Position Summary

What can you expect from a career in the Nestlé Sales Team? Every day and Everywhere, we are building a Sales community of unique people, that thrive together, make a positive difference and deliver market leading results.

We're raising the bar for how digital retail gets done. As Retail Digital Media Lead, you'll build the UK's benchmark for lower-funnel performance, tightly connected and in partnership with our media teams and upper-funnel brand building teams. You'll unite search, retail media networks, product pages, promotions and availability into one simple plan that creates new incremental value: new households, bigger baskets, more repeat purchase - with proof in weeks, not quarters.

If you're obsessed with outcomes, love the craft of execution, and can simplify complex ecosystems into clear action - this is a career-defining role, with the opportunity to drive unforgettable communication across the market and win.

Your impact

* Build the system. Set a clear UK upper x lower-funnel RDM strategy, simple guardrails between Sales, Media and Marketing to unlock one integrated strategy that connects Brand, Sales, Digital Commerce and Retailer priorities.

* Create retailer playbooks across various touchpoints with our key partners and lead our media house relationships and councils. (Including but not limited to: Amazon Ads, Tesco Media, Nectar360, LSEleven, MMG, Ocado Ads, Co-Op Media Network, Iceland Media; plus, quick-commerce and B2B).

* Connect brand to basket. Set the governance and lead our teams to design world class connected activation from CTV/social/creator → retailer media → PDP → basket; reuse audiences and creative; share KPIs with Sales and Brand teams to unlock unforgettable communication on every occasion.

* Make measurement undeniable. Co-ordinate a UK Measurement Council; one KPI language and dashboard in a privacy-safe test/control environment whilst using other tools to triangulate. Scale only what proves incremental and pays back fast.

* Lead a forward-thinking learning agenda. Launch focused experiments by mission × retailer × category.

* Lead with partners and commercial teams. Lead best-in-class JBPs with commercial and media teams, secure co-funded pilots, and publish joint case studies that Digital Commerce market best practice and leverage RDM to maximise commercial value.

* Grow capability. Build an RDM community across the market where you can upskill the organisation (foundations → advanced).

Your impact is visible and measurable:

* New-to-Household

* PDP conversion

* Search share

* Cost per Add-to-Basket

* Weeks-to-payback met.

Your ingredients for success

* Proven lower-funnel results in UK grocery: you've lifted share of search, PDP conversion and basket adds, while cutting cost-per add to basket and cost per new to household/brand- with clean, trusted readouts.

* Hands-on retail media craft. You've "traded the desk" across RMNs (onsite and offsite to onsite), retail search/SEO and digital shelf - and you know how campaigns really run.

* Measurement fluency. Comfortable with test/control and geo-lift, confident reading MMM and other tools - and decisive about scaling by incrementality, not vanity metrics.

* Builder & simplifier. You make complex things usable: clear playbooks, simple dashboards, fast rituals, crisp narratives.

* Bridge-maker. Credible with Brand, Sales, Digital Commerce, Data, Supply and retailers; inclusive, practical and great at turning debate into action.

* Growth mindset. Curious, resourceful and energised by pace. You care about outcomes and about how people feel doing the work whilst being able to influence outcomes.

Other key attributes

* Commercially sharp (payback, contribution, mix).

* Storyteller with numbers - you make the "why" and "so what" obvious.

* Values-led: privacy-safe, brand-safe, shopper-first by design.

* Legacy builder - you leave teams better than you found them.
