Sustainable Strategy Manager/ Senior Manager

Overview

We set out to build the world's most trusted consulting firm - using our skills and experience to help our clients become a force for good in the world. We work with the largest and most influential organisations, from FTSE 100 names and central government departments to innovative companies.

You'll find us collaborating shoulder-to-shoulder with our clients, from the big picture right down to the detail:

• helping them redefine their purpose, vision, goals and strategy

• delivering complex, systemic transformation programs across entire value chains

• Proactively managing risk

We do this by slotting seamlessly into their teams and integrating sustainability into the core strategy that drives the organisation, not as a standalone peripheral document.

Our client believes that diversity is paramount to driving creativity, innovation, and value for our clients and for our people, and creating an environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging is central to our culture.

What will you be doing?

• Helping clients reimagine their purpose as a force for good in the world

• Advising clients on updating their existing business strategies to account for the emerging sustainability agenda

• Redesigning operating models across industry value chains

• Supporting clients to implement changes across their operations and value chains

• Supporting clients through their Sustainability change journey and embedding Sustainability into the heart of organisational culture

• Establishing environmental and social impact baselines

• Identifying opportunities to reduce impact as much as possible (rather than incrementally)
