3What this role really is

This job means leading communications about a company's environmental, social and governance work. It means keeping the message clear, credible and consistent across every audience.

4What you'd actually use

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

Workiva (or similar ESG Reporting & Data Management platform) Strategic

Leading the selection, implementation, and ongoing optimisation of our ESG reporting platform. You'll design enterprise-wide data governance for ESG and ensure seamless integration with other corporate systems. Your team will use it, but you'll own the strategy.

Meltwater / Cision / Signal AI (Media Monitoring & Intelligence) Strategic

Setting the overall media intelligence strategy for ESG, using platform data to forecast reputational risks, inform C-suite crisis response, and track the effectiveness of our communication campaigns. You'll be looking at the big picture.

Salesforce (for investor relations) / Borealis (SRM) Strategic

Defining the entire stakeholder engagement architecture, ensuring SRM data is linked to corporate strategy and risk management. You'll use it to manage high-level investor relationships and ensure your team's engagement efforts are coordinated and impactful.

Asana / MS Teams / SharePoint (Collaboration & Project Management) Strategic

Mandating and standardising collaboration tools across cross-functional ESG working groups. You'll design the project management frameworks for annual reporting and other initiatives, ensuring a single source of truth and efficient team operations.

PowerPoint (with Think-Cell) / Canva / Adobe InDesign (Presentation & Design) Strategic

Overseeing the visual identity and brand consistency of all ESG communications. You'll brief and manage external design agencies for high-stakes reports and presentations, ensuring the output is professional and impactful. You're the final arbiter of visual quality.

MSCI ESG Research / Sustainalytics / ISS ESG / Bloomberg Terminal (ESG Ratings & Research) Strategic

Engaging directly with ratings agency analysts to challenge methodologies, advocate for the company's position, and drive improvements in our scores. You'll use these platforms for strategic benchmarking and competitive intelligence.

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
ESG Communications Strategy & Narrative Follows established guidelines, drafts content based on existing narrative. Proposes minor adjustments to messaging for specific audiences, drafts sections of the narrative. Designs and refines the core ESG narrative, makes recommendations to leadership on strategic messaging shifts.
Annual ESG Reporting Scope & Content Gathers data points for pre-defined sections, flags missing information. Manages data collection for a specific division, drafts sections of the report based on agreed scope. Manages the end-to-end reporting cycle for a specific framework (e.g., TCFD), proposes content additions/changes.
Budget Allocation (within ESG Comms) No budget authority, flags resource needs. Proposes budget for specific tools or small projects (under £5K), needs manager approval. Manages project budgets up to £25K, makes recommendations for larger expenditures.
Team Hiring & Performance No direct reports, provides peer feedback. No direct reports, informally mentors new joiners. Mentors 1-2 junior team members, provides input on performance reviews.
External Agency Engagement Supports agency requests, provides data. Coordinates with agencies on specific deliverables, reviews initial drafts. Manages agency relationships for specific projects (e.g., report design), reviews and provides feedback on outputs.

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.

ESG Rating Improvements
Year-over-year improvement in key third-party ESG ratings and scores.
Target · Achieve a minimum 5-point increase in our primary MSCI ESG rating or move up one quartile in Sustainalytics peer ranking annually.

If our MSCI rating was BBB last year, we'd aim for A this year, or if we were in the 3rd quartile, we'd target the 2nd.

Media Sentiment on ESG Topics
The percentage of positive or neutral media coverage related to our company's ESG performance.
Target · Maintain >85% positive/neutral sentiment across key media outlets and social channels, specifically for ESG-related mentions.

If Meltwater shows 100 ESG mentions, we want no more than 15 of those to be negative or critical.

Shareholder Support for ESG Proposals
The level of shareholder support for management-backed ESG proposals (e.g., 'Say on Climate') and opposition to activist proposals.
Target · Secure >80% shareholder approval for management ESG proposals and successfully defend against >75% of negative activist proposals.

If we put forward a climate transition plan for a 'Say on Climate' vote, we'd expect at least 80% of votes in favour.

Reporting Compliance & Timeliness
Timely and accurate submission of all mandatory ESG reports (e.g., Annual Report, Sustainability Report, TCFD disclosures) with minimal audit findings.
Target · 100% on-time submission of all major reports, with <2 minor findings from external assurance providers.

Delivering the full Sustainability Report by 15 March, with the external auditor only flagging two formatting inconsistencies, not data errors.

Strategic Influence & Advisory
Being the go-to expert for senior leadership on ESG messaging and reputational risk.
  • You'll be regularly invited to C-suite and business unit leadership meetings to provide input on ESG communications strategy. Senior leaders will proactively seek your advice before making public statements related to sustainability. Your team's insights will directly inform strategic decisions, not just report on them.
Team Development & Empowerment
Building a high-performing, engaged, and resilient ESG communications team.
  • Your direct reports will show measurable growth in their skills and autonomy, evidenced by positive feedback in 360-degree reviews and clear progression in their project ownership. Retention rates within your team will be above the department average, and they'll feel supported in navigating the tricky parts of ESG communications.
Crisis Preparedness & Response
The ability to anticipate, prepare for, and effectively manage ESG-related reputational crises.
  • You'll have a robust ESG crisis communications plan in place, regularly tested with relevant teams. When a 'near-miss' or actual crisis occurs (e.g., a supply chain issue), your team's rapid and accurate response will minimise negative media impact and protect brand value. Post-crisis reviews will highlight your team's effective leadership.
External Reputation & Thought Leadership
Our company being recognised as a credible and transparent leader in ESG communications.
  • We'll see increased invitations for our leadership to speak at major sustainability conferences. Your team's reports will be cited by industry analysts or media as examples of best practice. We'll notice a general increase in positive mentions of our transparency and integrity in ESG matters by external commentators.

7Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Making a Tangible Impact

You'll be driven by seeing your team's work directly influence investor decisions, improve our ESG ratings, or successfully navigate a reputational challenge. You want to know that the stories you're telling are moving the needle for the business and for a more sustainable future.

Watching our stock price stabilise after your team's swift and transparent response to a supply chain incident, knowing your strategy saved us millions.

Leading & Developing Others

You get a real kick out of seeing your team members grow, take on more responsibility, and master complex communication challenges. You'll enjoy coaching them through tricky stakeholder conversations or helping them refine a difficult piece of messaging. Their success is your success.

A junior specialist you mentored delivers a flawless presentation to a senior leadership committee, and you feel a genuine sense of pride.

Shaping Strategic Narratives

You love the challenge of taking disparate data points and complex operational realities and weaving them into a coherent, compelling, and defensible narrative. You're motivated by the opportunity to define how our company's sustainability journey is understood by the world.

Designing the core messaging for our new net-zero commitment, knowing it will be used by the CEO and influence our entire business strategy for the next decade.

What frustrates people
  • The Data Scavenger Hunt: Spending 40% of your team's time (and your own) chasing operational managers for data that lives in a 10-year-old spreadsheet on a shared drive they can't find, or worse, doesn't exist in an 'assurance-ready' format.
  • Stuck Between Marketing & Legal: Acting as the referee in the endless battle between the marketing team's desire to say 'We're 100% sustainable!' and the legal team's refusal to approve any word stronger than 'striving towards better practices.'
  • The Report Nobody Reads: Pouring 1,000+ hours into a beautifully crafted 150-page sustainability report that will be read cover-to-cover by approximately 12 people (and three of them are your parents).
  • The Moving Goalposts: You finally get your team's reporting aligned with SASB, only for the board to ask why you aren't fully compliant with the new EU CSRD standards, which require a completely different approach and a whole new set of data.
  • Explaining 'Scope 3' Again: The soul-crushing experience of explaining to a senior executive for the fourth time what Scope 3 emissions are and why they can't just be ignored.
  • Cost Centre until Proven Guilty: Being treated as a 'nice-to-have' communications function until an ESG crisis hits (e.g., a supply chain scandal), at which point you are suddenly expected to save the company's reputation overnight, often with limited resources.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, predictable work environment where priorities never shift.
  • Direct authority over the data-gathering processes in other departments.
  • Immediate, universal recognition for every piece of work your team produces.
  • A role where you only focus on one specific aspect of sustainability – it's broad and constantly evolving.

8Who you work with

This role directly shapes our company's external perception and internal alignment on ESG matters. Your team's output influences investor decisions, mitigates reputational risks, and ensures we meet increasingly stringent global reporting requirements. Honestly, you're the gatekeeper for our ESG credibility.

Inside the business
  • Director, ESG & Sustainability Communications
  • Heads of Business Units (e.g., Operations, Supply Chain, HR)
  • Legal & Compliance Team
  • Investor Relations (IR)
  • Corporate Communications & Marketing Leadership
  • Finance Leadership (CFO and Controllers)
Outside the business
  • ESG Ratings Agencies (MSCI, Sustainalytics, ISS ESG)
  • Shareholders & Institutional Investors
  • Regulators (e.g., SEC, EU Commission)
  • External Auditors & Assurance Providers
  • Industry Bodies & Associations
  • Media & NGOs

9What you need before you start

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

  • A proven track record (10+ years) of successfully leading complex ESG reporting cycles and communications initiatives in a large, international organisation.
  • Demonstrable experience in managing and developing a small team, including performance reviews, coaching, and career guidance.
  • Expert-level understanding and practical application of major ESG reporting frameworks (GRI, SASB, TCFD, preferably CSRD/ESRS).
  • A strong portfolio of high-quality ESG reports, presentations, and public statements that you have personally overseen or significantly contributed to.
  • Experience in managing relationships with external stakeholders like ESG ratings agencies and institutional investors.
  • A solid grasp of the financial implications of ESG issues and how to communicate them to an investor audience.

10What to practise next

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

ESG Platform Architecture & Integration

As ESG reporting becomes more complex and data-intensive, simply using platforms like Workiva won't be enough. You'll need to understand how to design and integrate these platforms with other corporate systems (e.g., ERP, GRC) to create a seamless, auditable data flow across the enterprise.

API Integrations for ESG Data · Data Lake/Warehouse for ESG · Data Governance for ESG · Scalable Reporting Infrastructure

  • This quarter: Schedule deep-dive sessions with our IT and Data teams to understand our current data architecture and integration capabilities.
  • Next quarter: Research best practices for ESG data governance and platform integration in similar-sized companies.
  • Month 6: Develop a roadmap for optimising our ESG data infrastructure, identifying key integration opportunities and potential bottlenecks.
  • Month 9: Lead a cross-functional working group to pilot a new data integration project for a critical ESG metric.

Quick win: Work with your team to map out the current end-to-end data flow for one key ESG metric, identifying all manual touchpoints and potential points of failure.

Advanced Digital Storytelling & Multimedia

Static text reports are losing impact. Future ESG communications will be highly digital, interactive, and multimedia-rich. You'll need to guide your team in creating engaging video content, interactive web experiences, and immersive digital reports to capture and hold attention.

Interactive Web Reports · Short-Form Video for ESG · Infographic & Motion Graphics Design · Accessibility in Digital Comms

  • This quarter: Research leading examples of interactive ESG reports and digital sustainability campaigns from other companies.
  • Next quarter: Partner with our Marketing or Digital team to explore their multimedia capabilities and tools.
  • Month 6: Develop a pilot project for an interactive ESG 'story' on our website, perhaps focusing on one specific impact area.
  • Month 9: Invest in training for your team on basic video editing, motion graphics, or interactive web design principles.

Quick win: Challenge your team to convert a static report section into a compelling infographic or a short animated explainer video for internal use.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly attend industry conferences and webinars on emerging ESG regulations, reporting trends, and communication best practices (e.g., GreenBiz, Responsible Business Summit).
  • Participate in professional networks or associations focused on sustainability communications or investor relations.
  • Undertake continuous learning on new digital tools and AI applications for data analysis, content creation, and media intelligence.
  • Engage in cross-functional projects within the company to deepen your understanding of operational ESG challenges and data sources.
  • Mentor junior professionals, both within your team and across the wider department, to hone your leadership and coaching skills.

  • Narrative Visualisation
  • Personalised Reporting
  • Data Ethics in Visualisation

AI-Powered ESG Intelligence & Foresight

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, managing a team and our company's ESG narrative is a huge job. The sheer volume of data, regulations, and reporting requirements can feel overwhelming. But what if you could give your team a serious edge, freeing them up for more strategic, impactful work? That's where AI comes in.

We're not talking about replacing human judgment; we're talking about smart tools that handle the grunt work, giving you and your team back precious hours. Imagine less time 'chasing down the data' and more time crafting the compelling stories that truly matter. Our AI Productivity Hub is designed to help our Sustainability_Corporate_Social team do exactly that.

Automated Data Extraction & Validation

Use AI to scan thousands of internal documents – operational reports, supplier audits, utility bills – to quickly identify and extract preliminary ESG data points. It'll flag inconsistencies for human review, saving your team countless hours of manual data entry and initial validation. This means your specialists can focus on deeper analysis, not just data wrangling.

Predictive Risk & Sentiment Monitoring

Leverage AI-powered media intelligence to perform real-time sentiment analysis across global news, social media, and activist forums. This helps your team identify emerging negative narratives or potential activist campaigns before they blow up. You'll get early warnings on reputational risks, allowing for proactive, strategic responses rather than reactive firefighting.

Rapid Regulation & Peer Analysis

Imagine using a generative AI assistant to summarise a dense, 300-page EU CSRD update into a two-page executive brief for the C-suite in minutes. Or quickly analysing and benchmarking 10 competitor sustainability reports to identify best practices and communication gaps. This frees your team from hours of tedious research, giving you strategic insights faster.

First-Draft Content Generation & Refinement

Once you've fed it approved data and key messaging points, AI can generate a solid first draft of a report section, a press release, an internal FAQ, or even a speech for a senior leader. Your team then refines and perfects it, ensuring accuracy and tone. This dramatically speeds up content creation, letting your specialists focus on strategic messaging and nuance.
