Job description

The client is seeking a Commercial Director to lead a newly established European growth role within a consumer services and regulated products business. This senior position will play a pivotal role in driving commercial performance, aligning multiple European markets under a unified operating model, and maximizing the potential of existing partnerships and customer channels. The role is central to the organization's transformation efforts as it invests in its next phase of growth and seeks to create a more integrated, pan-regional structure.

Reporting directly to a divisional President, the Commercial Director will be responsible for translating strategic objectives into commercial execution, with a focus on sustainable revenue and margin growth. Key responsibilities include leading commercial strategy across European markets, developing effective pricing and go-to-market strategies, identifying new growth opportunities, and overseeing market trading performance. The role will also involve partnering with finance, operations, sales, and other functional leaders to support commercial decision-making, as well as sponsoring key transformation and growth initiatives across the region.

The ideal candidate will have significant senior commercial leadership experience within a consumer-facing, multi-market environment, with a proven track record in driving revenue growth and commercial performance. Experience in regulated B2C sectors such as insurance, warranty, subscription-based services, utilities, or telecommunications is highly valued. Strong commercial and financial acumen, advanced analytical skills, and the ability to lead cross-functional teams are essential. The position requires resilience, pragmatism, and a hands-on approach, along with a willingness to travel regularly across European locations.
