Climate Officer

Rexel • France • Added on Nov 6, 2026
Apply →

As Climate Officer, you will help turn Rexel’s climate strategy into practical programmes across its country operations. The role connects local decarbonization plans with shared data tools, including Carbon Tracker, and helps make lower-impact product offers useful in customer conversations.

Rexel distributes electrical products and services to residential, commercial and industrial markets. Its climate work therefore spans both its own operations and the choices customers make when sourcing products for energy management, construction and maintenance. Better carbon information can support local teams in setting priorities and help customers compare the environmental impact of offers. This role sits where climate data, commercial decisions and international coordination meet.

This suits someone who can interpret complex environmental data, build trust across different country teams and translate climate goals into clear actions for both operational colleagues and sales teams.

Job FAQs

What are the main missions and responsibilities of this role?

The role helps shape country-level climate objectives with the Group Sustainable Solutions Manager, then supports local roadmap owners as they build and track plans. It also monitors progress and engagement across markets. A second focus is adoption and development of tools such as Carbon Tracker, working with Data, Data Science and Product teams. The officer analyses decarbonization performance and product offers, then turns findings into practical sales materials and guidance for customer-facing teams.

Key learning opportunities for this job

The position could build experience in multi-country climate programme management, including how global goals are adapted to different local operating contexts. Working with Data, Data Science and Product colleagues may also deepen practical understanding of carbon data platforms and environmental product information. The commercial dimension offers exposure to how climate analysis informs product choices and customer discussions in B2B distribution. The posting does not specify formal training or certifications, but the role may provide opportunities to develop expertise in carbon accounting and life-cycle assessment through applied work.

How does the ideal candidate look like (experience, skills)?

The posting seeks a master’s-level graduate and 7-10 years of experience, ideally in cross-functional programme management and change in an international or multi-entity organization. A strong candidate would understand corporate decarbonization and have experience translating climate priorities into plans that teams can carry out. Data analysis and visualization skills matter, alongside confidence working with large datasets. Familiarity with carbon accounting or life-cycle assessment is an advantage. The role also calls for fluent English, adaptability, patience and the ability to build relationships across functions and country teams.

Advice to stand out and make a successful application

Show how you have moved a climate or sustainability programme from targets to implementation across several teams, locations or business units. Include concrete evidence of how you tracked progress, addressed uneven engagement and adapted a common approach to local conditions. Use a specific example of turning environmental data into a decision or action. If relevant, explain your work with carbon accounting, product impact analysis, digital tools or sales teams. Prepare to discuss how you would make climate information useful to commercial colleagues and their customers, without overstating what the data can show.

What aspects of the company's sustainability is this role likely to focus on?

The role is centered on climate action: supporting decarbonization roadmaps across Rexel’s countries and using environmental data to assess progress. Carbon Tracker and related tools are intended to help local organizations act on climate priorities. There is also a product and customer-facing dimension. Analysis of product offers and tools such as Eco-score and carbon quotes could help Rexel’s teams bring environmental information into customer decisions. The posting does not specify particular emissions targets or disclose the boundaries of the company’s climate commitments.

What are the main challenges someone in this role might face?

Country teams may have different priorities, data quality and capacity, so a shared climate roadmap could require local adaptation and sustained relationship-building. Progress may also be uneven, especially where responsibilities are spread across multiple business units. A further challenge is making carbon and product-impact information accurate and usable for both internal decisions and sales conversations. The officer will need to work across data, product and commercial teams, while avoiding claims that go beyond the available evidence.

How could a typical day look like for someone in this position?

A day could combine reviewing country decarbonization data with conversations with local roadmap owners about progress, barriers and next steps. The officer might then work with Data, Data Science or Product colleagues on Carbon Tracker adoption or feedback from users. Other time may go to analysing product offers, preparing climate information for internal decisions, or helping sales teams use sustainability tools in customer discussions. The balance would likely shift with reporting cycles, local programme needs and the development of group-wide solutions.

What are the opportunities for professional growth and development in this role?

The position could deepen expertise in corporate decarbonization, environmental data and the application of climate information to B2B product choices. Working across countries and functions may also build experience in international programme leadership and organizational change. As Rexel’s climate strategy and tools develop, the role may offer scope to take on broader coordination or strategic responsibilities. The posting does not define a specific promotion path, so progression would depend on organizational needs and the officer’s areas of contribution.

The main stakeholders you might be interacting with

The role works closely with the Group Sustainable Solutions Manager and country-level owners of climate roadmaps. These relationships support goal-setting, local implementation and progress review. It also connects with Data, Data Science and Product teams on climate tools, alongside commercial teams who use sustainability information with customers. External customers may be affected by the resulting product insights and offers, although direct customer engagement is not explicitly listed as a core responsibility.
