Why B&Q?

This is the kind of buying role where your decisions don't disappear into spreadsheets—they appear on shelves, online and in homes across the UK.

You'll own a significant category, balancing customer insight, market trends, supplier innovation and commercial performance to create compelling propositions that customers love and competitors notice.

You'll have the autonomy to make bold commercial decisions, backed by leaders who trust expertise, encourage challenge and value fresh thinking.

If you're motivated by ownership, pace and seeing the impact of your decisions at scale, you'll thrive here.

Challenge established thinking and bring innovative products to market

Influence senior stakeholders across Commercial, Supply Chain, Digital and Marketing functions

Build, coach and develop a high-performing buying team, creating future commercial leaders

You'll Be Successful In This Role If You Have

Significant experience leading complex buying or category strategies within a retail or commercial environment
Strong commercial judgement supported by customer insight and data-led decision making
A proven track record of delivering sales growth, margin improvement and commercial performance
Confidence influencing and negotiating at a senior level
Experience developing high-performing teams and future talent
