7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Making a Tangible Impact

You'll get a real buzz from seeing our emissions numbers actually go down, or a new circular product launch. It's not just about reports; it's about real-world change.

Successfully launching a major renewable energy procurement deal that visibly reduces our Scope 2 emissions across multiple sites.

Strategic Problem Solving

You thrive on figuring out how to achieve ambitious environmental goals within complex business constraints. It's like a giant, multi-dimensional puzzle.

Developing a viable strategy to address Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services, a notoriously difficult challenge.

Influencing at the Highest Levels

The idea of shaping board-level discussions and seeing your strategic recommendations adopted at an enterprise level genuinely excites you.

Leading the development of a new climate risk management framework that gets endorsed by the Board and integrated into our ERM.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Battle for Data': Spending 50% of your team's time chasing, cleaning, and validating operational data (energy bills, waste manifests, logistics data) from hundreds of global sites that use inconsistent formats and have no inherent incentive to report accurately or on time.
  • 'Sustainability Theatre': Being pressured by Marketing or HR to launch high-visibility, low-impact initiatives (e.g., 'office composting programme') that distract from the hard, expensive work of decarbonising core operations.
  • The Quarterly Earnings Tyranny: Trying to justify a 10-year, £50M investment in a new manufacturing process to a leadership team whose bonuses are tied to the next quarter's EPS.
  • The 'Not My Problem' Syndrome: The constant struggle of getting other departments (Supply Chain, Engineering, Finance) to take ownership of their portion of the company's environmental footprint.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, purely analytical role where you can just focus on the numbers without engaging people.
  • A 'set it and forget it' strategy, as the landscape is constantly evolving.
  • Immediate, short-term gratification for every initiative; many environmental programmes have long lead times.
  • A role where you're always popular; sometimes you'll be pushing uncomfortable changes.

8Who you work with

This role directly impacts our ability to meet public environmental commitments, manage climate-related risks, and maintain our 'licence to operate' in an increasingly regulated world. You'll shape our long-term resilience, influence capital allocation decisions, and ultimately protect and enhance shareholder value by integrating environmental stewardship into our core business strategy. Get it right, and we're a leader; get it wrong, and we're playing catch-up, facing significant financial and reputational headwinds.

Inside the business
  • CFO and Finance Leadership (for capital allocation and financial disclosures)
  • Head of Operations and Supply Chain (for decarbonisation levers and data collection)
  • Head of R&D and Product Development (for sustainable design and circularity)
  • Legal & Regulatory Affairs (for compliance and policy engagement)
  • Marketing & Communications (for external reporting and brand positioning)
  • Board's Sustainability Committee (for strategic updates and approvals)
Outside the business
  • Regulators (e.g., DEFRA, Environment Agency, EU Commission)
  • ESG Rating Agencies (e.g., MSCI, Sustainalytics, CDP)
  • Industry Associations (e.g., WBCSD, Science Based Targets initiative)
  • External Auditors (for ESG data assurance)
  • Key Investors (for climate-related financial disclosures)
  • Strategic Technology Partners

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • Proven track record (15+ years) in leading and delivering complex global environmental programmes, ideally within a large, multinational organisation.
  • Demonstrable experience in setting and achieving ambitious GHG emissions reduction targets, including Scope 3.
  • Deep understanding of the financial implications of environmental strategy and experience in building robust business cases for significant investments.
  • Extensive experience in managing and developing high-performing teams, including other managers or programme leads.
  • Strong network within the environmental sustainability community, including industry bodies, NGOs, and regulatory contacts.
  • Experience presenting complex strategic topics to Board-level audiences and engaging effectively with investors on ESG matters.

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Scope 3 Data & Assurance Methodologies

Scope 3 is the biggest beast in carbon accounting, and the demand for robust, auditable data is only increasing, especially with regulations like CSRD. You'll need to be an expert in the nuances of data collection, estimation, and assurance for all 15 categories, not just the easy ones.

Primary vs. secondary Scope 3 data collection · Supplier engagement strategies for data quality · Financial vs. operational control approaches for S · External assurance standards (e.g., ISAE 3000, AA1 · Attribution and allocation methodologies for share

  • This quarter: Review our current Scope 3 data collection processes and identify 2-3 areas for significant improvement.
  • Next 6 months: Engage with a Big Four firm to understand their latest Scope 3 assurance methodologies and expectations.
  • Next 12 months: Lead a project to significantly improve the accuracy and completeness of our most material Scope 3 categories.
  • Ongoing: Participate in industry working groups focused on Scope 3 reporting challenges and solutions.

Quick win: Pick one challenging Scope 3 category (e.g., 'Use of Sold Products') and develop a detailed plan to improve its data quality and estimation method within the next 3 months.

Biodiversity & Nature-Related Financial Disclosures (TNFD)

After climate, biodiversity loss is the next big environmental frontier for businesses. The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) is rapidly gaining traction, and soon, reporting on nature impacts and dependencies will be as critical as climate disclosures. You'll need to understand how this impacts our operations and strategy.

LEAP approach (Locate, Evaluate, Assess, Prepare) · Nature-related risks and opportunities · Biodiversity metrics and targets · Ecosystem services and natural capital valuation · Science-based targets for nature (SBTN)

  • This quarter: Familiarise yourself with the TNFD framework and its core recommendations.
  • Next 6 months: Conduct a preliminary assessment of our key nature-related dependencies and impacts across our value chain.
  • Next 12 months: Develop a roadmap for integrating nature-related considerations into our risk management and reporting frameworks.
  • Ongoing: Engage with relevant NGOs and experts to understand best practices in nature-positive business strategies.

Quick win: Identify one high-risk operational site or supply chain segment and conduct a basic 'Locate' and 'Evaluate' assessment using the TNFD framework.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Active participation in leading industry forums and working groups (e.g., WBCSD, SBTi, TNFD) to stay abreast of emerging trends and influence policy.
  • Regular engagement with academic institutions and research bodies on cutting-edge environmental science and sustainable technologies.
  • Mentoring junior professionals in the environmental sustainability field, sharing knowledge and building the next generation of leaders.
  • Attending executive education programmes focused on strategic leadership, climate finance, or circular economy innovation.
  • Publishing thought leadership articles or presenting at major conferences to enhance our company's external profile and your own.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, leading global environmental strategy is complex. You're juggling regulations, data, and demanding stakeholders. What if you could reclaim hours every week, focusing on strategic impact rather than tedious tasks? That's where AI comes in.

Imagine having a tireless assistant that can sift through thousands of documents, model complex scenarios, and even draft your board reports. AI isn't here to replace your strategic brain; it's here to amplify it, helping you make faster, more informed decisions and drive change more effectively. Here's how it could look day-to-day:

Data Ingestion Automation

Use AI-powered optical character recognition (OCR) and natural language processing to automatically extract consumption data from thousands of unstructured utility bills (PDFs, scans) and waste manifests from global sites. It'll flag anomalies for your team's review, cutting down on the 'battle for data' significantly. This means your team spends less time chasing numbers and more time analysing them.

Decarbonisation Scenario Modelling

Leverage AI to run thousands of simulations of different decarbonisation pathways. You can optimise for cost, ROI, and emissions reduction, helping you identify non-obvious combinations of initiatives (e.g., CAPEX vs. OPEX, technology A vs. B) to hit targets most effectively. This reduces manual scenario analysis from weeks to hours, giving you more robust options for strategic planning and board presentations.

Regulatory Intelligence Synthesis

Deploy an AI agent to continuously scan global government and regulatory body websites for proposed and finalised environmental legislation. The AI summarises key changes, assesses potential impact based on company operations, and drafts initial briefing notes for your review. This means you're always ahead of the curve, without your team spending countless hours on manual research and summarisation.

ESG Report & Presentation Drafting

Use a generative AI model, trained on our company's past reports and data, to create the first draft of the annual sustainability report narrative, responses to ESG ratings agencies (e.g., CDP), and slides for the board's sustainability committee. This cuts drafting time for major reports and presentations by 40-50%, freeing you up to focus on strategy, refinement, and those crucial stakeholder conversations.
