Collaborating with third-party agencies and internal strategy teams, your primary purpose is to sell, create, and implement experience-led campaigns that connect non-supplier brands with premium, purchase-ready consumers both in-store and online. You will manage your portfolio with a strong commercial focus, delivering end-to-end solutions—such as visual merchandising hot spots and storefront windows—that drive full-funnel shopper engagement, elevate the customer experience, and maximize return on investment for advertisers.

• Lead the review, pricing, and optimisation of media inventory and packaging strategies.

• Implement strategies to improve the sell-through of production-heavy channels.

• Support the development of preferred supplier relationships to oversee the logistics and execution of experiential pop-up retail media campaigns.

Who are you?

• You have proven experience in media sales, retail marketing, shopping centre, or category/partnerships roles within luxury, retail, or media/experiential agency environments.

• You are a strategic and creative thinker with a passion for retail media, who gets a thrill out of building new business opportunities and piecing together a brand's attributes into an exceptional media plan.

• You possess a strong understanding of media channel planning, inventory, and commercialisation management strategies.

• You are highly detail-oriented with strong organisational skills, allowing you to seamlessly manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
