THE IN-DEPTH VERSION
As Senior (e) Gift Card Specialist you are the primary accelerant of our consumer-oriented gift card proposition. Ambitious? Of course, but research and market momentum demonstrate that we are on the fast track to becoming one of the top-of-mind gift cards. It’s up to you to push traffic to on- and offline points of sales.

For external gift card partners (ranging from our ‘own’ stores to online vendors), you take on the account management role and proactively advise on maximising commercial success. How can we stimulate external (retailer) adoption so that partners prioritise our gift card? And what do partners need from us to drive growth? As you probably realise, this is a high stakes game, because our gift card business is a multi-million euro endeavour, and you negotiate with counterparts at a corporate level.

The role is positioned in the Marketing department, and you will report directly to the Senior marketing partnership manager.
