
• Coordinate promotional scheduling across customer segments, business objectives, sporting events, product launches, and enterprise initiatives
• Manage promotional inventory and offer prioritization across identified segments
• Partner with Lifecycle Marketing, VIP, Social and Product teams to ensure successful deployment of promotional initiatives

Drive Experimentation & Optimization

• Design and execute structured testing plans for promotional initiatives in coordination with Analytics
• Evaluate offer mechanics, incentive values, timing, targeting, and promotional frequency

What Success Looks Like

• Build a strong understanding of Fliff’s promotional performance and customer behavior
• Establish a consistent competitive intelligence process
• Improve promotional efficiency and effectiveness across key customer segments
• Develop scalable promotional planning and governance practices
• Become a trusted resource for promotional strategy, incentive design, and competitive promotion trends
