Job Overview

The Strategic Marketing Specialist is an integral part of the restaurant marketing team at Rewards Network. You will be responsible for creating custom, sophisticated, compelling sales and service materials for our restaurant customers and prospects.

You will partner closely with our Enterprise customer team as well as our broader Restaurant marketing team to craft compelling sales/service content and enablement for our most important customers.

  • Product & Brand Storytelling: Create compelling stories and presentations to communicate our value proposition to our most important customers and prospects. Partner with Creative Marketing to ensure that visuals clearly communicate the specific customer objective or marketing campaign. Partner with analysts in Finance and Data Science to ensure messages are accurate and clearly supported by data, analysis and insights.
  • Company Values: Exude Rewards Network’s company values: be open, honest and direct; put customers at the center of everything we do, set a high bar and achieve it, think and act like an owner and always with integrity, presume trust, celebrate others, and have fun.

Do you have the right mix of ingredients: (Requirements)

  • Experience with AI tools Claude and Glean.
  • Experience interacting with senior leaders; comfortable asking detailed questions to clarify complex situations. Demonstrated ability to ramp quickly into ambiguous, in-flight programs, and operate independently within days or weeks, not months.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
