  • Working with the leadership team to grow our presence in the UK and Europe

  • Building strong and lasting relationships with colleagues, clients and our wider community

  • Representing Seismic at industry events

About you

You believe that humanity and businesses need to make a seismic shift in the right direction and want to apply your consulting and analytical capabilities to help make that happen. At the same time you want to work in a friendly, collaborative and empathetic team who are delivering impactful projects for high-profile clients.

To be successful in this role you would need the following attributes:

  • You have have supported or led a commercial Carbon service offering within a professional services environment, focussed on external clients

  • You have successful track record of contributing to the growth and development of a Consulting delivery team in a sustainability services business

  • You are passionate about sustainability and have proven, relevant experience at a senior level, including helping organisations set strategies across the range of Carbon topics

  • You have a proven track record of securing new business from existing and new clients in a strategic way that adds genuine value and impact

  • You have direct line management experience and have ideally led and developed a junior and / or mid level consulting team

  • You are energised by the pace of a mission driven scale-up culture

  • You are resilient and comfortable giving and receiving feedback

  • You love coaching and developing others

  • You are details oriented but not at the expense of making pragmatic decisions

  • You have the interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence to facilitate complex or challenging client workshops involving a divers group of participants

  • You’re a strategic thinker who doesn’t get too bogged down in the minutiae

  • You have strong self-awareness and can easily adapt to different clients, from energetic SMEs to complex large corporates

  • You are happy thinking on your feet and can adapt existing plans to changing circumstances

  • You enjoy building relationships across the company and with clients

  • You’re commercially aware and understand the importance of strong commercial relationships

  • Your written and in-person communication style is clear and concise.

Importantly, you love client work and also working with teammates to iterate products and services. You are a team player - you like a laugh, but are not afraid to graft. You are a student of sustainability, have plenty to offer, and know you have even more to learn.

You are action oriented, have a keen eye for detail and enjoy juggling multiple projects and priorities and enjoy just the right amount of time pressure to help keep productive and focused. You are a ‘people person’ with a knack for building relationships with a diverse group of people.

You are more excited by the opportunities of working for a young, fast growing, ever evolving, purpose-driven business than for a large corporation.

Location

Ideally you will be within commuting distance of our London office.

Working hours

We believe in flexible working hours to better suit our personal lives while being considerate of each other and our clients. We generally work office hours but trust each other to make fair decisions.

  • Personal Development Plan with budgetary support.

  • 25 days annual leave plus an extra day off for your birthday.
