3What this role really is

This role sets the sustainability strategy for a business unit or region, covering several years at a time. The work involves building environmental and social responsibility into daily operations, and representing sustainability to senior leaders, regulators and partners.

4What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

EHS & Sustainability Platforms (e.g., Enablon, Intelex, Cority) Strategic

Leading the selection, negotiation, and enterprise-wide implementation of EHS and sustainability data management platforms. You'll define the strategic roadmap for platform capabilities and ensure it supports our global reporting and compliance needs.

Data Analysis & Visualization (e.g., Power BI, Tableau, Advanced Excel) Strategic

Defining the enterprise-wide sustainability data strategy and KPI architecture. You'll review high-level dashboards for board presentations, ensuring data integrity and actionable insights, and challenge your team on data interpretation.

Regulatory & Standards Databases (e.g., ISO.org, GRI, SASB, ECHA) Strategic

Engaging with standards bodies, influencing corporate positions on emerging regulations (e.g., CSRD, IFRS S1/S2), and ensuring our internal systems are proactively updated to meet future requirements. You'll direct your team on deep dives into specific regulatory changes.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) (e.g., SAP S/4HANA EHS, Oracle NetSuite) Architect

Mandating and overseeing data governance standards for sustainability metrics within the core ERP system. You'll work with IT and Finance leadership to ensure sustainability data is integrated and reliable at the source, driving system-level changes.

Collaboration & Documentation (e.g., MS SharePoint, MS Teams, Confluence) Strategic

Setting the global policy and standards for documentation, record-keeping, and audit evidence for sustainability compliance. You'll ensure robust, accessible systems are in place for your distributed team.

5What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing in Where you are nowThe step above
Strategic Direction & Policy Follows established policies. Proposes minor policy adjustments within a project. Designs and recommends new policies for specific workstreams.
Budget Allocation No budget authority; requests resources. Manages small project budgets (up to £5K) with approval. Manages workstream budgets (up to £50K), with Director approval.
Team & Talent Management No direct reports; focuses on individual development. Informally guides junior colleagues. Mentors 0-2 junior team members; provides input on performance.
External Representation No external representation, internal focus. May participate in specific external meetings with manager. Represents the company in specific technical working groups or audits.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Absolute Scope 1 & 2 GHG Emissions Reduction
Year-over-year reduction in direct and energy-related greenhouse gas emissions across your business unit.
Target · Achieve a 5% year-over-year reduction in absolute Scope 1 & 2 emissions, contributing to our overall net-zero pathway.

In Q4, we saw a 1.5% reduction in Scope 1 emissions due to the shift to renewable energy at our Manchester plant, putting us on track for the annual 5% target.

ESG Rating Improvement
Improvement in our external Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) ratings from key agencies.
Target · Elevate our overall ESG rating (e.g., Sustainalytics, MSCI) to be in the top quartile of our industry within 24 months.

Our Sustainalytics score improved from 'Medium Risk' to 'Low Risk' this year, directly impacting investor confidence and our cost of capital.

Global EHS/Sustainability Platform Deployment
Successful, on-time, and on-budget implementation of an enterprise-wide EHS and sustainability data management platform.
Target · Deploy the new global EHS data platform across all target sites within 18 months, staying within 5% of the approved budget.

The platform rollout in Europe was completed a month ahead of schedule and 2% under budget, providing real-time data for our quarterly board reports.

Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR)
Reduction in the frequency of workplace injuries and illnesses requiring medical treatment beyond first aid.
Target · Reduce the TRIR by 10% year-over-year across the business unit, aiming for industry-leading safety performance.

After implementing the new behavioural safety programme, our TRIR dropped from 1.2 to 1.0 in the last six months, a clear indicator of improved safety culture.

Strategic Integration & Influence
How well sustainability and EHS considerations are embedded into core business decisions, not just seen as an add-on.
  • You'll be regularly invited to strategic planning meetings for new product development or market entry. Business unit leaders will proactively seek your input on major capital projects. You'll see sustainability targets integrated into the KPIs of other departments, not just your own. Frankly, your input will be genuinely valued and acted upon, not just listened to politely.
Board and Executive Engagement
The effectiveness of your communication and influence with the C-suite and Board of Directors on sustainability matters.
  • You'll present to the Board at least quarterly, receiving constructive challenge rather than blank stares. Board members will reference your insights in other discussions. You'll be seen as a trusted advisor, not just a reporter of numbers. They'll ask for your perspective on emerging regulatory risks or investor demands, not just for the data.
Talent Development & Team Health
The ability to build, mentor, and retain a high-performing team that can deliver on ambitious sustainability goals.
  • Your direct reports will consistently meet or exceed their objectives. You'll have a clear succession plan for key roles. Retention rates within your team will be above the company average. You'll be known for developing future leaders, with people actively seeking to join your team. Feedback from your team will show strong engagement and a clear sense of purpose.

7Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Driving Enterprise-Wide Transformation

You'll spend your days influencing strategic decisions, seeing your sustainability roadmap come to life across multiple business units, and knowing your work directly impacts the company's long-term viability and positive societal impact.

Seeing a new product line launch with significantly reduced embedded carbon because of the design principles you championed, or witnessing a major operational shift to 100% renewable energy that you spearheaded.

Influencing at the Highest Levels

You'll be regularly engaging with the C-suite and Board, presenting your strategy, defending your budget, and shaping their understanding of critical ESG risks and opportunities. This means your voice genuinely matters in the most important conversations.

Successfully convincing the Board to allocate £5M for a new circular economy initiative, or leading a critical discussion on climate risk disclosure with institutional investors.

Building and Empowering High-Performing Teams

You'll be responsible for recruiting, developing, and mentoring a large team of sustainability and EHS professionals, fostering a culture of excellence and innovation. Your satisfaction comes from seeing your team members grow and deliver significant results.

Watching a manager you mentored successfully lead a complex global audit, or seeing your team's innovative solution to a waste problem adopted company-wide.

What frustrates people
  • The constant tension between short-term P&L demands and long-term sustainability investments.
  • Navigating complex internal politics and resistance to change from entrenched departments.
  • The sheer volume and complexity of evolving global ESG regulations, often with conflicting requirements.
  • Dealing with 'audit fatigue' – the endless cycle of preparing for, hosting, and responding to multiple internal and external audits.
  • The challenge of getting accurate, assurance-ready data from disparate global operations that use different systems and have varying levels of data maturity.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, predictable work environment with minimal external scrutiny.
  • A role where you can avoid difficult conversations with senior leaders or external stakeholders.
  • The luxury of focusing solely on technical details without considering the broader business and political context.
  • A guaranteed 'win' for every sustainability initiative you propose; you'll face setbacks and compromises.

8Who you work with

This role directly shapes the company's long-term resilience, brand value, and ability to attract capital. Your decisions will influence operational costs, regulatory compliance, and our competitive advantage in an increasingly sustainability-focused market. Frankly, you're a critical part of ensuring we're still in business and thriving in 10-20 years.

Inside the business
  • C-Suite (CEO, COO, CFO)
  • Business Unit Managing Directors
  • Heads of Operations and Supply Chain
  • Legal and Investor Relations Teams
  • Product Development and R&D Leadership
Outside the business
  • Regulatory Bodies (e.g., Environment Agency, HSE)
  • Investors and ESG Rating Agencies (e.g., Sustainalytics, MSCI)
  • Key Customers and Supply Chain Partners
  • Industry Associations and Standards Bodies (e.g., ISO, GRI)
  • External Auditors and Assurance Providers

9What you need before you start

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

  • Proven track record of 10+ years in senior EHS or sustainability management roles, ideally within a complex, multi-site industrial or manufacturing environment.
  • Demonstrable experience leading and developing large, distributed teams (20+ people, including managers).
  • Expertise in designing, implementing, and maintaining certified management systems (e.g., ISO 14001, ISO 45001).
  • Extensive experience with global sustainability reporting frameworks (GRI, SASB, TCFD) and leading external assurance processes.
  • A deep understanding of relevant environmental and health & safety legislation in the UK and at least one other major global region (e.g., EU, North America).
  • Experience managing significant budgets (£1M+) and demonstrating clear ROI for sustainability investments.

10What to practise next

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

Advanced Supply Chain Due Diligence Technologies

Regulations like the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act and the upcoming EU CSDDD are making companies legally responsible for human rights and environmental impacts deep in their supply chains. Traditional audit methods are insufficient. New technologies are needed for real-time monitoring and risk assessment.

Geospatial Intelligence (GIS) for Risk Mapping · AI-Powered Supplier Risk Screening · Digital Product Passports · Blockchain for Traceability

  • This quarter: Research leading supply chain due diligence platforms and technologies, identifying potential vendors.
  • Next 6 months: Partner with Procurement and Legal to assess current supply chain risk management gaps against new regulations.
  • Next 12 months: Pilot a new technology (e.g., a geospatial monitoring platform) for a high-risk segment of our supply chain.
  • Ongoing: Engage with industry working groups on supply chain transparency and digital solutions.

Quick win: Identify our top 10 highest-risk suppliers and research publicly available ESG data on them using free online tools. Map their locations using Google Earth to understand geographical risks.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Active participation and leadership roles in relevant industry associations (e.g., IEMA, IOSH, CBI Environment Committee).
  • Regular attendance at executive-level sustainability and EHS conferences and workshops to stay abreast of emerging trends and network with peers.
  • Pursuing advanced executive education programmes focused on ESG, corporate governance, or strategic leadership.
  • Mentoring junior professionals within the sustainability and EHS field, giving back to the community and honing leadership skills.

12The rising capability

What's rising in its place

This is where the work is heading, and the higher pay with it. Get fluent here and the shift stops being a threat and starts being your edge.

AI-Powered ESG Data Governance & Assurance

The sheer volume and complexity of ESG data are exploding, and regulators (like CSRD) are demanding 'assurance-ready' data. Manual processes won't cut it. AI will be critical for automating data collection, validating integrity, and identifying anomalies at scale, making audit preparation much more efficient.

  • Data Lineage & Traceability
  • AI-Driven Anomaly Detection
  • Natural Language Processing (NLP) for Document Analysis
  • Blockchain for Supply Chain Transparency

Climate Scenario Planning & Financial Modelling

TCFD and IFRS S2 explicitly require companies to assess and disclose the financial impacts of climate-related risks and opportunities under different scenarios. This isn't just an environmental exercise; it's a financial one that needs to be integrated into enterprise risk management and capital allocation decisions.

  • Physical vs. Transition Risks
  • IPCC Scenarios (e.g., SSPs, RCPs)
  • Financial Impact Quantification
  • Strategic Resilience Planning

  1. VP, EHS & Sustainability (L7)

    3-5 years in the Director role

    From business unit/regional strategy to global enterprise-wide vision and execution.

    • Advanced Climate Finance & Carbon Markets Expertise in carbon credit generation, trading, and internal carbon pricing mechanisms.

    • Integrated Reporting & Value Creation Linking sustainability performance directly to financial value creation and long-term business resilience.
Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

As a Director, your time is gold. You're not meant to be buried in spreadsheets or drafting reports from scratch. Imagine if you could offload the heavy lifting of data synthesis, regulatory scanning, and even first drafts of strategic documents. That's exactly what AI can do for you and your team.

We're not just talking about minor tweaks; we're talking about fundamentally changing how you oversee and execute sustainability and EHS strategy. AI tools, when used smartly, can free up your most valuable resource—your strategic thinking time—allowing you to focus on high-level influence, risk mitigation, and driving genuine transformation across the business.

Automated Data Harvesting & Validation Oversight

You'll oversee the deployment of AI-powered OCR and RPA bots that automatically extract and pre-validate consumption data from thousands of PDF utility bills, supplier invoices, and operational logs. This means your team spends less time on manual data entry and more time on analysis, and you get assurance-ready data faster.

Strategic Anomaly Detection & Predictive Risk

Instead of waiting for an incident, you'll use AI models to proactively monitor real-time energy, water, or chemical usage. These models flag statistically significant deviations, pointing your team directly to potential leaks, equipment malfunctions, or process inefficiencies before they become major compliance issues or cost overruns. You'll be able to predict and prevent, not just react.

Regulatory Intelligence & Impact Assessment

Imagine an AI assistant scanning hundreds of newly proposed environmental regulations from global jurisdictions (e.g., EU CSRD, SEC climate rules). It then generates concise briefs, highlighting key requirements and potential impacts on your specific business unit. This allows you to quickly assess strategic implications and advise the C-suite proactively, staying ahead of the curve.

First-Draft Strategic & Board Report Generation

Feed structured data, key messaging points, and strategic objectives into a generative AI model. It can then produce a robust first draft of narrative sections for your annual sustainability report, board papers, or even investor briefings (e.g., 'Our Climate Transition Plan'). This frees you and your managers to focus on refining, verifying, and adding the critical strategic nuance.
