Responsibilities

• Own the strategy, performance and outcomes of an assigned book of enterprise retail media accounts
• Plan, build and optimise campaigns hands-on across Amazon, Walmart, Instacart, Target, and other retail media networks, including day-to-day management as the account requires it
• Investigate performance issues and opportunities, and bring recommendations clients act on
• Advise senior client stakeholders on media planning, budget allocation across networks, and retail media best practice
• Lead QBRs and strategic reviews, and support the client services team on renewals, growth conversations and escalations
• Build custom analyses, reports and automations where the standard tools and templates fall short
• Serve as the retail media subject matter expert for the region, supporting internal stakeholders across the business
• Mentor less experienced colleagues and contribute to team playbooks and process
• Partner with product development, sales, technical account management and sales engineers to drive platform innovation and capture market opportunity

Requirements

• Enterprise retail media ownership, as the senior owner accountable for strategy through execution rather than delivering someone else's plan.
• Amazon and Walmart, full stack (search and DSP). Hands-on across Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Display, Amazon DSP, Walmart Connect sponsored search and Walmart DSP, plus Vendor Central, Seller Central and the 1P versus 3P distinction.
• AMC beyond the out-of-the-box templates, used to answer questions standard reporting cannot, build custom audiences and analyses (for example incrementality or multi-touch attribution), and change what a client does next.
• Analytical depth. Root-cause analysis rather than surface reporting, and the judgement to tie metrics back to the client's actual business objectives rather than optimising to a dashboard.
• Retail media ecosystem fluency. How retailer economics, onsite, offsite and DSP, 1P and 3P, and shopper marketing fit together, and why a tactic that works on one network fails on another.
• Advanced use of generative AI tools such as Claude to produce your own technical outputs, from reshaping data to reports, automations and custom agents. A software engineering background is not required.

Preferred

• Breadth across other retail media networks: Instacart, Target and Roundel Media Studio, Criteo, CitrusAd, Epsilon, Kroger Precision Marketing, Amazon Retail Ad Service. Breadth across several matters more to us than depth in any single one.
• Agency-side background. This is the most directly relevant experience for the role, though we welcome strong candidates from the brand, retailer and platform sides.
• Coaching and informal leadership. You have mentored or trained less experienced colleagues, or built playbooks and documentation that outlast your involvement, and you are interested in growing into people management.
• Commercial exposure. Retention and growth of a book of business, QBRs with economic buyers, scoping new work.
• Total commerce context. Familiarity with how retail media sits alongside shopper marketing, trade budgets and joint business planning with retailers.
• Skai, or a comparable retail media or search management platform.
• Collaborating with a global team, both locally and virtually.
