The Retail Media and Analytics department is a digital media and ad tech consultancy team supporting international brands across programmatic advertising, retail media, analytics and marketing technology.

Our work includes strategic media consultancy, platform reselling, account audits, campaign activation, client training and the implementation of platforms such as Display & Video 360 and Amazon DSP.

This is a senior, client-facing leadership role combining media-team leadership with strategic and commercial ownership of a portfolio of programmatic and ad-tech reselling clients.

First, you will lead a team delivering media services for international clients. You will provide strategic direction, support the development of the team and help strengthen our full-funnel activations, with a particular focus on Amazon DSP, from CTV and prospecting through to retargeting.

Second, you will own a portfolio of ad tech reselling clients, primarily using DV360. You will act as a senior client partner, responsible for strategic consultancy, account growth, renewals, commercial performance and delivery quality.

Expert knowledge of DV360 is essential. Previous Amazon DSP experience is desirable but not required, provided you have the ability and motivation to develop expertise in the platform.
