Overview
There has never been a more exciting time to join Screwfix. With bold growth ambitions and a clear focus on accelerating the business, we’re investing in the initiatives that will define our next phase of growth.
From expanding our B2B offering, to evolving our digital experience, to transforming logistics and assortment, we’re driving business-led transformation at pace, with technology acting as a key enabler. The challenge now is not just delivery, but ensuring the right initiatives are shaped, prioritised and sequenced to maximise impact across the business.
This role plays a critical role in shaping how that ambition is delivered.
We’re looking for a Transformation Programme Manager to take ownership of a portfolio of high-impact growth initiatives, operating upstream of delivery to shape direction, challenge readiness, and support critical decisions around investment, prioritisation and trade-offs. You’ll ensure initiatives are set up for success and delivered with clarity, pace and real commercial impact.
