Business area: Nectar 360 Ltd
Closing date: 10 December 2025
Requisition ID: 400038594
We’d all like amazing work to do, and real work-life balance. That’s waiting for you at Sainsbury’s. Everything our Nectar team does is powered and fuelled by data — and by great relationships with some of the UK’s favourite brands. The Nectar 360 team focuses on developing loyalty programmes, turning amazing data into something that makes a difference, traditional media and digital. It’s like an agency-within-a-retailer, and retail media is crucial. The culture might not be what you expect either, because there’s no set-up quite like this one. The team is a real priority because it’s connected to everything the business does and drives profitability. It’s where you can take risks, learn from them and be recognised.
About the team
Join Nectar360, the in‑house media and data division partnering with Argos to create multi‑channel campaigns that monetise digital and in‑store platforms and deliver targeted, inspirational content for customers. As part of one of the UK’s leading multi‑channel retailers—with a national footprint across 800+ stores, web and mobile—you’ll operate at the heart of a high‑growth retail media business with the scale, data and ambition to match.
More about the role
As Campaign Delivery Director, you’ll lead the end‑to‑end delivery of supplier‑funded marketing activations for a portfolio spanning 300+ General Merchandise suppliers, ensuring every campaign is delivered on time and in full across 20+ media channels—covering on‑site (digital & social), direct, in‑store and publications. You will be the senior delivery interface for Argos Marketing and other internal functions, orchestrating inputs from up to 30 teams to uphold brand, data, legal and operational governance (including GSCOP), while driving executional excellence and continuous improvement.
You’ll forecast and manage a £multi‑million activation slate (c. £50m), protect profit margins, and surface performance insights, inventory updates and opportunities to senior leadership. A key part of the remit is to productise new media inventory, refine processes (including automation and selective outsourcing) and negotiate contracts and SLAs with partners. You’ll jointly lead and develop a delivery team of up to 16 colleagues—setting clear plans, removing blockers and building a high‑performing culture.
More about you
You bring a strong record delivering complex, multi‑channel campaigns across digital, direct and in‑store environments, paired with data literacy that shows how audiences are created and activated. You’re a disciplined project/programme operator who coordinates multiple streams at pace, communicates clearly and uses metrics to improve execution. Commercially sharp, you’re comfortable with forecasting, margin protection and supplier/agency negotiations, and you can influence stakeholders across marketing and adjacent functions.
You’re also a confident people leader—able to recruit, coach and develop talent, set transparent plans, and flex your style to build traction across teams. You question assumptions, evolve ways of working and stay close to industry trends so the team can spot risk early and seize opportunities that align with brand, creative, legal and operational standards.
Essential criteria
- Demonstrable experience of delivering supplier-funded campaigns across multiple media channels (digital, social, direct, in-store) with on-time, in-full accountability.
- A track record of managing a £multi-million activation portfolio, including forecasting, reporting and protecting profit margins.
- Proven ability to lead and develop a multi-level team, driving capacity planning, coaching and resource prioritisation.
- Experience of operating within brand, data, legal and governance frameworks (including GSCOP) and negotiating contracts/SLA with media partners.
- Demonstrable capability to coordinate numerous stakeholders and suppliers to deliver complex campaigns using clear plans and reporting.
