Sustainability Lead

At Argos, we're a digital-led UK retailer that keeps pushing boundaries to meet every generation with what they want, how and when they want it. As a market leader in general merchandise, serving millions of customers through our website, app, same-day delivery and Click & Collect services, we offer real opportunities to learn, grow and shape your career. With roles spanning Commercial, Buying, Merchandising, Design and Supply Chain, through to Digital, Operations, Customer Experience, Marketing, and People and Transformation, you will work with brilliant colleagues and directly shape how we serve our customers every day.

From enabling inspiring choice across our owned brands, including Habitat, Chad Valley and Bush, alongside the world’s biggest brands like Apple, Lego, Xbox and Samsung, to making shopping effortlessly convenient, championing trusted value and accelerating our strategy - Argos is an exciting place to build your future.

Sustainability is a big part of how we're shaping the future of Argos, and this is an opportunity to be right at the heart of it.

As our Sustainability Lead, you'll be our carbon specialist, leading our carbon programme and helping turn our environmental ambitions into meaningful action. From understanding our carbon footprint and shaping our route to net zero, to working with teams and suppliers to identify and deliver emissions reductions, you'll help drive decarbonisation across our operations and wider value chain.

It's a varied role with plenty of scope to make an impact. You'll work across Commercial, Technical, Sourcing, Property, Logistics, Finance and Sustainability, bringing people together around a shared goal and using carbon data and insight to help us make better, lower-carbon decisions.

You'll lead our carbon reduction programme across Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, translating our commitments into clear plans, targets and practical actions that can make a real difference.

A big part of your role will be bringing together carbon, operational, supplier and product data to understand our emissions profile, where our biggest opportunities are and where we need to focus next. You'll monitor and drive progress towards our net zero ambitions, supporting carbon reporting, climate disclosures and wider sustainability requirements.

Collaboration will be key. You'll partner with teams across Argos to identify and deliver opportunities to reduce emissions and embed decarbonisation into the way we work and make decisions. You'll also work with suppliers and external partners to help address emissions across our wider value chain, particularly Scope 3.

You'll help shape the policies, standards and guidance that underpin our approach to carbon, keeping an eye on emerging climate and carbon requirements and making sure risks and opportunities are understood and acted on.

Most importantly, you'll make carbon clear and actionable. Whether you're sharing insights with stakeholders, supporting governance and decision-making or coordinating decarbonisation initiatives, you'll help turn complex carbon challenges into practical steps forward.

We're looking for someone who combines strong carbon expertise with the confidence to bring people with them. You'll be comfortable working with emissions data and technical detail, but equally able to step back, tell the story behind the numbers and influence stakeholders across a complex organisation.
