Are you passionate about data-driven marketing, e-commerce, and digital advertising? Do you have a knack for understanding customer behavior and building strong relationships? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you at Nectar360!
As a Digital Strategist, you'll be at the forefront of our loyalty, data, and marketing services business. Our 1st party data (Nectar) is the key to unlocking customer understanding across various Sainsbury’s businesses and supplier base (FMCG and GM brands). You'll be working in one of the fastest-growing and dynamic areas of the business, driving significant profit growth from Nectar360’s data-driven digital media offering – both onsite (Sainsbury’s & Argos e-Commerce) and offsite (our Digital Trading Platform (DTP)) monetisation.
In this role, you'll need a unique blend of data literacy, digital channel knowledge, relationship-building expertise, commercial drive, and stakeholder management. You'll be a strategic thinker with a passion for data-driven marketing, e-commerce, digital advertising, and understanding customer behavior. Your responsibilities will include creating data insight-based proposals for partners and clients, planning and refreshing audiences to power effective use of 1st party data, and working with analytics colleagues to deliver evaluations and confidently present results.
You'll also demonstrate a strategic mindset by understanding the key business challenges of our partners and agencies, champion digital channels to the wider business, publishers, and agencies, and support the Senior Digital Data Strategist and client-facing teams to deliver digital budget. Your expertise in digital media channels will be crucial as you interface with FMCG clients and partners to provide bespoke targeting recommendations and drive best practice recommendations for audience selections.
To be successful in this role, you should have experience in a digital media or data planning role in a consultative environment, strong client liaison skills, extensive knowledge of segmentation and profiling techniques for direct marketing and loyalty campaigns, and a good understanding of programmatic and social media platforms. You should also be confident in leading projects and engaging wider business functions, have advanced skills in PowerPoint and Excel, and possess excellent written and verbal communication skills.
At Nectar360, we value proactive problem-solving, curiosity about FMCG and digital media, and the ability to take ownership of key areas and prioritize work to deliver on team and business goals. You'll be highly organized, confident in building stakeholder and colleague relationships, and comfortable with some ambiguity from external market changes and the constant evolution of the digital channel offering to clients.
Join us in delivering Nectar360’s digital aspirations and our ambitious growth plans – growing our profits by 60% over the next five years. You'll have access to our Nectar360 training programme, Navigator & the Our Sainsburys Learning Hub, opportunities for internal mentorship and coaching, personal development tools, IAB training courses and seminars, and regular inspirational speakers hosted at our Holborn SSC.
