We’re seeking a Client Director to join The client. The role will help shape retail media strategy by embedding retail media into broader marketing plans, delivering seamless omnichannel campaigns, and building partnerships that unlock growth. You will represent The client consistently across agency, supplier, and non-endemic channels, and help bring the full commerce advertising proposition together to create seamless, impactful customer experiences.
Key responsibilities include developing a proactive integration strategy around major campaigns, launches, and key retail moments; bringing brands into conversations earlier by turning annual marketing plans into bigger, more strategic partnerships; and acting as a strategic link across internal marketing and customer, commercial, trading, and external agency partners. You will unite client and specialist teams to create opportunities that are ambitious, commercial, and deliverable, spot opportunities ahead of the curve, and build a strong pipeline for sustainable commercial growth.
The ideal candidate will have significant experience working with media or creative agencies, with an understanding of integrated campaigns from strategy through activation and measurement. You should understand how retail media fits into wider brand and agency plans while protecting creative quality and customer experience, and be able to translate complex marketing strategies into commercial opportunities while leading large, cross-functional programmes. Strong relationship-building and influencing skills with senior stakeholders are essential, along with comfort managing forecasts, pipelines, and performance, and the ability to clearly communicate performance, pipeline, risks, and opportunities.
