Director level role in this exciting climate-tech scale-up helping businesses navigate the transition to a low-carbon economy , delivering practical solutions and measurable ESG impact . From SMEs to large enterprises, they pair science-led expertise with cutting-edge technology to help their clients make real progress on net-zero goals and ESG compliance.

For their next stage of growth, they’re looking for a Director to take a leadership role in their growing team. This is a fantastic opportunity to guide a talented group of consultants and carbon accountants while helping businesses develop and implement strategies that create lasting value.

In this role, you’ll act as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, including C-suite executives and investors. You’ll manage high-impact client projects, develop further carbon and ESG services, and contribute to the company’s ongoing growth.
