You will lead the preparation and execution of QBRs, integrating KPI progress, strategic insights, and cross-functional updates. You will gather input, manage timelines, and ensure strategic alignment while summarizing findings, providing recommendations, and outlining actionable next steps.
• Liaise. You will meet regularly with key owner stakeholders to explore opportunities where the team can add value to their businesses. You will serve as the primary liaison for Partnerships within account-related operational projects, ensuring clear communication of business requirements and regular updates on KPI impacts, risks, opportunities, and stakeholder considerations.
• Manage projects and meetings. You will oversee and maintain partnership project trackers, QBR agendas, and meeting minutes—ensuring discussions are well-organized, action-oriented, and focused on KPI progress and strategic recommendations. In addition, you will prepare bi-weekly summaries of partner integration into operational projects.

You bring:

• The experience. You bring insights, best practices, and expertise in Partnerships management or a similar role, preferably in the loyalty industry. You excel at analyzing data using dashboards, interpreting complex information, identifying key trends, and providing clear recommendations, and driving decision-making.
• The consulting approach. You are a natural relationship builder who can manage expectations, ask the right questions, influence decisions, and work across multiple levels of an organization. You have a proven ability to think critically, and leverage data and insights to develop creative solutions.
• The technical skills. You are proficient in Excel, PowerPoint, and dashboard navigation tools such as Power BI or Tableau, allowing you to track performance and communicate insights effectively.
