  • Company pension of 9% (6% contribution from IAGL, 3% employee contribution)

  • 25 days annual leave, + 2 days charity leave and a day off on your birthday

We might not be right for you if:
  • You only want to focus on your to-do list; we're a small, high-performing team, we help each other to succeed.

  • You value perfection over fast iteration and progress; IAG Loyalty moves fast, we learn and iterate as we go.

  • You're looking to create but not build; this is an end-to-end role.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion at IAG Loyalty

Our vision, 'to create the world's most rewarding experiences,' applies not only to our customers but for our colleagues too.
