Role description

As a key member of Consulting, you will work on collaborative teams to help deliver a range of projects for global clients, including sustainability reporting and integrated annual reporting, ESG portfolio and supply chain risk assessment, and ESG strategy development. You will also have opportunities to contribute to projects focused on human rights, climate change and geopolitical issues. We anticipate that you will spend approximately half of your time on sustainability reporting projects and other ESG-related projects.

As a Managing Consultant you will take responsibility for the planning, implementation and delivery of workstreams on large projects as well as management of smaller engagements. You will work closely with client teams, building strong relationships characterized by high levels of trust.

·       engaging with client reporting teams

·       managing budgets, schedules and resources

·       Collating, calculating and analyzing client ESG data

·       Conducting interviews with internal and external stakeholders 

New business development will also be a component of the role, including the identification and generation of new opportunities, the development of new opportunities in partnership with our sales & marketing team, and the drafting of engaging thought leadership pieces.

The role will also very likely involve a degree of domestic and international travel for short periods of time (i.e. days rather than weeks).

Key knowledge and experience

·       At least five years of relevant professional experience, ideally encompassing consulting and/or client-side ESG experience

·       Excellent communications skills across oral, written and slide deck formats

·       Strong analytical skills, including the ability to handle large datasets
