Digital Event Trading Lead; FTC

About the team

At Sainsbury's, digital is at the centre of how we serve customers whenever, wherever and however they choose to shop. Within Digital Commerce for General Merchandise, we work as one connected team across our brands and channels to create brilliant online experiences that deliver for customers and the business. This role sits in a fast-paced area at the heart of major customer moments, where digital events and campaigns play a key role in driving engagement, sales and profit across Argos and Habitat digital channels.

As Digital Event Trading Lead, you'll own the planning and execution of key customer events and campaign activity across the year. Working closely with Trade Planning, Commercial, Marketing and wider Ecommerce teams, you'll make sure events are well planned, clearly briefed and effectively activated across relevant digital touchpoints, including landing pages, homepage features and other onsite content. You'll help bring together the right products, promotions and messaging to maximise the customer experience and trading impact during key seasonal and campaign moments.

This is a highly collaborative and reactive role in a fast-moving environment. You'll monitor performance, respond to customer and commercial signals, and adapt plans where needed to improve outcomes. You'll also lead post-event reviews, share performance insights with stakeholders, keep a close eye on competitor execution, and drive testing and optimisation so we continuously improve how we deliver digital events.

You'll bring experience from a digital, ecommerce or online trading environment, ideally within a large-scale retail business, and be confident managing plans that involve multiple teams, deadlines and dependencies. You know how to turn a trading or campaign brief into a clear delivery plan, and you're comfortable working across functions to bring people with you and keep momentum high.

You’ll also be highly organised, commercially aware and confident using performance data to inform decisions. You can prioritise effectively in a fast-paced environment, adapt when circumstances change, and balance attention to detail with a strong understanding of the bigger picture. Just as importantly, you’ll enjoy working collaboratively, challenging constructively and looking for ways to improve how we do things.
