Head of Commercial - Sustainable Products


On our fast track journey to Net Zero and ensuring our commitment to decarbonise the industry, we want to bring a specialist into our group structure to ensure we keep on track, but most importantly ready ourselves for the Retrofit revolution and align some brilliant, sustainable product capabilities to our product portfolio across our group. 


The purpose of this role is to work with all of the businesses in the Travis Perkins plc group to introduce and develop the right products to meet retrofit and wider product sustainability needs for now and into the future for our customers. 


Our working environment is ever changing, challenging and enjoyable. Here are a few things we would like you to lead on, however, this is an autonomous, entrepreneurial environment where you’ll have the opportunity to stretch your skills and ambition.


Opportunities:- 


  • Work across the group in conjunction with the group sustainable leadership team and business directors. 
  • Lead on the commercial development and progress of Sustainable Products and Services - both for retrofit and to meet other customer sustainability goals.
  • Develop a group wide procurement strategy to meet decarbonisation targets, supported by business-unit level Scope 3 roadmaps.
  • Determine the Sustainable product definitions which can be shared across all of our businesses.
  • Work with each of the TP Group business Commercial Directors to build their sustainability offering in line with customer needs.
  • Conduct or commission market analysis and research to find product gaps and to identify current and future strategic product opportunities and challenges. 
  • Supplier development and management, in conjunction with the business Commercial Directors.
  • Drive innovation of new products offering and where possible include product trials and implementation.


Who are we looking for? 


Well… We need someone who is experienced in commercial and category management, and who is passionate about sustainability and changing the way we work to secure a better future.


We’re a large group, so someone who enjoys being part of a complex matrix environment, who can efficiently navigate the challenges would work really well. 


Most importantly we want game changers, people who can take us into the future to benefit our customers and our product and service offering.


Not Sure you Qualify? We’re driving to become a truly inclusive employer, where everyone in our Group feels safe, welcome and confident to be their authentic selves - you be you, it makes us, us, as we say. If you’re interested in this opportunity but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly, we encourage you to apply anyway. You might be just the right candidate for this or other roles with us.

To keep our business and customers safe, if you are successful in the role you will be made a conditional offer subject to additional background checks including criminal record (basic DBS), adverse financial, media search, directors search, occupational history.
