In this role, you will
• Drive the identification, development, and delivery of nature-based carbon offset projects that contribute to long-term carbon removal strategy and provide biodiversity and social impacts.
• Manage carbon project monitoring, tracking and reporting, working closely with specialist contractors and partners to ensure timely and high-quality outcomes.
• Support the design and execution of broader environmental programs, including waste and water neutrality initiatives.
• Collaborate with operating companies and cross-functional teams to align sustainability targets and embed best practice across the group.
• Produce compelling internal papers and presentations to inform senior stakeholders and support decision-making to advance the sustainability agenda.

Key attributes
• Experience in carbon project development or environmental program management.
• Ability to identify and address risks to ensure project viability.
• Previous experience managing high-integrity carbon projects, including experience working with standards such as Verra and Gold Standard.
• Experience delivering nature-based solutions (e.g., reforestation, regeneration, wetland restoration) with a balance of carbon sequestration goals, biodiversity uplifts, and social impact.
• Ideally Bachelor's/Master's degree - in a related discipline such as environmental science, sustainability, carbon finance.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to produce concise, persuasive written reports and board papers.
• Strong stakeholder engagement skills and the confidence to work across international teams and with a range of stakeholders, including landowners, corporates, NGOs and regulatory bodies.
• Ability to develop long-term sustainability strategies that align with commercial corporate goals.
• Sustainability subject specialisms: helpful to have management or technical skills in other areas such as decarbonisation, water neutrality, waste and climate risk.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a purpose-driven business with scale, legacy, and ambition to drive sustainable impact. You'll gain access to a wide platform of environmental programs, senior leadership, and the opportunity to shape projects that support climate resilience and biodiversity restoration on a global scale.

If you're ready to take the lead on environmental initiatives with the support of an established sustainability team and a forward-looking organisation, we'd love to hear from you.
