Who You Are

You bring hands-on experience from within a Retail Media Network (RMN), with a clear understanding of how retailers commercialize media offerings and sell to brands. You also have exposure to in-store / physical retail environments and understand how retail media connects to merchandising, store execution, and shopper behavior. You are confident operating in retail media environments and can translate that experience into structured, client-facing strategy work.

This is a client-facing, execution-focused strategy role responsible for owning key workstreams and contributing to integrated retail transformation initiatives across RMN, brand, GTM, and operating models.
