● Lead third-party gift card processor/distributor partnerships (e.g., BHN/Blackhawk, InComm): business reviews, merchandising programs, POS placement, and service levels.
● Drive retail execution: sell-in assortments, set promos, seasonal programs, and end-cap/wallet share; monitor sell-through, inventory, OOS, and deductions.
● Orchestrate integrated marketing to acquire new buyers and increase activation/redemption; brief campaigns across in-store, digital, and B2B channels.
● Ensure operational hygiene in forecasting, settlement, and reporting; maintain awareness of compliance requirements for consumer protection and unclaimed property.
● Lead quarterly business reviews; synthesize retail/partner insights, promo ROI, attach/activation/redemption health, and next-quarter bets.
● Expand the business across the region
