This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.

Job Description

Heathrow's Net Zero Plan puts Heathrow on a pathway to decarbonize our airport and the wider aviation sector too. Whilst we prioritise taking the carbon out of flying, it is important to begin adapting to the effects of climate change that are locked into the climate system to maintain operational resilience and ensure we can continue to provide a good service to passengers and maintain our connectivity to global destinations as the UK's only hub airport. Like other operators of critical national infrastructure, Heathrow has been on a journey to understand the effects of a changing climate and how those effects will impact our airport and our business strategy. We are building on that progress by developing a long-term strategic approach to adaptation, guided by the latest climate modelling projections and our climate risk assessment. The Climate Adaptation Strategy Manager role is a key post for the business that will work cross-functionally to continue to shape and mature our strategy and approach to climate adaptation and accelerate the transition to action.

Responsibilities

  • Acting as a technical SME with the latest insights on climate adaptation and future trends, including policy direction, transition pathways, climate modelling and research and innovation.
  • Identifying key investments and help to develop business cases to deliver the climate adaptation strategy.
  • Working closely with key business functions - particularly Master planning, Procurement, Engineering, Infrastructure, Operations, Commercial and Finance - to plan, shape, drive and support an overall plan of activity necessary to deliver the adaptation strategy.
  • Owning and maintaining the overall Heathrow climate adaptation risk assessment and lead the Adaptation Reporting Power (ARP) process and engagement for Heathrow including compiling Heathrow's submissions to DEFRA.
  • Leading the approach to embedding and strengthening climate 'physical risk' across corporate risk assessment processes, working with the risk management team and individual functions and managing inputs into risk reporting.
  • Providing climate adaptation input information for corporate reporting as necessary and support governance meetings as required.
  • Representing Heathrow on Climate Adaptation with key external stakeholders including Government, industry and local authorities, to understand their priorities and advocate solutions.

Qualifications

  • Strong background in climate risk and adaptation with a broad understanding of the technical aspects of climate risk, climate scenarios and climate modelling, and the broader policy, market, technology and policy landscape.
  • Ability to maintain a strategic focus and translate long-term strategic outcomes into effective delivery plans and activity with defined milestones and outcomes.
  • Demonstrable experience of effective stakeholder management, leading virtual teams, building coalitions and achieving results through others.
  • Proven commercial understanding and experience of developing and leading business cases and building necessary support to secure investment.
  • Experience of leading complex, cross-functional projects and delivering business outcomes to time and budget.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication/presentation skills and the ability to communicate complex topics in a clear and simple way.
  • Experience of dealing with external stakeholders and representing organisations at a senior level.
  • Experience of climate risk and adaptation within major infrastructure client organisations or complex sites.
  • An interest in/passion for Heathrow's leadership role as a sustainable business and driving the delivery of our net zero plan and adapting the airport to a changing climate.

Equal Opportunities

As an equal opportunities employer, we encourage applications from all. We believe that diverse talent makes us stronger - not least because we welcome passengers from all corners of the globe, every single day. Heathrow is an accessible place to work. With four diversity networks, we champion inclusivity and celebrate individuality.
