About Colateral
Colateral helps retailers and location-based businesses understand, manage and grow store-first retail media opportunities across physical and digital channels.
Our platform supports the planning, management and execution of retail media activity, helping customers turn complex store, location and campaign data into commercial opportunity.
As retail media continues to expand beyond purely digital channels, Colateral is focused on helping businesses unlock the value of their physical locations, supplier relationships and media assets in a more intelligent and scalable way.
The role
We are looking for a Commercial Director to help lead the next phase of Colateral’s growth.
This is a senior, hands-on commercial role, reporting to the CEO. The successful candidate will be responsible for driving new business, developing existing customer relationships, identifying strategic partnerships and helping shape our commercial strategy as the business continues to grow.
The role requires someone who can operate credibly at senior level with customers and partners, while also being comfortable owning pipeline, progressing deals and helping build a repeatable commercial model.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
