We’d all like amazing work to do, and real work-life balance. That’s waiting for you at Sainsbury’s. Everything our Nectar team does is powered and fuelled by data — and by great relationships with some of the UK’s favourite brands. The Nectar 360 team focuses on developing loyalty programmes, turning amazing data into something that makes a difference, traditional media and digital. It’s like an agency-within-a-retailer, and retail media is crucial. The culture might not be what you expect either, because there’s no set‑up quite like this one. The team is a real priority because it’s connected to everything the business does and drives profitability. It’s where you can take risks, learn from them and be recognised.
Nectar360 is not your typical corporate environment. We foster a culture that encourages innovation, autonomy, and future thinking. As a leader in the loyalty programme space, we have the unique opportunity to engage with over 350 FMCG suppliers to Sainsbury’s, which means you will be at the forefront of shaping and driving our success.

With a focus on building and managing client relationships, leading strategic planning processes, and driving business growth through insights and marketing solutions, you will have the opportunity to make a significant impact in a competitive industry. We offer a work‑life balance culture, continuous learning opportunities, and a collaborative environment where creative thinking is valued. If you're looking for an exciting and future‑focused company where you can grow both personally and professionally, we invite you to join us at Nectar360.
