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
