Senior sustainability consultant

About the role

You will run client engagements end to end: scoping, stakeholder interviews, double materiality analysis, and the abatement modeling that turns a material topic into a funded commitment. Most of your clients will be at the point where a voluntary program has to become an assured disclosure, and they will need someone who can tell them plainly when a target is not achievable on the current capital plan.

You will carry two or three engagements at a time, with an analyst on each, and you will be the name the client calls between meetings.

Responsibilities

• Scope and lead double materiality assessments for listed and pre-IPO clients
• Build marginal abatement cost curves from the client’s own capital plan
• Set science-aligned targets and test them against financeable interventions
• Present findings to executive committees and, where asked, to boards
• Mentor analysts and review their models before anything reaches a client

What we are looking for

• Five or more years in sustainability consulting or an in-house sustainability function
• Fluency in at least one major reporting framework, and working knowledge of two more
• The modeling skills to build an abatement curve without outsourcing it
• The judgment to say plainly when a commitment is not achievable

Benefits

• Salary reviewed annually against an external benchmark, published internally
• Hybrid working with two fixed office days, and no expectation of travel beyond one week a month
• A learning budget of $3,500 a year, including professional membership
• Health, dental and vision cover from day one, with no waiting period
• Twenty-five days of leave plus public holidays, rising by one day for each year served

Hiring process

• Submit your application, with a short note on an engagement you are proud of
• A thirty-minute conversation with our talent lead
• A technical session built around a real abatement problem, with preparation time
• A final conversation with the practice lead
• Offer, references and a start date that respects your notice period
