London, Greater London, United Kingdom SportPursuit Full time
At SportPursuit we believe that we have an important role to play in terms of our sustainability.

As we continue to grow as the Sportscape Group our ESG becomes more involved in everything we do and we want to ensure that we act in a responsible and sustainable way.

Our Head of ESG (Sportscape Group) role, a new position at Sportscape, will be instrumental in aiding us to achieve our ESG strategy and goals.


A bit more about this role


Reporting to our Group CEO this, predominantly self serving, role will contribute to our ESG strategy definition, implementation and monitoring against performance KPIs.

Relying on in-depth ESG culture and best practice knowledge you will manage internal and external communication in particular in consistency with the latest CSRD requirements.

  • Implementing ESG group strategy in coordination with all internal and external stakeholders
  • Monitoring ESG strategy implementation progress and ESG corporate performance

Whilst this is a remote first role, it is likely that there will be a regular requirement to travel between the London office where SportPursuit are based and Vendargues (France) where Private Sport Shop operate.


A bit about you


To thrive in the Sportscape team you will have a problem-solving mindset, able to respond to challenges with creative solutions.

You will be a team player and will be willing to get stuck in, one of our key values.
