Head of Retail Media
Have you built or scaled a Retail Media function within Grocery, FMCG, or Retail? Do you have experience creating supplier-funded commercial opportunities and driving new revenue streams? Looking for the opportunity to build a new business unit from the ground up?
MacGregor Black is partnering with a leading UK Wholesale & Retail business on the search for a Head of Retail Media. This is a permanent role based in West London, with five days per week on-site.
This is a rare opportunity to build, lead, and scale a brand-new Retail Media function. Reporting into the Head of Marketing, you'll take full ownership of the commercial strategy, operational delivery, and long-term growth of the Retail Media Centre, creating a new supplier-funded revenue stream across both Wholesale and Retail channels.
You'll have the autonomy to shape the function, build a specialist team, and establish a market-leading Retail Media proposition working with some of the UK's largest FMCG brands.
