The Costco Retail Media business will drive holistic company growth through enterprise-wide media tools and services that deliver new capabilities to buyers, suppliers, brands, and agencies. Costco Retail Media empowers brands to connect with our vast member base, driving impactful marketing campaigns and generating substantial revenue. We are seeking a passionate and results-driven Engineering Manager for Retail Media/AdTech to lead and grow our core platform, propelling us to the next level of success.

As the primary conduit between your employees and upper leadership, your role in communicating and modeling the values and guiding principles of our company culture is of vital importance.
