Retail Performance Lead

Job Description

Join the team behind iconic brands like Huggies®, Kleenex®, Cottonelle®, Scott®, Kotex®, Poise®, Depend®, and Kimberly-Clark Professional®.

At Kimberly-Clark, it’s all here for you—innovation, growth, and the chance to make a real impact. 

You’re not the person who will settle for just any role.

Neither are we.

Because we’re out to create Better Care for a Better World, and that takes a certain kind of person and teams who care about making a difference.

Here, you’ll bring your professional expertise, talent, and drive to building and managing our portfolio of iconic, ground-breaking brands.

In this role, you’ll help us deliver better care for billions of people around the world.

It starts with YOU. 

About You

In one of our professional roles, you’ll focus on winning with consumers and the market, while putting safety, mutual respect, and human dignity at the center.

As the Retail Performance Lead, you will be accountable for shaping and delivering the end‑to‑end retail media and shopper strategy that accelerates growth for Andrex® and Kleenex® across priority UK retailers.

Based in Walton Oaks with a hybrid working model, you will set the Shopper Marketing investment strategy, own Picture of Success (PoS) principles, elevate fixture and merchandising standards for the future, and lead senior partnerships with retail media networks.
You will coach a high‑performing team, embed best‑in‑class ways of working across Marketing and Commercial functions, and ensure omnichannel campaigns—including NPD launches—land with impact, on time and on budget.

You bring together commercial acumen, shopper insight, and retail media expertise to unlock sustainable growth with UK grocery and omnichannel partners.

You’re both a strategic thinker and a hands‑on execution leader, able to connect brand strategy with in‑store and online conversion.
You thrive in cross‑functional environments, influence senior stakeholders, optimise media and retail investments, and build capability within teams.

You operate with curiosity, collaboration, and a strong consumer and shopper mindset.

In this role you will:


* Lead strategy for retail media - define investment guardrails, role of channel, and funding split to maximize ROI and incrementality across customers and brands.


* Shape integrated media strategy that connects ATL and retail media/BTL, creating coherent full‑funnel journeys from awareness to conversion across in‑store, online and convenience channels.


* Own Picture of Success (PoS) and shopper playbooks, ensuring shopper principles, touchpoint design, and retailer‑specific activation guidance are current, high‑quality and easy to use.


* Drive fixture and merchandising transformation by defining the future aisle vision, leading pilots, and embedding behavioural-science‑based standards that improve navigation, value communication and conversion.
