Responsibilities

• Move Walmart Connect and Sam's Club media from adjacent media buying to an embedded capability that links category strategy, retail readiness, media activation, and closed-loop measurement.
• Own annual and quarterly media strategy for assigned clients, tying plans to merchant and brand priorities across Walmart and Sam's Club.
• Build a differentiated Walmart and Sam's Club growth offering for brands that need more than buyer access, positioning MPG as a strategic retail media partner.
• Lead the team that manages media-only clients at Walmart & Sam's Club, setting priorities and ensuring consistent quality across the portfolio.
• Own readiness gates — PDP, inventory, creative, and item priorities — ensuring campaigns launch only when retail fundamentals support media investment.
• Oversee campaign setup, pacing, and optimization across Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, display, off-platform media, and connected shopper experiences.
• Ensure media plans account for the full funnel — onsite, offsite, app, store, pickup, and delivery — rather than a single channel or placement.
• Align media timing with launches, mods, promotions, and share-growth priorities across the client portfolio.
• Build closed-loop reporting with InsightsLab and ViCi that proves incrementality, conversion, and category impact, not just media delivery.
• Deliver executive-ready performance narratives that connect media spend to launches, share growth, and total category outcomes.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Communications, or related field; equivalent relevant experience may be considered.
• 8+ years of experience in retail media, digital media, ecommerce, or related environment, with direct experience managing Walmart Connect and/or Sam's Club media.
• Demonstrated experience developing and executing media strategy tied to category and merchant priorities, not just campaign-level tactics.
• Strong understanding of retail readiness fundamentals — PDP quality, inventory, creative, and item prioritization — and how they affect media performance.
• Experience building or using closed-loop measurement and reporting tools (e.g., InsightsLab, ViCi, or similar) to prove incrementality and category impact.
• Experience managing media across the full funnel, including onsite, offsite, app, store, pickup, and delivery. Experience managing or mentoring media managers, specialists, or analysts.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, with proven ability to work across sales, operations, insights, and content/digital shelf teams.
• Strong client-facing communication, presentation, and business development skills in a fast-paced, multi-client environment.
• High proficiency with Excel and PowerPoint; comfortable working with media platforms, dashboards, and reporting tools such as Pacvue or Skai.

Preferred

• Experience managing CPG accounts across health and wellness, food and beverage, personal care, home, hardlines, or related categories.

• Experience with DSP, AMC, or comparable programmatic and closed-loop measurement platforms.
• Track record of expanding services with existing clients or supporting new business development/pitch efforts.
• Prior people management experience, including hiring, coaching, and developing media managers or specialists.
