Job Description

Key responsibilities

Premium customer activations and events

  • Plan and deliver premium customer activations end to end, from concept and logistics through on-ground execution and post-event follow-up.
  • Manage every workstream for premium events: invitations, venues, partners, customer experience, assets and follow-up communications.
  • Engage directly with VIP customers at activations across the GCC, representing the programme with confidence and warmth.
  • Keep a forward-looking activation calendar covering events, milestones, budgets, attendance and outcomes.
  • Debrief every activation and propose improvements based on customer feedback and performance data.
  • Travel across GCC markets as needed to supervise activations and keep delivery standards consistent.

VIP campaign coordination and delivery

  • Coordinate targeted VIP campaigns end to end: timelines, approvals, audience inputs and launch readiness.
  • Prepare audience lists and segmentation inputs using loyalty tier data and customer behaviour insights, with the analytics team.
  • Manage campaign delivery across CRM, creative and brand teams, keeping inputs accurate, on time and on objective.
  • Support the rollout of personalised treatments: premium recognition, exclusive rewards, tier acceleration offers and lifecycle nudges.
  • Work with CRM and digital teams on campaign set-up and readiness.

Performance tracking and insight

  • Track programme performance against KPIs: reach, customer response, engagement, tier upgrades and revenue contribution.
  • Support post-campaign and post-event analysis, comparing results to targets or control groups where relevant.
  • Prepare clear performance summaries and insight reports for leadership.
  • Flag issues early with supporting data and a recommended course of action.
  • Use AI and productivity tools to work more efficiently on reporting, briefs and data summaries.

Collaboration and stakeholder management

  • Build strong working relationships with CRM, analytics, marketing and retail brand teams.
  • Coordinate in-store and in-market elements of activations with brand and operations teams.
  • Prepare materials, customer data summaries and activation briefs for planning sessions.
  • Represent the VIP programme professionally in internal meetings and customer-facing settings.

What you'll bring

Essential

  • Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Business or a related field.
  • 4–5 years' experience in loyalty marketing, CRM, customer lifecycle management or experiential marketing.
  • Hands-on experience planning and delivering customer campaigns or events end to end.
  • Strong spoken and written Arabic for direct customer engagement in GCC markets.
  • Able to read and work with campaign performance data and customer metrics independently.
  • Strong coordination skills across multiple workstreams and deadlines.
  • Customer-facing confidence and a professional presence.
  • Good command of Excel, PowerPoint and reporting or CRM tools.

Nice to have

  • Experience in a loyalty programme or premium customer engagement environment.
  • Experience running premium customer events or experiential activations.
  • Familiarity with CRM platforms such as Salesforce or similar.
  • Exposure to customer segmentation or audience targeting using behavioural or transactional data.
  • Experience working across GCC markets.
  • Familiarity with AI or productivity tools for reporting or content preparation.

Key competencies

  • Execution ownership: takes full accountability for activations and campaigns without needing to be chased.
  • Customer-centric mindset: understands what a premium customer experience means and applies that standard every time.
  • Analytical thinking: comfortable reading data and surfacing insights without step-by-step guidance.
  • Collaboration: drives alignment across CRM, analytics, marketing and retail teams.
  • Attention to detail: campaign inputs, event logistics and performance data are consistently accurate.
  • Communication: communicates clearly in Arabic and English with customers, partners and internal teams.
  • Adaptability: thrives in a fast-paced, evolving environment.

What you can expect

In your first 90 days

  • Own your first premium customer activation end to end.
  • Build working relationships with CRM, analytics and brand teams.
  • Learn the loyalty programme inside out: its tiers, benefits and member behaviour.
  • Get a clear view of the VIP customer portfolio and what makes these customers valuable.

Over the first year

  • Deliver multiple VIP activations with measurable customer impact.
  • Become a trusted execution partner: proactive, organised and commercially aware.
  • Contribute directly to stronger VIP engagement and tier upgrade rates across the GCC.
  • Grow your analytical and strategic skills alongside your execution experience.
