This role sits at the heart of that evolution. As Head of Sustainability Transformation, you will lead the strategic transformation of Tesco’s sustainability agenda, ensuring our commitments are translated into scalable, embedded and measurable change across the Group. You will drive delivery of complex programmes that reduce risk, create long-term value, and accelerate progress against our Planet Plan, regulatory obligations and Net Zero pathway.
