You are a commercially‑driven Retail Media leader who operates equally well in a growth conversation and a delivery governance meeting. You bring deep fluency in the Retail Media landscape from the sell‑side and retailer perspective. You understand how RMNs are built, monetized, and scaled—and you can translate that expertise into compelling points of view that open doors with prospective retailer, commerce and brand clients.

You are a confident storyteller, a credible advisor, and a trusted operator that clients want in the room for both the pitch and the delivery.

You thrive in complex, multi‑stakeholder environments where ambiguity is the norm and momentum must be created, not inherited. You connect internal capability to external opportunity with precision by knowing when to bring in product, engineering, data or operations to shape a solution that wins and delivers. You take accountability for outcomes on both sides of the signature line.

You will work with a variety of clients, with work spanning from pipeline development and solution shaping, through engagement governance, delivery and client relationship health. This role is best suited for a leader who is energized by growth, trusted by clients, and disciplined enough to hold delivery quality to the same standard as commercial ambition.
