Jessica Telford
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Hi there! My name is Jess, and I'm an Engagement Manager at Reward Gateway. I worked in our HQ in Notting Hill in London, for 4 years, and now I'm based out of our Melbourne office in Victoria, Australia.
I manage a portfolio of about 25 clients, with a really diverse range of companies ranging from Oil/Energy, to Solicitors, Nurseries, Councils, and Mining Operations - so I've definitely got my work cut out!
In London, I was part of the Engagement Excellence Awards team which was such an invaluable part of my job. We managed the whole event exclusively for RG clients to showcase the best of the best employee engagement solutions. It was a phenomenal event, with a huge amount of time and work invested by myself and the other 4 team members. We all have day jobs, so this had to be fit in elsewhere! We had our first celebrity host last year, the talented Jason Manford. Who knows what the team will come up with in 2016?!
Working with big-name clientele with large employee numbers is challenging and rewarding. It's great to engage employees with such a fantastic engagement solution, and hearing how their scheme has affected their lives in such a positive way is fantastic.
I'm originally from Perth, Australia and emigrated to London in 2011. After five years house sharing, traveling Europe, and getting the most out of my career in one of the most fantastic cities in the world, I decided it was time to come back to Australia to bring my experience to the Australian market - and get a bit of sunshine back in my life.
Don't be afraid to say hi!
Jess :)
