Senior Retail Media Manager

Jellyfish is seeking a Senior Manager, Retail Media to lead campaign strategy, activation, and performance across multiple retail media networks for a major, high-visibility household brand. This is a hands-on, client-facing role at the center of an account we are actively investing in and elevating.

You will own a multi-retailer portfolio spanning Walmart Connect, Target Roundel, Criteo, and Home Depot's Orange Apron Media.

We are looking for someone fluent in self-service retail media platforms who can build and defend a point of view with clients, and who treats budget governance and operational rigor as core to the craft rather than an afterthought.

This is a senior seat with real autonomy. You will receive clear scope, priorities, and senior-level direction, and from there you will run your platforms end to end and lead the team supporting them, anticipating what the client and account leadership need and bringing solutions alongside the issues you raise.

• →

• 5+ years in retail media or commerce media, with hands-on, in-platform ownership of self-service retail media networks.

• Demonstrated depth in Walmart Connect and/or Target Roundel (TPA / self-service). Criteo self-service is a strong complement. Experience across two or more of these is a significant advantage.

• Broader retail media experience across networks such as Amazon Ads, Instacart, Kroger Precision Marketing, CitrusAd, or Home Depot's Orange Apron Media is welcome and valued.

• Strong command of budget management fundamentals: pacing, caps, flighting, invoice reconciliation, and spend or billing discrepancy resolution.

• Demonstrated experience owning client-facing communication: leading performance readouts, defending recommendations, and managing expectations under scrutiny.

• A genuine understanding of what client and campaign management actually are: owning the operating rhythm, connecting platform activity to client objectives, and leading the conversation rather than reporting into it.

• Experience managing, mentoring, or directing junior team members such as Associates or Senior Associates, including delegating work, reviewing output, and developing people over time.

• Proven self-direction at a senior level: you have owned platforms or workstreams where you set the plan, executed it, and reported up.

• Exceptional organizational command across campaigns, budgets, timelines, and client deliverables, supported by structured trackers, documented process, and clean campaign taxonomies.

• Advanced Excel and analytical skills, with the ability to move from platform exports to an executive-ready story.

• US-based with availability to work core US business hours (Central or Eastern time zone preferred).

• Familiarity with Skai, Pacvue, or a similar retail media management platform.

• Direct experience managing Walmart Connect or Roundel through a major tentpole event (Deals Week, Circle Week, holiday) at meaningful spend levels.

• Experience navigating retailer credit and make-good processes or platform outage remediation.

• Experience working with distributed or offshore execution teams, providing clear briefs and quality control.

• Experience with reporting and visualization tools such as Tableau or Looker.

• Category experience in home care, home appliances, or durable goods.

• Familiarity with retail media measurement nuances: attribution windows, in-store versus online attribution, and dual-seat or duplication risk.

The account is in an active build phase. Platform structures are being rebuilt, the measurement approach is being redefined, and the retail media operating model is being designed now. You would join early enough to shape how it works and senior enough for your point of view to carry.
