You will act as the primary product counterpart to Technology, supporting backlog creation, sprint planning, and feature delivery, while monitoring performance and using insights to continuously optimise the product.

This role also requires strong cross-functional leadership, partnering with CRM, Digital, Marketing, Operations, and regional teams to ensure consistent implementation, clear communication of capabilities, and alignment with the loyalty proposition.
