We are looking for a motivated and experienced Senior Sustainability Partner to join the Sustainability team at ASOS. This is a delivery-focused, hands-on role responsible for implementing ASOS’s sustainable materials priorities through structured programmes, close and ongoing supplier engagement, strong partnership with Buying and Sourcing teams, and robust data and certification processes.
The role will turn agreed sustainable materials targets and regulatory requirements into clear delivery plans, coordinated supplier actions, effective business processes and measurable outcomes, ensuring solutions are commercially aligned.
The role is a 12-month fixed-term contract reporting into the Head of Sustainability.
What you’ll be doing
Sustainable Materials Transformation
Lead delivery of annual sustainable materials targets, regularly tracking progress and analysing gaps across fibre, category, supplier and buying area, defining targeted actions at the most relevant level and driving their implementation with suppliers, Sourcing and Buying teams.
Develop and implement supplier transition plans with priority garment and fabric suppliers, assessing readiness and capacity, agreeing supplier-level actions, providing ongoing support, while ensuring solutions are commercially aligned on cost, quality and speed-to-market.
Maintain regular, hands-on engagement with key suppliers, driving progress on agreed sustainable materials actions and ensuring delivery against transition milestones and sourcing requirements.
Map and assess upstream sustainable fibre and material sources across Tier 3 and Tier 4, building insight into availability, capability and commercial terms to identify sourcing opportunities for Buying, Sourcing and Tier 1–2 suppliers.
Partner with Buying and Sourcing teams to turn sustainable materials goals into practical sourcing solutions, addressing challenges and embedding them into day-to-day product development.
Traceability & Certification
Lead the tracking, verification and validation of sustainable materials data and certifications at product and fabric level, using certification and chain-of-custody evidence to substantiate sustainable material data across the supply chain.
Drive the closure of identified gaps through targeted supplier engagement, providing clear guidance on requirements and following up on agreed actions, while coordinating with Sourcing and Fabric teams where wider support is needed.
Define business needs for certification and traceability data and work with relevant teams to shape the processes and system solutions needed across internal and external platforms, ensuring robust long-term integration.
Compliance, Data & Reporting
Translate legislative requirements, including ESPR, DPP, ECGT and the CMA Green Claims Code, into readiness plans and embed them into sustainable materials strategy, supplier requirements, processes and tools, in line with the direction and priorities set by the Corporate Affairs and Strategy team.
Work with technical and data teams to improve systems, dashboards and processes to support sustainable materials reporting and regulatory requirements.
Coordinate company and industry reporting on sustainable materials, ensuring data is robust and audit-ready, and manage relationships with key organisations such as Textile Exchange, Better Cotton and Canopy.
Team Management & Programme Delivery
Coordinate delivery across multiple workstreams, track progress, dependencies and risks, and provide clear updates and recommended actions to stakeholders.
Manage the Sustainable Product Team’s day-to-day delivery, allocating work, setting clear priorities and removing operational blockers.
Support team performance and development through clear objectives, regular feedback and practical coaching.

Commercial @ ASOS
Working at ASOS has made me realise how much I feel like I belong here. It’s exciting and refreshing. The authenticity and inclusivity ASOS has makes it even better to work here. Everyday is a different day; I am learning new things, meeting new people and be involved in so many amazing buying projects.
I love ASOS for two main reasons – firstly because as a company it is never afraid to try something new or challenge the way we work; we really have the autonomy to push ourselves in new directions.
ASOS is incredibly inclusive which means so much to me as a queer Black woman. There are so many opportunities here beyond your role, so you can really boost and build your dream career here. And the people! I’m inspired everyday by my colleagues, the creativity here is unparalleled!

We are Customer First
We couldn’t be ASOS without our customers.
Across every behaviour, value, and all that we do, we see everything through our customers’ eyes. That means never taking anything for granted and always zeroing in on every single detail. So we can always bring our best as a team, and our customers can have an amazing experience, every time.
We are Authentic
We work together to be honest, transparent, and our full authentic selves.
This is our ASOS. Our culture, built on collaboration and togetherness, and supported by what’s real and honest. We know that we win bigger when we win as a diverse team. That means celebrating our differences and using them to help us stand out from the crowd, without losing our authenticity and individuality.
We are Brave
We challenge each other to aim high and reach our potential.
Doing nothing gets us nowhere. We may be proud of everything we’ve done so far, but there’s still so much more to explore. We believe we can always be wiser, faster, stronger, bigger, braver, kinder…so asking ‘why’ isn’t just a question, it’s a necessity. We use our voice to drive us forward, speaking up on the things our people and customers care about and using our curiosity to create possibility.
We are Creative
We know innovation leads to inspiration – it’s what makes us stronger
Change is in our DNA. By acting fast and staying one step ahead of the curve, we can be a leader, not a follower. But for our products and platform to be innovative, they have to be fuelled by creative passion and a deep understanding of our customers and our people.
We always Deliver
We couldn’t be excellent without evidence – so whatever we’re doing, we have proof of why we’re doing it.
It takes facts and data to tell our stories and help us make our decisions in the most effective way possible. This means we can do what we say and own what we do, no matter how long it takes us to do it. We aren’t about nonsense ifs, buts and maybes, we’re about creating an ASOS that’s built for future success on delivered success.
Our Benefits
Employee Discount
The most asked-about benefit! As an ASOSer, you’ll receive an exclusive employee discount. You can also nominate a family member or friend to share your discount with.
Pension
Retirement might not be on your mind right now, but it’s important to prep for it. We offer matched contributions up to 5% to help you save.
Private Medical Care scheme
If you join our Private Medical Care scheme, you’ll get fast and effective access to medical cover.
Bonus
What we achieve is always a team effort. That’s why we offer a discretionary bonus scheme which rewards you based on our group financial and strategic performance.
Celebratory Day!
Get an extra day off in addition to the 25 days of annual leave you get! Spend it celebrating the big days in life, whether it’s birthdays, cultural holidays, weddings and anything else.
Shuttlebus Service (if you're based in our Leavesden office)
It’s more of a work perk, but we offer a free shuttlebus between Watford station and our office in Leavesden.
Sample Sales
We’ve always got fun things happening in our offices, but the one ASOSers get most excited about is our sample sales. Plus, all proceeds from the sample sale get donated to the ASOS Foundation, which helps our charity partners abroad.
Career Development
You’ll have the opportunity for personalised learning and in-the-moment experiences to create a dynamic and agile learning environment that empowers you to thrive and excel in your role.
Summer Hours
We finish at 3pm on Fridays in June, July and August!! This perk doesn’t mean a dip in your salary – it just gives you extra freedom to enjoy those summer weekends however you want.
Location
Our HQ in London
Our HQ in Camden was once a cigarette factory – now, the iconic Art Deco building has been completely renovated with spacious office areas, ASOS Studios (where we shoot all our products), beauty rooms and a free gym. There’s also a subsidised canteen and café.
