Chief Growth Officer
Location: Yorkshire & The Humber
Smart Working Model: ~3 Days On-Site + Client Travel
Package: £130,000 - £155,000 Base Salary + Up to 50% Target Performance Bonus + LTIP + Executive benefits
The Opportunity
Our client is an established, highly respected national energy decarbonisation and sustainability enterprise undergoing a major commercial evolution.
Operating a high-growth, profit-for-purpose model, the organisation reinvests its net surpluses directly back into driving home energy efficiency, community decarbonisation, and social impact.
Working in direct executive partnership with the Chief Executive Officer and the Board, the Chief Growth Officer will hold total accountability for building and leading a newly integrated commercial engine.
You will transform a bold multi-year vision into fundable, long-term B2B commercial partnerships, innovative energy service propositions, and Tier 1 delivery frameworks across private sector corporate, utility, housing, and public domain markets.
For an ambitious, commercially astute executive, this position carries a succession pathway toward the Chief Executive Officer role over a 2–3 year horizon as part of long-term executive board planning.
The Chief Growth Officer will:
- Commercial Diversification & Pipeline Growth: Design and execute a multi-channel growth strategy; build and convert a robust £20m+ commercial pipeline across B2B energy services, utilities, housing providers, commercial retrofits, and corporate partnerships.
- Proactive Market Creation: Shift the business from a traditional tender respondent to an agile market creator; developing, launching, and scaling new commercial propositions, advisory services, and low-carbon delivery models from 0 to 1.
- Tier 1 Strategic Partnerships: Establish high-level, trusted relationships with fund authorities, energy network operators, housing groups, and corporate partners to secure direct, multi-year delivery programmes.
- Engine & Legacy Building: Unify and lead the business development, bid management, commercial marketing, and data insight functions; building a repeatable, scalable commercial engine that outlasts any individual leader.
- Executive Partnership: Partner with the CEO and Board to shape overall corporate strategy, act as a commercial mentor across the executive peer group, and maintain momentum toward the 3-year strategic growth targets.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We Are Looking For:
- Proven Commercial Gravitas: Demonstrable track record as a CGO, CRO, or Commercial Director, with a history of building multi-million-pound B2B revenue streams from concept through to contract award.
- A Proactive Market Creator Mindset: Experience developing and bringing new commercial products or services to market (0 to 1) within mid-market, agile, or corporate scale-up settings.
- Sector Versatility: Commercial experience gained within Tier 1 energy or facilities contracting, energy utility customer services, social housing delivery, or commercial B2B outsourcing.
- Scalable Engine & Team Leadership: A leader who builds repeatable systems, pipeline governance, and high-performing teams, taking pride in developing talent rather than relying solely on individual, transactional deal-making.
- Purpose-Driven Culture Fit: High emotional intelligence, gravitas, and humility. Capable of acting as a catalyst for commercial pace while collaborating empathetically with operational and finance executive peers.
