Merchants use LoyaltyLion when they want a fully customised loyalty program that is proven to increase customer engagement, retention and spend. Stores using LoyaltyLion typically generate at least $15 for every $1 they spend on the platform.
Today LoyaltyLion works with over 4,000 fast-growth ecommerce retailers. Our mission is to help them succeed in the age of Amazon, where they may not be able to compete on price and logistics but can offer a better customer experience.

Working cross-functionally with Success, Sales, Marketing, and Partnerships, you’ll maintain product agility to deliver quick wins where needed, and stay focused on long-term benefits when not. You’ll lead the Development and Design teams to understand what’s easy, what’s difficult, and ensure the product roadmap delivers high value and high return on effort.

Our journey so far:
LoyaltyLion was founded four years ago by Charlie (ex-Deloitte) and Dave (ex-Oracle). They spent 12 months doing some serious bootstrapping – using a friend’s lounge as an office, renting the cheapest accommodation (it had no bathroom!) and taking government loans to make LoyaltyLion a success. Happy to say it’s paying off.
LoyaltyLion is backed by industry leading entrepreneurs who bring decades of expertise in loyalty, ecommerce, CRM and data science. Our investors include the first employee and former ecommerce director for ASOS, James Hart and Jan Boluminski, the co-founder of PAYBACK, the world’s largest loyalty company.
