We are pleased to be partnered with SB+CO in their search for a Senior Sustainability Communications Consultant.

OverviewAs the Senior Sustainability Communications Consultant, you will work in partnership with other specialists in the team across strategy and engagement projects. A strategic communications perspective helps translate technical issues and insights into engaging strategic models and effective communication with stakeholders. Work is often 'upstream' of communications outputs and can involve research and benchmarking, workshop exploration and insight development to help shape strategic responses to client challenges.

During a strategy development process, your role will be to help successfully bridge between business, brand and sustainability strategy to deliver well-articulated ambitions and propositions. This also creates a faster route through to engagement and communications, which often includes audience mapping and the development of key messaging and assets or tools for stakeholder engagement - meaning they can manage the whole project lifecycle.

As a Senior Consultant, you will also lead large research and reporting projects - working from best practice, trends and insights through to content mapping, content development and creative execution (including in digital channels). Therefore, a key skill is analysis, strategic writing and storytelling expertise. You will need to bring together both technical sustainability and communications expertise so that final outputs are rigorous, insightful and engaging. Recent examples of this include a large report for the Department for Education on the sector's Net Zero pathway (co-created with 21 universities and colleges); an internal report for a luxury fashion brand on the intersection of Women and Climate, and an external Sustainability Report for a US pharmaceutical company including disclosure against the latest frameworks and ESG regulations.

At a more tactical level - you will also lead on communications planning and execution alongside their client's teams. You will work with writers, designers and project managers to creatively launch strategy, initiatives and events to internal and external audiences. At times they are also asked to collaborate with their clients' communications and marketing partners, from PR companies to advertising agencies, providing unique insight into the sustainability agenda.

In addition to client challenges, you will also help develop new business opportunities by creating content for their own marketing and thought leadership, as well as shaping proposals for new and existing clients. This includes an internal role of managing their social media content calendar with a member of their project management team.

The Senior Sustainability Communications Consultant will report to Penny Baxter.
