About the role

Role Responsibilities

P&L Ownership: Own the rewards business end-to-end, including revenue, margin, redemption costs, and partner economics. Set annual targets, manage to them, and present financial performance to the executive team.

Business Development and Partnerships: Lead all commercial relationships with third-party integrators and rewards partners. Negotiate contracts, structure pricing, and source new partnerships as strategy evolves.

Product Strategy and Roadmap: Define the long-term vision for the rewards ecosystem in partnership with Product and Engineering. Sequence and prioritize the roadmap, balancing near-term UX improvements (e.g., search, filtering, animations, card descriptions, information hierarchy) with new functionality (e.g., rewards media, point transfers, dynamic pricing) and bigger long-term bets (virtual goods, subscriptions, VIP experiences, expanded redemption catalog).

Engagement and Retention Mechanics: Expand sweepstakes, gamification, and other engagement programs that drive redemption frequency and deepen user habit.

Merchandising and Catalog: Curate gift card assortment, denominations, and the redemption experience to align with Fetch's brand and user expectations. Build out specialty catalog and non-gift-card redemption options that strengthen brand passion and acquisition appeal.

User Research and Insights: Commission and apply user research to inform merchandising, UX, and roadmap decisions. Build a continuous test-and-learn muscle inside the team.

Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner with Marketing on user positioning and growth, Finance on unit economics, Engineering on prioritization and delivery, and Sales on partner-facing commercial opportunities. Set the operating cadence and culture for the function.

Executive Reporting: Deliver clear, data-backed updates to the Fetch executive team on business performance, partnership pipeline, and roadmap status.
