  • Collaborate on briefs: Work hand-in-hand with internal teams to build compelling media and creative briefs that align with NEXT's commercial objectives.
  • Champion agency relationships: Build and nurture strong, collaborative working relationships with your daily counterparts at our external media agency.
  • Deliver actionable insights: Own the reporting lifecycle, translating complex campaign data into clear performance and creative insights for senior stakeholders.
  • Drive innovation: Keep your finger on the pulse of emerging technology and industry trends to ensure our digital media strategy remains truly best-in-class.

What You’ll Bring:

  • Platform confidence: Proven experience managing digital media activity within a retail or agency environment, including hands-on experience with Ads Manager platforms and a solid grasp of key metrics.
  • Analytical mindset: Strong numeracy skills and proficiency in Excel, with the ability to dig into data, spot trends, and draw logical conclusions.
  • Problem-solving flair: A sharp attention to detail and a methodical approach to tackling complex tasks or troubleshooting campaign performance.
  • Brilliant communication: The ability to present insights clearly and confidently to various internal teams and stakeholders.
  • Team spirit: A highly collaborative attitude, meaning you stay organised, work brilliantly with others, and thrive when navigating a fast-moving retail landscape.
