🚀 Growth Director – Incentives & Rewards Specialist

This role is not for generalist sales leaders.

We’re looking for a proven Growth Director who has already sold incentive, rewards, loyalty or promotional programmes – and knows how to close large, multi‑year deals with blue‑chip brands.

If you’ve successfully sold experience-led incentives, rewards programmes, loyalty platforms or promotional solutions, and you want to be financially rewarded for doing it again at scale, this role is for you.


🏆 Why this role pays off

  • Highly competitive base salary
  • Strong commission and performance incentives linked to large, long‑term contracts
  • Significant earning upside through evergreen loyalty and rewards programmes
  • Autonomy to own and grow major accounts
  • Access to household‑name clients across retail, FMCG, financial services, telecoms and utilities
  • Recognition, progression and influence tied directly to results

🎯 The opportunity

You’ll be responsible for driving growth by securing high‑value, multi‑year incentive and rewards contracts with leading brands.

These are complex, strategic sales – not one‑off campaigns.

You will:

  • Sell loyalty, rewards and incentive-based engagement programmes
  • Target C‑suite, marketing, loyalty and commercial leadership
  • Lead pitches, RFP responses and negotiations end‑to‑end
  • Convert insight, data and creativity into commercial wins
  • Build long-term partnerships that generate sustained revenue and commission

✅ Must‑have experience (non‑negotiable)

  • Proven experience selling incentive, rewards, loyalty or promotional programmes
  • Track record of closing large, complex, multi‑year B2B deals
  • Experience selling into enterprise or blue‑chip organisations
  • Comfortable managing long sales cycles and senior stakeholders
  • Strong understanding of customer engagement, behaviour change and ROI‑driven incentive strategies

💼 About you

  • Commercial, strategic and highly persuasive
  • Confident selling value‑driven incentive solutions, not discounts
  • Motivated by targets, recognition and financial reward
  • Credible at board and executive level
  • Energised by networking, pitching and winning

🌟 Why this role stands out

You’re not being asked to learn incentives – you already know the world of rewards.

This is a chance to:

  • Sell a strong, proven rewards proposition
  • Win bigger, longer‑term deals
  • And be rewarded properly for the value you deliver

👉 If incentives and rewards are already in your sales DNA, let’s talk.
