Better pricing and promotions need commercial decisions that work in the real world.

As H&B transforms its approach to pricing and promotions, we need to make sure our commercial strategy translates into decisions that work for customers, suppliers and colleagues in our stores. The opportunity is to improve how we invest in discounts, simplify promotions and make pricing decisions that deliver real commercial value.

As Commercial Trading Lead, you'll bring the Category and store-trading perspective into this 18-month transformation. You'll help shape the new approach, lead commercial input into trials and work across teams to make sure changes are commercially sound and practical to deliver.

You'll also play a key role in developing our price-matching approach and embedding better pricing and promotions ways of working across the business.

We exist to make health and wellness a way of life for everyone, adding quality years to life. With more than 150 years of experience, we bring together knowledge, evidence-led thinking and practical support to help people move forward on their own wellness journeys. Making our pricing and promotions work better for customers is one way we bring that purpose to life.

• Represent Category and retail trading requirements in programme decisions, bringing together supplier considerations, own-brand strategy, key value item priorities and store execution needs.
• Shape and coordinate the commercial input to trials covering promotion simplification, changes to promotional mechanics, discount stacking, price matching and key value item pricing.
• Work with Category, Trade Planning, Retail Operations and Marketing to secure timely decisions, inputs and execution readiness, resolving practical issues before they affect delivery.
• Lead the trading input into product price matching, helping expand match coverage as our data develops and working with Category teams to ensure matched products are suitable alternatives.
• Balance customer needs, supplier economics, margin and operational considerations when making commercial recommendations.
• Help build and embed the future pricing and promotions governance model, including clear decision guardrails and consistent Category ways of working.
• Turn trial results and commercial learning into practical rules and approaches that teams can use in day-to-day trading.
