London, Greater London, United Kingdom Bioregional Full time

As the head of department, you will lead our growing team of highly skilled and technically capable sustainability professionals in a varied role that combines project delivery, business development, strategy, and organisational strategy and governance as part of the Bioregional's Leadership Team.

The Director of Sustainable Business will ensure that we offer high quality and relevant services to our clients and partners which includes:

  • Creating and implementing sustainability strategies and action plans,
  • Sustainability monitoring and reporting including GHG accounting,
  • Research to inform the development of sustainable product and materials guidelines, policies, and action plans.

The Director of Sustainable Business develops long-term partnerships with our clients and partners based on our current service offer while also looking at complementary services we can offer either in-house or through working in partnership with others. The Director of Sustainable Business will also work closely with the Chief Executive to seek new opportunities to expand Bioregional's work to increase our scope and scale of impact.

Scope

You will act as project director for between five and seven strategic projects at any one time, taking responsibility for the delivery of high-quality outputs in the areas of:

· Carbon footprinting and science-based net-zero strategy,

· Corporate sustainability strategy, governance, reporting and implementation,

· Sustainable products: life cycle thinking, responsible sourcing, circular economy.

This role will oversee the delivery of colleagues' work across a varied portfolio of projects, working alongside senior team members who will also undertake oversight of several strategic projects, including account management and quality assurance. Together, you will inspire our ambitious junior consultants, helping them to deliver high-quality outputs and to develop their skills.

You will also contribute to Bioregional's growth and impact by helping to win new projects and develop our service offering in line with the strategic objectives of the team and Bioregional's charitable objectives.

The role will involve occasional UK-based travel.

Seniority

You will be part of the Leadership Team and will oversee all aspects of the running of the Sustainable Business Team.

You will oversee the development of the team's annual and longer-term strategies, making sure that these align with the objectives of the organisational strategy that you will have been part of developing.

Requirements

As the senior point of contact for high-profile clients you will be professional, friendly, and able to think on your feet. You will possess good presentation and communication skills and have a proven track record of building and managing stakeholder relationships.

You will have the ability to oversee complex research and technical deliverables, making sure they are delivered in an understandable way to clients.

As a team leader, you will be able to generate ideas, inspire and develop colleagues, and oversee the production of high-quality work.

You will have a strong belief in the urgent need for transformative solutions for the climate and ecological emergency and be committed to creating and implementing these solutions through your professional work.

1. Work-life balance
Work is only one part of your life and making time for other things is important – be that your families, friends, or yourself. We are committed to giving you the flexibility to work at different locations and times, whether that be in the comfort of your own home or collaborating with colleagues in the office.

2. Diversity and inclusion

We are committed to supporting our team through a range of benefits, from our employee assistance programme to our cycle-to-work scheme.

4. Professional development
We have a learning culture and help our people to enjoy rewarding careers where they will grow and develop their skills. We build and share our knowledge through regular staff seminars and offer 10 days of training and development time each year, a training budget for each employee, plus additional support for formal training and study. Bioregional's training pathway means that colleagues always understand and have access to the training they need to progress their career – be they an Analyst or a Head of Department.

5. An ethical employer
We live our values in everything we do. As well as working from sustainable office space alongside like-minded businesses, your benefits include a 6% employer's ethical pension contribution and 25 days of annual leave, rising by one day for each year you work with us, for up to five years.
