As a CRM consultant, you will operate for global companies across various mandates, including consulting, project implementation, and staff delegation, with missions varying from several months to long-term assignments fully integrated within our clients' teams. Your key areas of responsibility as CRM Loyalty Project Manager For your first assignment, you will be dedicated full-time to the CRM Operations & Loyalty team of a prominent international company in the luxury industry. Reporting directly to the Head of CRM Operations & Loyalty, you will support a major transformation programme aimed at bringing two established loyalty programmes closer together and progressively creating a unified customer proposition. The programme combines a broad customer loyalty proposition with a premium, subscription-based proposition designed for highly engaged customers and collectors. The transformation involves multiple business, technical, legal and operational dependencies, as well as close collaboration with CRM, e-commerce, marketing, product, retail, analytics, legal, finance and IT teams. This is primarily a project management and coordination role. You will connect the different workstreams, structure the programme, monitor dependencies and ensure that all stakeholders remain aligned and on track. The internal business and technical teams will retain responsibility for defining business requirements and configuring the relevant systems. Your role will be to provide structure, visibility, momentum and effective communication across the programme. In this role, your responsibilities include: Loyalty Transformation Programme Coordination Support the definition and execution of the strategic roadmap to progressively reshape the client’s existing loyalty programmes into one unified customer proposition. Coordinate the different workstreams and ensure that strategic objectives are translated into clear and actionable plans. Project Planning & Dependency Management Build and maintain a comprehensive and realistic project plan, including key milestones, dependencies, critical path items, risks and mitigation actions. Develop and manage Gantt charts and other project management tools to provide visibility on progress and upcoming priorities. Cross-functional Stakeholder Coordination Act as the connecting point between the CRM Operations & Loyalty team and subject matter experts across e-commerce, CRM and IT, marketing, product, retail, analytics, legal, finance and external partners. Ensure alignment on scope, responsibilities, priorities, dependencies and delivery timelines. Programme Execution & Progress Tracking Drive progress across the different workstreams without direct hierarchical authority over the contributing teams. Monitor delivery, identify potential roadblocks, facilitate issue resolution and maintain accountability across stakeholders to keep the programme on schedule. Project Governance Support the setup and ongoing management of the project governance framework, including steering committees, working groups and regular status meetings. Prepare agendas, document decisions, maintain action logs and ensure timely follow-up on agreed actions. Communication & Executive-ready Documentation Translate complex processes, technical dependencies and project updates into clear, concise and compelling messages. Prepare structured presentations, programme updates and decision-making materials tailored to both operational subject matter experts and senior stakeholders. Change Management & Adoption Contribute to communication, onboarding and change management activities to support the progressive adoption of the unified loyalty proposition across teams and markets. Help stakeholders understand the programme’s objectives, impacts, dependencies and expected outcomes. CRM Ecosystem Understanding (is a plus) Develop a clear understanding of the client’s CRM and customer data ecosystem, including the connections between customer databases, CRM platforms, e-commerce systems, online and offline channels, stores and external partners. You will not be expected to configure the platforms, but you should be comfortable operating in a complex CRM and systems-integration environment. As an ideal candidate you have 3+ Years of Relevant Experience A minimum of three years of professional experience in CRM, loyalty, consulting, project management or programme coordination. Experience managing complex, cross-functional initiatives involving business, technology, processes or systems integration is essential.

You are a self-starter who can work independently, take ownership of deliverables, structure ambiguity and move initiatives forward while knowing when to involve the wider team. CRM Technology Awareness A general understanding of CRM architecture, customer databases and connected systems is beneficial. Deep technical expertise or hands-on platform configuration is not required, as technical implementation will remain the responsibility of the client’s IT teams.

Familiarity with international and omnichannel customer environments would also be beneficial. International Exposure & Language Skills Excellent English proficiency, both spoken and written, is mandatory, as English is the primary business language.
