Tesco Media is the ultimate media partner to brands. Built on unrivalled customer insight, it’s a media owner with soul, scale, and storytelling power. Tesco Media helps brands and agencies connect meaningfully with customers, drive creative effectiveness, and grow at the point of purchase.
Tesco Media is looking for a Head of Strategy & Planning to lead an established, multidisciplinary function into its next phase of growth.
Our Strategy & Planning function brings together media planning, client strategy and insight to help brands and agencies make better, more effective decisions. The team develops client growth plans, delivers thought leadership and turns customer insight into compelling recommendations that create measurable commercial value.
This is not a traditional strategy role. It is a senior commercial growth leadership position for someone who can connect strategy with execution, simplify complexity and bring teams together around shared priorities.
You will lead a team of 19 across strategy, planning and insight, building the standards, tools and capabilities that enable high-quality client conversations and scalable revenue growth. Working closely with commercial, product, proposition, measurement, research and marketing teams, you will help shape the future of Tesco Media’s client offering and strengthen its position as a leader in retail media.
You will be a strategic and commercially minded leader who can see the bigger picture while ensuring that ideas translate into practical action. You will be comfortable navigating complexity, creating clarity and building trusted relationships across different teams and disciplines.
You will combine planning excellence with a strong understanding of client growth, customer insight and commercial effectiveness. Most importantly, you will be an inclusive people leader who can set a clear direction, develop talent and inspire work that raises the standard for retail media.
We won't just meet your expectations. We'll defy them. So you'll enjoy the comprehensive rewards package you'd expect from a leading technology company. But also, a degree of personal flexibility you might not expect. Plus, thoughtful perks, like flexible working hours and your birthday off.
And we don't just talk about diversity and inclusion. We live it every day – with thriving networks including dh Gender Equality Network, dh Proud, dh Family, dh One, dh Enabled and dh Thrive as the living proof. We want everyone to have the opportunity to shine and perform at your best throughout our recruitment process — please let your recruiter know what adjustments would help.
At dunnhumby, we value and respect difference and are committed to building an inclusive culture by creating an environment where you can balance a successful career with your commitments and interests outside of work.
We believe that you will do your best at work if you have a work / life balance. Some roles lend themselves to flexible options more than others, so if this is important to you please raise this with your recruiter, as we are open to discussing agile working opportunities during the hiring process.
