Position Summary
Work for Nestlé UK as Senior Digital Commerce Manager, partnering with a strategic UK grocery retail customer to accelerate Nestlé’s online market share growth. The role sits at the intersection of commercial strategy, digital decision‑making, and executive‑level customer partnership. While the commercial account team retains full P&L ownership, this role is designed to create disproportionate impact by shaping how online decisions are prioritised and executed within the retailer. You will operate as a trusted advisor, influencing long‑term growth levers rather than managing day‑to‑day execution. For the right individual, this role offers rare immersion inside a leading UK retailer, accelerated learning and a clear pathway into senior digital or commercial leadership roles.

* Act as Nestlé’s senior digital decision partner within a strategic retail customer, operating with credibility and autonomy
* Identify and translate cross‑category Nestlé learnings into actionable recommendations that improve online visibility, relevance, and conversion
* Influence how the retailer prioritises products, availability, substitution, and recommendation decisions in high‑intent moments
* Work closely with Nestlé Account Controller, Brand, Category, Supply Chain and Media teams to ensure alignment with agreed decision principles
* Establish and maintain clear governance, success metrics and learning loops for the partnership
* Support the development of scalable playbooks and frameworks applicable across other customers over time
* Provide clear evidence‑based recommendations that improve speed and quality of decision‑making
* Monitor external trends, competitor behaviour and emerging technologies to ensure Nestlé remains ahead of market evolution
