The role

Following a successful RMN consultancy, we have been appointed by a US leading national grocer to operate their end to end Retail Media Network. We are looking for talented individuals to join our start up team to supercharge their RMN capabilities, working with the wider Threefold & SMG business to create the next US Retail Media Network of the future.  

 What you'll be doing

We pride ourselves on creating challenging and exciting opportunities, meaning that no two days are the same. However, here's an idea of what your responsibilities will look like:

• Own relationships across our most strategically important CPG’s and / or key retailer or media contacts, looking to continuously build and solidify these.
• Liaise between internal stakeholders and our clients and / or key contacts, following meetings up with clear actions and guidance on next steps.
• Lead brainstorms to help create and implement retail media campaigns that will deliver results for our clients against agreed budgets and timelines.
• Have a strong understanding of the value of the service we provide and effectively communicate that to key stakeholders.
• Communicate confidently with our CPG & retail clients, nuancing your approach with different stakeholders and ensure you present yourself as a trusted member of the team.
• Become familiar with typical objections to our proposition and work to be able to combat these with ease.
• Support junior members in the team with their day-to-day queries and offer them guidance on how to approach new or difficult situations.
• Contribute ideas and recommendations for wider organizational projects, helping to create a great workplace and supporting with our mission to lead connected commerce marketing.

What you'll need to have / be

• The ability to "think differently": as one of our key behaviors, you won't be afraid to approach problems from a different angle or challenge the status quo and will have a solution-focused mindset when tackling new tasks.
• Previous demonstrable experience working within a similar role, ideally within a marketing agency, a growing CPG and / or the retail media network sector.
• Great organizational skills with excellent attention to detail.
• Experience of building highly collaborative relationships and delivering against the highest standards for the client.

P.s. we try really hard to make sure that we list only essential criteria here, BUT if you think you can do an amazing job, yet don't have every single thing on this list, we'd still love to hear from you.
