Job Description

We're looking for a Digital Proposition Lead to play a pivotal role in shaping how The National Lottery builds stronger, more rewarding relationships with players. Reporting into the Director of Digital and Commercial Operations, this role will lead our approach to retention mechanics, ensuring we test, learn and evolve quickly.


From objective loyalty tools like stamp cards and missions to sticky propositions and surprise-and-delight campaigns, you'll be responsible for experimenting with mechanics that drive engagement and value - without locking us into costly or inflexible solutions. Your job will be to balance feasibility and customer appetite with business impact, turning bold ideas into scalable realities that evolve the National Lottery experience.

What you'll be doing...

Driving all aspects of the digital customer retention workstream, from concept and experimentation through to delivery and optimisation. Designing and running test-and-learn campaigns (e.g. pop-up promotions, gamified rewards, digital loyalty mechanics) to validate customer appetite and business impact before scaling. Collaborating closely with CRM, Digital, Retail, Marketing, Compliance and Technology to ensure retention initiatives are feasible, responsible and aligned with Player Protection values. Using customer insight, competitor analysis and market trends to inform the pipeline of new retention initiatives. Utilising the flexibility of digital experiences to enhance the Retail journey, expanding our digital footprint and associated retention capabilities in the process. Defining clear success measures for all retention initiatives and track performance using data and player feedback. Partnering with Finance and Commercial colleagues to assess the business impact of retention initiatives and recommend future investment. Communicating progress and insights to senior stakeholders, influencing the direction of loyalty within the wider proposition portfolio. Ensuring retention mechanics enhance, not complicate, the National Lottery brand and player experience.
