Identify drivers for brands to adopt ACE Village to meet Climate+ 2030 and net-zero goals.

• Pilot project leadership: Oversee the commercial aspects of the £1 million, 2-year Innovate UK Energy Catalyst pilot, signing up and managing the delivery of fashion and textile brands participating in the ACE Village programme to ensure alignment with their sustainability goals and seamless integration into supply chains.

• New demand development: Build and nurture commercial relationships with fashion & textile brands to develop a portfolio of at least 5 brands in 2025.

Funding and Investment

• Secure funding: Identify and attract funding from foundations, institutions, corporates, impact investors, and renewable/carbon markets to scale ACE Village. Develop collaborative financing models that bring together diverse players to accelerate clean energy and regenerative agriculture in cotton-growing communities.

• Market innovation: Explore emerging carbon and biodiversity credit markets to enhance the financial viability of ACE Village, ensuring brands see clear ROI alongside impact, while aligning with relevant certification standards.

General Commercial Leadership

• Market research: Continuously monitor market trends, brand sustainability priorities, regulatory changes, and competitive landscapes to refine the ACE Village strategy.

• Customer acquisition: Secure commitments from fashion brands to adopt ACE Village, building long-term commercial partnerships.

• Cross-functional collaboration: Work with our R&D, sustainability, and product teams, as well as external stakeholders, to deliver commercial objectives.

Skills and Competencies

• Financial acumen: Expertise in developing financial models, securing funding, and navigating investment landscapes (e.g., impact investing, carbon/renewable markets).

• Sustainability knowledge: Strong understanding of carbon mitigation and adaptation frameworks, biodiversity frameworks, social impact metrics, and relevant regulations, standards, and certifications (e.g., EU legislation, sustainable cotton standards, ISO standards, carbon accounting protocols), with familiarity in fashion industry supply chains.

• Analytical thinking: Ability to analyse complex market data, regulatory requirements, and certification standards to build evidence-based strategies.

• Interpersonal skills: Exceptional relationship-building and stakeholder management, with the ability to engage diverse groups (e.g., brands, farmers, investors) and manage brand participation.
