Senior Client Executive

Job description

Job Description

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.

 

Nectar 360 - Senior Client Executive

Why join us

Joining Nectar360 means being part of an innovative and dynamic agency at the forefront of loyalty, insights, and media services. With Nectar, the UK's largest loyalty program, and our expertise in managing Sainsbury's shopper marketing services, we have unparalleled access to rich transactional and lifestyle data, enabling us to create impactful and relevant customer experiences for our brand partners. In this fast-paced and collaborative environment, we encourage innovation, autonomy, and future thinking, ensuring we stay ahead of the curve. As a Senior Client Executive, you will have the opportunity to develop deep client relationships, deliver annual revenue targets, and be at the forefront of shaping multi-channel campaigns that utilise new technologies. Join us and be part of a team where innovation thrives, and your contribution makes a real difference in the competitive landscape.

 

What you'll do

As a Senior Client Executive at Nectar360, your primary responsibility will be to develop a deep understanding of our business and capabilities, as well as Sainsbury's, in order to effectively manage client relationships and deliver on annual revenue targets. This will involve building strong relationships with clients to identify revenue opportunities and applying Nectar360 solutions based on their objectives. You will support clients in their annual planning process with Sainsbury's and ensure timely delivery of results, reporting and making recommendations based on campaign evaluation. Additionally, you will establish relationships with key personnel at Sainsbury's and relevant agencies, effectively manage revenue generation from pipeline to conversion, and ensure accurate forecasting and invoicing. Your proactive approach, strong project management skills, and ability to stay updated on industry trends and competitive threats will be instrumental in driving success in this role.

 

Who you are

As a Senior Client Executive at Nectar360, you are a results-driven professional with a deep understanding of our business capabilities, insights, and communications capabilities, as well as the retail landscape, particularly in the FMCG industry. With 1-2 years of previous client management experience, you have a proven track record in building strong client relationships and delivering against annual revenue targets. Your expertise in marketing practices, coupled with your strong project management, communication, and presentation skills, enable you to effectively understand and address client objectives, provide tailored solutions, and manage all aspects of client activity within budget and timelines. With your self-motivation and proactive attitude, you contribute to the success of the wider team and stay informed on industry trends and competitive threats to leverage opportunities for our clients.

 

We are committed to being a truly inclusive retailer, so you’ll be welcomed whoever you are and wherever you work. Around here, there’s always the chance to try something new - whether that’s as part of an evolving team or somewhere else across the business - and we take development seriously and promise to support you. We also recognise and celebrate colleagues when they go the extra mile and, where possible, offer flexible working. When you join our team, we’ll also offer you an amazing range of benefits. Here are some of them:

Starting off with colleague discount, you'll be able to get 10% off at Sainsbury's, Argos, TU and Habitat after 4 weeks. This increases to 15% off at Sainsbury’s every Friday and Saturday and 15% off at Argos every pay day. We've also got you covered for your future with our pensions scheme and life cover. You'll also be able to share in our success as you may be eligible for a performance-related target bonus of up to 5% of salary (which may vary for Nectar360), depending on how we perform.  

 Your wellbeing is important to us too. You'll receive an annual holiday allowance and you can buy additional holiday. We also offer other benefits that will help your money go further such as season ticket loans, cycle to work scheme, health cash plans, pay advance (where you can access some of your pay before pay day) as well access to a great range of discounts from hundreds of other retailers. And if you ever need it there is also an employee assistance programme.

 Moments that matter are as important to us as they are to you which is why we give up to 26 weeks’ pay for maternity or adoption leave and up to 4 weeks’ pay for paternity leave.
