There has never been a more exciting time tojoin Screwfix.

Screwfix is one of the UK's most successful and fastest-growing retailers, with over 1,000 stores, revenues of c.£2.5bn and a clear position as the UK & ROI's largest multi-channel retailer of trade tools, plumbing, electrical and hardware products. Our success is built on a simple but powerful customer purpose: helping our customers get theirjobs done quickly, affordably and right first time.

Digital sits at the heart of that proposition. Over 75% of the business is driven through our digital ecosystem, with customers moving seamlessly between our website, app, stores, Click & Collect and delivery services. From Sprint, our 20-minute delivery proposition, to personalised digital experiences, we continue to raise the bar for convenience in the trade sector.

Last year we launched Screwfix Rewards, now the UK's biggest trade loyalty programme, creating an even stronger connection with our customers and opening up new opportunities to deliver more personalised and rewarding experiences.

With continued investment in digital platforms, customer data and AI capabilities, we have strong foundations for the next phase of growth. We're looking for an exceptional ecommerce leader to build on that momentum, accelerating app growth, enhancing personalisation, improving customer experience and ensuring Screwfix remains at the forefront of digital retail innovation.

The Role

As Director of Ecommerce, you will be a senior leader within the Digital & Data function, reporting to our Digital & Data Director. Working closely with them and the wider leadership team, you will define and deliver the next chapter of Screwfix's ecommerce strategy.

You will inherit a highly successful digital business, with responsibility for online sales of c.£1.6bn and a significant digital marketing budget. Your remit spans web, app, digital trading, CRO and Sprint, our 20-minute delivery proposition, balancing delivery today with building the capabilities that will drive future growth.

As a senior leader, you will also play a critical role in developing and leading a high-performing ecommerce team. We will need a skilled people leader who can inspire, coach and empower colleagues, build strong leadership capability across the function, and create an environment where talent can thrive while delivering outstanding business results.

This is a broad commercial and customer leadership role. You will drive performance across key ecommerce metrics, lead our conversion rate optimisation programme, accelerate the growth of our app business, and use customer insight, loyalty, personalisation and AI to create simpler, faster and more relevant customer experiences. You will embed data-driven decision making, champion innovation and help shape the future of digital at Screwfix.
