• Identify, shape and close complex, high-value deals
• Lead pitches, proposals and commercial negotiations

Building Strategic Partnerships

• Develop revenue-generating partnerships across agencies, technology platforms and ecosystem partners
• Identify opportunities to embed TLC’s reward and engagement solutions into partner offerings
• Structure commercial agreements that deliver mutual value and long-term growth
• Create scalable partnership models that can be replicated across markets

• Engage senior stakeholders including CMOs, Commercial Directors, Growth Leaders and C-Suite executives

• Background in loyalty, rewards, incentives, promotions, marketing servic
