Sr. Manager

About the Role

Gap Inc. is building an amazing loyalty program to reward and excite our best customers – driving customer retention, frequency and engagement. This program will evolve rapidly, be rooted in experimentation and provide a wide variety of perks and experiences. We group payments with our broader loyalty programs, including our Gap private-label and co-branded credit cards providing compelling loyalty benefits.

Our Global Technology Solutions (GTS) organization serves all of Gap Inc – Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy and Athleta brands, building a platform to drive the more than $6B ecommerce business and $15B in total sales.

As the leader of product management for loyalty platforms, you’ll lead the evolution of the core engine that powers loyalty. This will be a world-class third-party loyalty platform, well integrated into the Gap ecosystem. It will be critical to enable an integrated experience – across app, point-of-sale, marketing operations and analytics. You’ll work with a cross-functional group of experts – in engineering, design, data science and program management.

Your goal will be to support the development, launch and ongoing optimization of a world-class loyalty program by:

Selecting platforms and improving existing capabilities to ensure our points calculation, bonus and accelerator offers are accurate, easy to configure, and driving engagement

The end-to-end experience is cohesive and delightful
