You will prepare presentations and written reports attend and lead senior meetings, contribute to thought leadership, represent the business at conferences and events and you'll oversee the development and wellbeing of your Team.

You'll be familiar with a variety of sustainability frameworks such as TCFD, SASB, Science Based Targets and you'll understands the international regulatory landscape including EU Taxonomy and CSRD.
