Wiser Marketing & Launch Leader

Wiser Marketing & Launch Leader - Europe with focus on UK With the dramatic increase in energy prices, the acceleration of energy efficiency and the need for decarbonization, we believe we need to articulate our messaging on energy savings achievable from using heating controls to the mass market and accelerate our business to make smart heating controls accessible for all. Connected thermostats have been saving on average 10% to 15% on Residential Homes energy consumption versus non-connected ones. As heating bills are going to rise, we need to provide the right information, guides, and tools to make it easy for users to select and buy such offers from SE. In addition, with connected thermostats, users could be incentivized to set a lower temperature if suitable only at the times when it's needed, and potentially save up to 50% on their energy bills. Technology won't solve every problem we have with the energy crisis but connecting heating systems can be a big help to manage the impact & should be done by everyone, right now. If you want to make a change, if you are eager to make things happen, you are at the right place. Residential Temperature Controls (RTC) is an €63M standalone business within Global Offer Innovation (GOI), part of the Home & Distribution Division within Schneider Electric. RTC has its own dedicated factory, Engineering, Sales, Product Marketing & Marcom teams focused on delivering products that control the heating in homes with products such as room thermostats, timeclocks, radiator valves and associated ancillaries. RTC goes to market under the Drayton by Schneider Electric brand in UK. Sales in UK are predominantly through Wet Wholesalers & Retail Distributors targeted at Trade customers (Plumbers) and recently Consumers through Amazon along with the launch of an E3 shop in October 2021. The other piece of the business is thermostat sales into Schneider Electric front offices. This is mostly through Feller (CH), Elko (NO) and Merten (DE).
