May as well try again.

Resume at end but a few notes first. I am currently self employed and while it is financially fine, it is very dull working by myself, so I want to get a job to 'get out of the house'.

Ideally I would like a role that involves affiliate or loyalty marketing (and in true Flyertalk style, a reasonable amount of air travel ) although I would consider other roles (even Call Center Management that I have a lot of experience in) with the right company.

Ideal role would be working with a rewards program of some sort since that is what I have a LOT of experience in!

Location wise: I am based in Austin, TX so that would be the first choice. I am happy to consider relocation anywhere in the US. After October 2008 (when I will have 'done my time' as a greencard holder and have become a US citizen while retaining my Australian & South African citizenship) I would consider international positions (Pref. UK/Ireland/Canada/Australia/New Zealand/South Africa) as well.

If you think you might have or know of a position that would suit me - PLEASE PM me.
