New Year, New Job? Have we got a role for you!

If you're looking for the perfect blend of purpose and performance , 2026 might just be your year.

At Sustainability Trust, we’re a not-for-profit social enterprise on a mission to make homes warmer, healthier and more energy-efficient for people across the Wellington region. We’re looking for someone who thrives at the intersection of commercial leadership and meaningful impact to join us as our Head of Commercial & Operations – Sustainable Homes

This is your chance to contribute to a values-driven organisation while bringing strong commercial thinking to a business unit that directly improves people’s lives. You’ll shape and expand our Sustainable Homes offering, lead a high‑performing team, strengthen the customer experience, and ensure our services run smoothly from assessment to installation.

If you love variety, leadership, and making a difference—and you’re commercially savvy with a heart for community—this is the role for you.

What you’ll be doing

  • You’ll head up our Sustainable Homes division with overall responsibility for its success
  • Shaping, evolving, and expanding our Sustainable Homes services—turning ideas into real‑world impact
  • Leading and developing our Assessor Team and Trade & Operations Manager
  • Owning the full sales pipeline from assessment to installation, keeping it smooth, customer‑focused, and commercially strong
  • Maintaining strong relationships with EECA, councils, key partners and developing new business relationships
  • Keeping revenue and installation targets on track through great planning and clear reporting
  • Contributing as a key member of our Senior Leadership Team

What you’ll bring

  • A background in business development, sales, commercial leadership, and operational management
  • Strong people leadership skills and experience building capability in teams
  • A track record of delivering growth, improving services, and managing revenue
  • Excellent communication and relationship‑building skills
  • Cultural competency and openness to working with people from cultures other than your own including knowledge of—or a willingness to learn about—Te Ao Māori
  • A passion for sustainability—or a strong desire to learn
  • Motivation, ambition, resilience, and the ability to keep things moving in a busy environment
  • Why join Sustainability Trust?

    We’re a Living Wage employer, an equal opportunity workplace, and a family‑friendly organisation. That means we do our best to offer flexibility and support so people can balance work with their personal and whānau responsibilities. You’ll be joining a team of passionate, grounded, community‑focused people who care deeply about the impact we create. At Sustainability Trust, your leadership will truly matter, and your work has the power to transform homes and change lives.

    Ready to step into a role with purpose and commercial impact?
