At Action, circularity is key to our sustainability drive. Can you imagine the impact that circularity could have when selling billions of high-quality, low-priced products in over two thousand stores across Europe? As circular product specialist at Europe’s fastest growing retailer you’ll lead and evolve our circularity strategy. Because at Action, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do.

This is your daily action

You’ll be the go-to expert for all circularity-related questions, taking on the responsibility for embedding the circularity strategy in our buying processes. Based on Action’s Sustainability Programme, competitor benchmarking and the different regulations throughout our territories.

Currently, our circularity efforts are focused on the sourcing of raw materials. You will identify potential new areas for the adoption of circularity and you will drive our ambition to expand our sustainable product offering, introducing relevant innovations, recyclable materials and designs. To this end, you will keep up with trends, developments and regulations.

Reporting to the sustainability manager, you will define circularity ambitions and KPIs, including related product and product category ambitions. You’ll also take the lead in reporting on progress, targets and quantitative insights. In addition, you’ll check and secure supplier circularity information and will be responsible for efficient and effective data capturing and management for analysing and reporting purposes.

Based on the insights gained, you will make product improvement recommendations. And you will develop and implement a company-wide, harmonised circularity approach. You will also devise product-specific circularity scenarios stimulating re-use of materials and reducing waste significantly. To achieve all this, you’ll be working closely with the buyers of all our product categories, the commercial department and other internal and external stakeholders. Because making a difference is a team effort!

Meet your team

In Action’s Quality and Sustainability department we drive the standards for 12,000+ products, sold in over 2,000 stores across ten countries, and still counting. Meeting EU and national regulations as well as customer expectations requires serious expertise and commitment. Your 25+ colleagues thrive on securing product quality, social compliance, packaging and raw material sourcing policies. As Action grows, so do we, offering you great opportunities for personal growth and career advancement in an energetic, collaborative, supportive and fun team!

This is you

It’s your ambition to make an impact on our environment and you thrive on working in a fast-paced international environment. You embrace blue-sky thinking and translating ideas in practical changes, complying with varying regulations across Europe. Life Cycle Assessment, circularity methodologies and Circular Transitional Indicators are the tools of your trade.

You are able to combine entrepreneurship with communication and presentation skills to convince internal and external stakeholders of your approach and recommendations.

You also have:

  • Graduate-level ability or training in a relevant subject.
  • Demonstrable experience in working in a sustainability or circularity role, preferably in a retail, manufacturing or product development environment.
  • Project management experience.
  • Good knowledge of MS Office. Advanced Excel skills would be a plus.
  • An excellent command of English, both written and spoken. And preferably a working knowledge of Dutch.

What we offer

Working in an international environment, you get to team up with highly driven professionals. Action has over 2,000 stores in ten European countries and we open new stores every week. As Action grows, so do you. We offer plenty of career opportunities for you to evolve within our company.
