About the role:

You'll drive delivery of Salmon's Loyalty & Engagement platform — a new initiative building the service that powers every point, tier, challenge, and reward across our apps.

What you'll do:

• Own delivery of a platform built entirely in-house: a loyalty service with its own rules engine, ledger, event pipeline, and customer-facing frontends across mobile and web — with the team assembled from scratch

• Co-own the roadmap with the Platform Owner, coordinating delivery across backend and frontend engineers, QA, Product Owners, system owners, and legal/compliance and marketing streams

• Turn fast-moving, ambiguous initiative scope into a sequenced delivery plan with a clear critical path — from the gateway and ledger to event flows and frontends

What you'll own:

• Break the initiative into a working delivery plan: sequence the build across the gateway, ledger, event flows, and frontends, map dependencies, and keep the critical path clear at every stage

• Define functional requirements, acceptance criteria, and test cases for critical loyalty flows — earn, burn, tiering, challenges, and reward delivery

• Design and run the workflows for campaign and reward setup — from configuration through compliance pre-checks, review, and go-live

• Work with engineering and QA to guarantee correctness in the loyalty ledger, cross-service integrations, and analytics event contracts — reconciliation, idempotency, and data quality are first-class concerns

• Manage dependencies and risks across teams, keep stakeholders aligned on timelines and priorities, and surface trade-offs clearly

• Own delivery and platform-health metrics: time-to-launch for new mechanics, reliability of point and reward flows, pre-launch check coverage, and data quality

What makes you a strong fit:

• 3+ years as a Technical Program Manager or Systems Analyst

• Hands-on experience with web and/or mobile products — FinTech or MarTech background is a plus

• Experience with platforms that combine a backend service and customer-facing frontends — loyalty, payments, CRM, or analytics

• Strong structural and technical thinking: you break down ambiguous problems, read specs, ask the right engineering questions, and reason about trade-offs across APIs, data contracts, and integrations

• Comfortable working with balances or ledgers — you appreciate correctness, edge cases, and reconciliation

• Strong English communication skills
