Come and grow with our Nectar Media Agency product family 

Nectar is the largest loyalty coalition programme in the UK so it’s safe to say we know our millions of customers pretty well. We build brilliant tech on top of rich first party data, to offer brands an insight into what makes their customers tick and what they might be interested in. All this drives sales back into our stores and therefore our bottom line – win, win.

Our media agency technology is market leading, cutting edge and fast-moving. We’re at the heard of Nectar360’s strategy which means lots of eyes are on us – and you’d be central to our success. You’ll support end-to-end delivery by maintaining a 90-day product roadmap and full-year backlog. This, of course means prioritising effectively, escalating challenges as necessary and being hands-on with the development, delivering innovative functionality into the hands of users.

You’ll have your finger on the pulse of our development squads and work closely with a range of teams and third parties including some of the tech giants. You’ll have great support from your manager in this space and work together to drive the product forward. 

You’ll be bold, curious, resilient and empathetic and able to connect with stakeholders and the team in an authentic way. What’s more, you’ll be comfortable with making decisions, challenging assumptions and taking risks.

About the role:

You will own and articulate the Vision, Strategy, and Roadmap for Data & Insights, ensuring alignment with both business objectives and customer needs. You will drive impactful change by ruthlessly prioritising initiatives based on value, leveraging data and research to guide decision-making and maximise outcomes. You will collaborate as part of a cross-functional team—including Engineers, Analysts, Data Scientists, and Product Managers—to deliver innovative Data & Insights solutions. You will work closely with a wide variety of stakeholders across internal teams, clients, and third parties, effectively shaping and influencing feature development. You will continuously review, optimise, and iterate on existing capabilities, introducing new features to better meet customer needs and deliver greater business value. You will foster a culture of continuous improvement, encouraging experimentation and learning to keep the product at the forefront of data and analytics innovation. You will translate complex business requirements into clear, actionable user stories and sprint goals, ensuring the team delivers intuitive, accessible, and impactful products. You will maintain up-to-date documentation and drive efficient product processes, such as agile ceremonies, to support high-performance delivery.

What we’re looking for:

Relevant Experience: You have experience in a technical, data product, or business analyst role. Any prior background in developing Data or Insights products, especially those incorporating Machine Learning (ML) or Artificial Intelligence (AI), will be highly valuable. Strategic Vision: You can articulate and drive a clear vision and strategy for data products, aligning business goals with customer needs and market trends. Data-Driven Decision Making: You leverage quantitative and qualitative data to inform product direction, measure success, and identify areas for improvement. Stakeholder Management: You excel at communicating with, influencing, and managing expectations of a diverse range of stakeholders—across technical, commercial, and executive functions. Prioritisation Skills: You are skilled at prioritising initiatives based on value and impact, ensuring the team focuses on what matters most. Process Efficiency: You drive efficient and effective product processes, such as agile ceremonies and precise, up-to-date documentation. Customer Focus: You have a deep empathy for end users, ensuring that products are intuitive, accessible, and genuinely solve real-world problems. You are adept at translating business requirements into clear user stories and sprint goals for the team. Technical Curiosity: You understand modern data architectures, analytics platforms, and emerging trends in data and AI, enabling you to make informed decisions and trade-offs. You are technically curious and comfortable working directly with engineers, architects, and third parties, building real software.  Commitment to Learning: You are committed to learning and growth—there’s plenty to absorb here, and our thriving product community offers lots of opportunities to hone your skills. Courage and Innovation: You are courageous and understand that failing forward is part of innovation. You’ll collaborate with the team to weigh data and risks, experimenting with new and exciting solutions.  Relationship Building: You are a people person—ready to build strong relationships and help foster a brilliant team culture, making Sainsbury’s a fantastic place to work. Industry Experience: If you have experience working with retail media, data, insight, or programmatic advertising, that’s the icing on the cake. We’d love to hear from you.

In return you’ll get:

Colleague discount across the multi-brands – Sainsbury’s, Argos and Habitat Holiday allowance Bonus scheme Pension plan Special offers on gym memberships, restaurants, holidays, retail vouchers and more
