Who are we?
We’re the original pioneers in connected commerce marketing. Since 2008, we’ve been partnering with major retailers, powering global brands, and building meaningful connections with shoppers. We simplify the mind-boggling complexity of today’s retail media landscape. We deliver impactful campaigns that connect with people where it matters. We create seamless and personalised shopping experiences. Above all, we deliver amazing results for our partners, driven by our unshakeable desire for growth. Time after time, we change the game.

About the role
SMG builds the technology behind retail media networks (RMNs) - the planning, booking, and measurement platforms that our clients rely on to run in-store and digital campaigns. Plan-Apps sits at the heart of SMG. The Customer Experience team exists to help our clients get the most value out of Plan-Apps, making sure every user understands the platform and engages with it consistently. This is an entry-level role that will also support the wider Client Experience team as needed.
The Account Executive sits at the frontline of the platform experience, responsible for delivering consistently high-quality client service across a diverse set of users; including internal teams, retailers, brands, and agencies. They act as both a problem-solver and trusted day-to-day contact, combining hands-on support with light-touch investigation of user challenges. They are expected to understand not just what the issue is, but why it is happening, and guide users toward the best solution within the platform.
