  • Develop repeatable sourcing playbooks for retail, travel, grocery, lifestyle, and digital commerce.
  • Own commercial negotiations — ensuring strong economics for both partners and programs.

  • Familiarity with retail, travel, finance, or digital commerce ecosystems — and how merchants think about customer acquisition and loyalty.
