Job Description

Ooh, I'm intrigued Virgin Red is launching this year, well okay, it already exists but it will become a whole lot bigger and better, rewarding customers for living a life more Virgin. Customers will be able to earn and spend a new kind of currency, Virgin Points (currently Virgin Atlantic Flying Club Miles), across a wide range of partners and Virgin companies - giving them access to both everyday rewards and a curated list of exclusive experiences. And by being the hub connecting the Virgin companies we can get a deeper understanding of our customers and open up new opportunities for our partners. It's bold, unique and customer experience driven - Virgin in a nutshell. Tell me more The work pace is fast, the business is evolving, challenges are plentiful and our expectations are high. But if all that's ok with you we live up to our Virgin Red purpose of Rewarding Relationships... fancy unlimited holiday, work from home Fridays (although given the current circumstances this is the norm right now) and yoga? It's all part of the Virgin Red package. Plus we have our inclusion, wellbeing and Points with Purpose strategy in place and being developed further as we speak - we're starting as we mean to go on.
