Job Summary: The Senior Manager, Media Retail Strategy will guide brand partners through Amazon Retail Media and broader digital advertising strategy, grounded in Netrush's Modern Commerce Playbook. This is a strategic partnership role: the Strategist sets the direction, builds the narrative, and earns partner trust at the executive level, then translates that strategy into clear, actionable direction for the operators who execute it.
The Senior Manager, Media Retail Strategy is a natural storyteller and advisor who can distill complex retail media performance into a compelling executive narrative, and who leads through clear communication and direction rather than hands-on execution.
