Job Description:

Are you someone who wants to help companies transition to a low carbon future and achieve ambitious Net Zero goals? Do you know how to express climate impact and decarbonisation opportunities clearly to clients in numbers and words? We, at ERM, are looking for a Senior Consultant to join the Sustainability & Climate Solutions team in the UK. As our new colleague, you will work on challenging and innovative projects with a focus on helping companies work towards achieving net zero and move towards transition in a low carbon economy.

Who are you?

You are someone who has a strong interest in making a positive impact in addressing the climate crisis. You love working with people and clients and know how to manage complex data to identify key trends and provide valuable insights. Climate, net zero and transition interests you and you want to impact the world positively with your work. You are proactive and know how to engage people. Other important qualities include:
• Advisory skills such as analytical thinking, flexibility, active communication
• Relevant experience in climate change/transition (e.g. at a consulting firm or in-house CSR department)
• Experience in greenhouse gas accounting and reporting (e.g. GHG Protocol, SECR, PCAF, EEIO), target setting (e.g. SBTi),
• Knowledge of reporting frameworks (e.g. CDP and TCFD disclosures), and awareness of developments in the field, such as those around corporate sustainability reporting (EU CSRD, SASB, GRI).

We’re not expecting you to excel in every one of the competencies above and we provide training and mentoring. Beyond your work experience and background, we really value enthusiasm, willingness to learn, and drive.

What do we offer?
• Fair, equitable and market-leading compensation, recognising your skills and work experience;
• A chance to work on the cutting edge of climate and sustainability knowledge, studies, methods and techniques
• A culture of continuous learning and growth, through our ERM Academy platform
• Hybrid working, with access to an active ERM office environment to shadow colleagues and learn
• A culture where we care for our people, with access to wellbeing support and a strong DEIB policy
• A fun work environment in which you work together with dedicated colleagues who want to progress towards a sustainable future.

Who are we?

We are a group of management consulting and technical specialists who support clients around the world with their climate and sustainability challenges. Within our Sustainability & Climate Solutions team, we believe in the power of companies and their ability to make a difference. And it is our mission to help them do so via our market-leading advisory services. At ERM sustainability is our business and we strive for impact in our work and careers. We partner with the world’s leading organizations, creating innovative solutions to sustainability challenges, and unlocking commercial opportunities that meet the needs of today while preserving opportunity for future generations.

Excited about this role?

We believe in supporting our people at ERM to achieve their best. We aim to build an inclusive culture by identifying, acquiring, developing, and retaining a highly skilled and high-performing workforce that reflects the diverse global marketplace in which we operate, regardless of gender, ethnicity, religious preference, sexual orientation, physical attributes, educational background, or other intersectional factors. Creating a diverse and inclusive work environment is not only an essential part of making our company a great place to build a career, but also a strength that helps us create better solutions for our clients. If you see yourself excelling in this position, we encourage you to send us an application.
