Where you fit in

The scope of the Payment and Loyalty (PayLo) role delivers on some of the biggest customer value propositions for the Retail business in the USA; thus it receives a lot of focus and is supported by a dedicated Shell Payments Business Team. Shell Retail has one of the largest footprint globally and within the USA market, accounts for roughly 14,000 Shell branded fueling locations. Due to the footprint and number of sales transactions that occur at the sites annually, the Shell payments business is very appealing to third party vendors. In accordance with the strategic Retail 2025 pillar of 'Treating Every Customer as a Guest', the Procurement Manager works intimately with the Shell Payments Team to deliver both innovations such as Connected Car and Mobile Pay and extracts additional value from the traditional card brands and Banking Partners through negotiations or post award contract management.

Given the sheer scale of the US market for payments there is sufficient space for many suppliers with different operating models - be it Banks, specialty payment players, card schemes such as Visa/MasterCard, or rapidly evolving tech pays. This presents opportunity for Shell and to the potential incumbent to bring new perspectives and angles for deal making and business models.

In addition, our Loyalty ambitions are to achieve levels of penetration that take years to achieve elsewhere, and to do this in a compressed timeframe. This not only tests our marketing capabilities, but also those of our selected partners to help make this happen, and again the Procurement Manager can bring innovative ideas to the table to support this agenda and performance management ideas into the contracting to help secure this success.

Most importantly, the US Retail business is delivered through others; whether our Wholesalers, our Vendors, or our Marketing Partners trying to co-create value in areas where we put the Shell brand on their assets - this last area in particular for Payment and Loyalty and it requires skills beyond simply buying and vendor management, it requires an aptitude for partnership development suiting a CP resource with a business development aptitude or experience.

Lastly, sitting with the Americas region there will be times when colleagues in Canada and Mexico will seek help, support, advice from those operating in the biggest local market, and this will provide coaching opportunities and some exposure to other markets. The role also interacts greatly with CP Category Managers for Payment, Loyalty and Digital that sit in other markets such as Asia and Europe.
