What you'll do

You will develop a deep understanding of the business and clients' objectives to create and evaluate outstanding data-led campaigns across the Nectar360 Media Services toolkit. You will build relationships with clients and key stakeholders, identifying revenue opportunities and recommending optimal bespoke Nectar360 solutions aligned with client segmentations. Your responsibilities will also include presenting campaign strategies to clients, managing projects, representing the Planning team in business change projects or with internal Sainsbury's teams, and establishing regular communication platforms within the internal "virtual team." Additionally,





you will be involved in mentoring junior team members to support their development and staying updated on industry trends and competitive threats to continuously improve services and capabilities. Strong project management, communication, and presentation skills, along with a customer-centric mindset and experience in loyalty or CRM, will be essential for success in this role.

you deliver customer-centric projects that leverage data insights to drive commercially advantageous campaigns. Furthermore, your exceptional communication and presentation skills allow you to build strong relationships with clients and key stakeholders, influencing them with your recommendations and gaining their trust. Your passion for staying up to date with industry trends and your focus on digital, personalisation, and data-led capabilities contribute to continuous improvement and growth in our services to clients.

Responsibilities

We’d all like amazing work to do, and real work-life balance. That’s waiting for you at Sainsbury’s. Everything our Nectar team does is powered and fuelled by data — and by great relationships with some of the UK’s favourite brands. The Nectar 360 team focuses on developing loyalty programmes,





turning amazing data into something that makes a difference, traditional media and digital. It’s like an agency-within-a-retailer, and retail media is crucial. The culture might not be what you expect either, because there’s no set-up quite like this one. The team is a real priority because it’s connected to everything the business does and drives profitability. It’s where you can take risks, learn from them and be recognised.

Qualifications

We are committed to being a truly inclusive retailer, so you’ll be welcomed whoever you are and wherever you work. Around here,





there’s always the chance to try something new - whether that’s as part of an evolving team or somewhere else across the business - and we take development seriously and promise to support you. We also recognise and celebrate colleagues when they go the extra mile and, where possible, offer flexible working. When you join our team, we’ll also offer you an amazing range of benefits. Here are some of them:

Starting off with colleague discount, you'll be able to get 10% off at Sainsbury's, Argos, TU and Habitat after 4 weeks. This increases to 15% off at Sainsbury’s every Friday and Saturday and 15% off at Argos every pay day. We've also got you covered for your future with our pensions scheme and life cover. You'll also be able to share in our success as you may be eligible for a performance-related target bonus of up to 10% of salary (which may vary for Nectar360), depending on how we perform.







Your wellbeing is important to us too. You'll receive an annual holiday allowance and you can buy additional holiday. We also offer other benefits that will help your money go further such as season ticket loans, cycle to work scheme, health cash plans, pay advance (where you can access some of your pay before pay day) as well access to a great range of discounts from hundreds of other retailers. And if you ever need it there is also an employee assistance programme.

Moments that matter are as important to us as they are to you which is why we give up to 26 weeks’ pay for maternity or adoption leave and up to 4 weeks’ pay for paternity leave.

Please see www.sainsburys.jobs for a range of our benefits (note, length of service and eligibility criteria may apply).
