Digital Client Director

You bring demonstrable experience managing digital media and advertising revenue, with the ability to run multiple campaigns and clients in parallel while keeping delivery quality and commercial outcomes on track. You’re confident influencing senior stakeholders-both internally across Nectar360 and the wider Sainsbury’s business, and externally with agencies and clients-to inspire commitment and investment in our digital platforms. You’ll have broad knowledge of the digital media landscape (including programmatic and direct buying, DMPs and media evaluation), paired with strong analytical and numerical skills to support decision-making and performance discussions. Clear written and verbal communication is essential, as is comfort working in a fast-moving, high-expectation environment. Experience with FMCG and/or retail clients is advantageous, and you’ll operate with integrity and personal accountability in a matrix organisation. Essential Criteria

Demonstrable working knowledge of digital media buying and measurement, including programmatic and/or direct buying, and media evaluation approaches. Proven ability to lead cross-functional planning and execution across multiple stakeholders (e.g., trading, analytics, planning, client services) to deliver against agreed client outcomes. Proven ability to manage financial accuracy in campaign delivery (e.g., billing validation, issue resolution with Finance, and ongoing tracking of errors). Proven ability to develop client capability through structured training or enablement on digital products/platforms.
