Retail Media is growing FAST – can you be a big part of Connections’ own growth journey?

Position: Partnership and Program Operations Manager

Connections is a media business at the heart of retail media.
We exclusively represent some of North
America’s best family retailers, like Carter’s and Shutterfly.

Our role is to monetize their media programs – from customer emails and post checkout page ads, through
to samples and leaflets in their stores and home deliveries.

We’re a small team with a big opportunity – and we need a key
team member to help us achieve that ambition!

Every person at Connections is focused on business growth – and this important role is no exception.

Your role

The biggest part of the role is to manage retailers’ programs, using our proprietary software. This needs a great organizational ability, combined with a nose for
business.

Operations include coordinating physical deliveries of samples and
print, through to making sure digital assets are correct and everything is approved by the retailers.

This position drives growth in two ways –
making sure communication and operations are first class, and finding opportunities from our programs
that the sales team can convert. It needs one eye
on detail, but the other on the lookout for opportunity.

The same skills will be needed for the other key part of the role, which is working with the sales team to prospect for new
retailers and advertisers.

Although backed by a larger group, Connections is a
small, very busy team that acts
like a start-up – so you’ll also need to be
prepared to get involved wherever the team
needs it.

You’ll need to be an
exceptional individual – but this is an exceptional opportunity!
