About this role
Step into a team of passionate experts united by a common goal. As the Director for our Sloped Roof Windows category, the core of our business, you will lead the strategic direction, growth, and innovation of our largest product portfolio. This is a highly visible role with significant strategic focus across the organisation, offering a unique opportunity to shape the future of one of the most important growth areas for VELUX.
If you have a proven track record in category or product management, a strong commercial mindset, and a passion for bringing products successfully to market, this could be your next big opportunity.
The strategic direction
Our organisation is moving from a traditional product-focused approach towards a broader and more commercially driven category management model. This transformation involves shifting from new product and launch-driven activities to a stronger end-to-end responsibility for market growth, including active lifecycle management.
The focus is expanding from individual products to a holistic commercial perspective, where pricing, channel strategy, marketing, portfolio decisions, product development priorities, and partnerships are viewed together to drive growth across categories.
Overall, the change strengthens our commercial and business development capabilities and supports the development of cohesive strategic portfolio and growth plans across categories. As Director of Sloped Roof Windows, you will play a pivotal role in shaping and executing this agenda for one of our most strategically important categories.
As part of this transformation, we are embracing intent-based leadership to foster an inclusive and high-performing culture. This leadership mindset supports purposeful and agile decision-making, encourages collaboration across functions, and strengthens our ability to navigate change with clarity and intention.

As Director, you will lead a highly skilled and collaborative team of professionals dedicated to category management and product marketing. Together, we shape the future of our Sloped Roof Windows category, ensuring it remains competitive, relevant, and positioned for growth in a global market.
You will work closely across the wider Category Management team, creating a strong connection between customer needs, portfolio priorities, and product development decisions. Through close collaboration with Managing Directors across markets, as well as colleagues in Sales, Marketing, and R&D, you will identify and unlock growth opportunities and translate them into measurable business results.
As Director of this category, you will set the strategic direction, drive prioritisation with a strong focus on sales growth and profitability, and ensure successful commercialisation of products across the category. You will have a unique opportunity to influence the future of our core business through portfolio optimisation, pricing excellence, driving strategic bets, and bringing products successfully to market.
More specifically, your tasks will be to:
- Define and execute the category strategy for Sloped Roof Windows, ensuring sustainable growth and profitability.
