Hi, I’m Jamie Erkonak from JENNY BIRD, and I am the Sr. Director of Retention Marketing and Client Experience. I joined the company 2 years ago, and have had an amazing experience so far leading our strategy for retaining new customers and crafting amazing experiences to celebrate our customers.  This is a very exciting time for our team, with limitless possibilities and creativity at the forefront. Our teams include sales, marketing, design, creative services, production, operations, people experience and finance, with a global partnership network.

We are a fast moving, complex business with direct to consumer, wholesale and major department sales channels with customer experience at the core. We value our partnerships, developing and strengthening our relationships with our boutiques and majors. We are inspired by our consumers, and consciously strategize how we can exceed our five star shopping experience.

You’re an adaptable person who thrives in a fast-paced environment, you have an entrepreneurial spirit and are “in-the-know” with industry tactics for retention, customer LTV and the full customer journey. You enjoy digging into patterns of customer behavior as a way to constantly grow a repeat customer base and re-engage past purchasers.

Note that some of the above responsibilities may be tweaked slightly based on the candidate's experience and areas of strength. Any such minor amendments to the above will be shared with the candidate as a part of the hiring process.
