United Kingdom Acclaro Advisory Full time €50,000

Acclaro Advisory is a specialist sustainability consultancy that provides organisations with a range of environmental and social sustainable business solutions. We have a network of clients ranging from small and medium sized companies to multinational corporations, to government bodies and NGOs. We specialise in two key areas of sustainability: Net Zero and Responsible Business, and also run the Sustainable Facilities Management Index.

Acclaro is an agile small business in a fast-moving environment and set to expand rapidly. We work in partnership with our clients and advise them on their strategic direction to go beyond a compliance-led approach and help build a sustainable future, giving them competitive advantage and leadership status.

We are based in our Wokingham office with hub locations in London and Reading, but (following initial induction period in Wokingham) offer the freedom to combine remote independent working with office-based collaboration and teamwork. Hard work is rewarded to motivated individuals with fast career progression, client contact and industry exposure. Employees can learn from our specialist team of consultants with a wealth of experience in the industry. Acclaro prides itself on creating long lasting relationships with clients and delivering excellence in our work.

We expect the candidate to live up to the company values and adopt the culture of the workplace. To show us that you have understood this requirement, please list Acclaro’s company values (found on our website) in your email containing your cover letter and CV.

The Individual we are looking for

A Principal Sustainability Consultant is an individual who holds broad but extensive knowledge in sustainability, with a proven track record of working successfully within the industry either as a consultant or delivering in-house sustainability services, while leading and managing a team. They will have experience in building client relationships and project managing the delivery of sustainability programmes. They will feel confident in discussing how sustainability is managed and embedded across the business, while requesting evidence, being inquisitive and identifying gaps in how an organisation manages its approach. This is not a compliance-based role, but one that looks to create competitive advantage or sector leadership through improving social and environmental impacts.

This role includes responsibility for direct line management and the development of a team.

Responsibilities vary according to client needs, but can include:
  • Interpreting corporate reporting data and using the information to identify risks and opportunities
  • Developing sales leads and preparing bids and proposals, including costing
  • Developing ESG and Net Zero Strategies aligned with clients’ commercial goals and culture
  • Leading the delivery of clients’ sustainability programmes through project teams
  • Leading and guiding team members towards achieving organisational goals. This includes providing clear direction, setting expectations and fostering a positive and productive work environment.
  • Contributing to the development of new service offers and the assets used to deliver them
  • Speaking at events and preparing thought leadership pieces
Required Skills

A Principal Sustainability Consultant should be able to demonstrate:

  • Several years’ experience of successfully leading sustainability projects, ideally as a consultant or alternatively leading a team as an in-house corporate sustainability professional
  • Strong experience of the principles of net zero carbon, science-based targets and materiality
  • Good understanding of ESG materiality and the ability to identify material issues for a broad range of businesses
  • Strong understanding of the domestic ESG regulatory framework, its’ direction and how businesses should be adapting
  • Extensive experience of conducting audits, identifying gaps in sustainability performance and preparing reports
  • Ability to lead multiple projects and deliver them on time and within budget
  • The ability to confidently build and manage client relationships and lead multi-disciplinary teams
  • Experience of leading and managing a team to achieve goals that contribute to the growth of the company
  • Good delegation skills and the ability to motivate others
  • A sound understanding of the commercial context of sustainability
  • A good understanding of the principles of net zero carbon and science-based targets
  • A working knowledge of common reporting frameworks
  • Excellent English oral and written skills; strong presentation skills
Package
  • Salary: + £50,000 per annum according to qualifications and experience
  • 33 days annual leave including public or bank holiday plus Christmas shutdown (typically 3 days)
  • Pension, Income Protection and Employee Assistance Programme
  • Permanent contract
How to apply

Please send your CV with a short covering letter that shows your passion and suitability for the job. Email to hr@acclaro-advisory.com .
