General Manager, Retail Media

Infillion is seeking a General Manager to lead its newly formed Retail Media Business Unit (RM BU). The GM we hire will build the commercial infrastructure for a business that will be in a category of one. While onsite and offsite media support are table stakes offerings, Infillion's Retail Media platform is the only one that activates the retailer's physical store (the lane, the checkout, the printer at the register) as a third programmatic media surface.

The foundation is extraordinary. Through the acquisition of Catalina Marketing, Infillion owns 184,000 in-lane printers across 29,000 US stores, 413 million shopper cards, 12.6 billion processed US Consumer IDs, and forty years of retailer trust no competitor can replicate. Media Math, the demand execution layer selected by Walmart Connect for its businesses in Mexico, Central America, and Chile, is the single platform running purchase-optimized bidding, closed-loop measurement, and unified omnichannel orchestration across every retailer we power.

The RM BU's Charter is to convert Catalina's retailer relationships into In-Store RM platform contracts. It is responsible for standing up and selling the industry's first in-store programmatic media solution, a three-surface offering (in-store, onsite, offsite) delivered as a white-labeled platform under the retailer's own brand.

The RM BU is the single point of accountability for:

  • Retailer conversion:
    Converting existing Catalina retailer relationships into In-Store RM platform generating positive margin contribution by balancing, the cost of services, subscription, lease or platform fees for infillion assets, revenue share from ad sales and data as well as direct sales of all all three RM media channels (in-Store, digital on-Site, Off-site media).
  • In-Store RM go-to-market:
    Leading the commercial motion for the three-surface stack. Using Walmart Connect LATAM as the reference architecture for every retailer conversation.
  • Platform sequencing:
    Coordinating commercial commitments against confirmed platform readiness with the Platform Group (Product and Engineering).

Infillion is a composable advertising technology company built through eleven strategic acquisitions including Media Math (DSP execution), Catalina Marketing (purchase data and in-store activation), TrueX (engagement creative), Gimbal (location intelligence), and Drawbridge (identity resolution). The Catalina acquisition, closed February 2026, added 440M+ loyalty card records, 11 billion annual shopping trips, 91 million US households, and 1,000+ active CPG contracts built over four decades.

Together: 413 million shopper cards, 12.6 billion processed US Consumer IDs, and deterministic cross-retailer purchase behavior as the core data signal.

The In-Store RM Offering:

Three Surfaces, One Platform

  • In-Store:
    The physical store as a programmatic media surface. 184,000 in-lane printers across 29,000 US stores. Lane, checkout, DOOH, audio, and proximity, activated at the moment of decision. Integrating in-store purchase data into ROAS produces 80-plus percent improvement over e-commerce-only attribution. No competitor matches this at scale.
  • Onsite:
    The retailer's owned digital storefront. Sponsored display, product placements, closed-loop attribution to the basket. Live for Walmart Connect since 2024.
  • Offsite:
    The retailer's first-party data on the open web. CTV, OLV, social, programmatic display, DOOH, and audio. Table stakes, differentiated by the in-store signal and purchase data layer we bring.

Four-Component RM Stack

  • Unified omnichannel orchestration: white-labeled, all three surfaces, the retailer's own branded platform.
  • Purchase-optimized bidding engine: custom AI bidding trained on the retailer's own purchase data. Proprietary. No competitor can replicate it.
  • Four-layer audience and identity architecture: retailer first-party data, Catalina purchase intelligence, Infillion XGraph deterministic identity resolution, and supplemental audiences.
  • Closed-loop measurement: SKU-level incrementality, unified online and offline reporting, in-store attribution.

Key Responsibilities

P&L Ownership

  • Own the RM BU P&L end to end: revenue, gross profit, and OPEX targets.
  • Deliver Annual Targets while building pipeline for substantially larger targets as Catalina conversion scales.
  • Develop and manage the in-store revenue model by retailers ensuring a good value exchange and a portfolio of accounts with a positive contribution margin.

Retailer Conversion

  • Convert Catalina's retailer relationships into In-Store RM platform contracts. Priority: retailers contributing to the ATD cross-retailer audience pool anchoring Buyer Vision.
  • Own joint account plans with the Catalina Resolutions team for the top ten retailer pursuits, refreshed monthly.
  • Drive adoption of a innovative commercial model: flip the conversation from cost center to RM P&L contributor.
  • Leverage Catalina's 1,000-plus active CPG contracts as inbound demand flowing through retailer-owned RMNs, creating…
