An interest in climate change and an understanding of environmental sustainability in the workplace will be a key part to this role as well as the confidence to bring in new ideas.

  • You will support the Fund’s established Climate action network, ensuring that they all feel connected to and can contribute to energy and resource savings projects/initiatives/themes.
  • You will ensure projects are well planned and progressed and will collate and share environmental measures to demonstrate achievements.
  • You will help with environmental data capture and carbon accounting and reporting on any trends both internally and externally.
  • You will also provide relevant updates to SMT and work closely with the SMT lead on environmental sustainability, highlighting any issues requiring resolution.
  • The role will mainly be based in one office, but you’ll be required to engage across the Fund and develop communications that will reach all staff.
  • You may be drawn into any project/team to advise on environmental sustainability.
  • You will engage as the sustainable business partner with internal and external stakeholders and will support the communication of strong external messages declaring our dedication to working sustainably.

The ideal candidate for this role should have:

  • Passion, commitment, and enthusiasm to help deliver our net zero targets.
  • Good communication skills as well as strong analytical and report writing skills.
  • Previous experience of environmental sustainability within the workplace would be beneficial.
