Senior Consultant - ESG

Overview

You'll need to be an active listener and proactive in taking action. You will already have been involved in ESG projects that have delivered value to the organisations you've worked with and have a good grounding in the approaches and methodology behind them. If you haven't yet focused on a specific industry or sector, you will at very least have a good understanding of current business and economic issues and trends.

As a Senior Consultant, your focus will be on excellent client delivery, so you will need strong analytical skills and be an exceptional communicator, whatever the medium. You will also become involved in business development and practice management activities. This will include networking across the firm, helping to shape targeting campaigns and meeting with prospective clients, producing case studies, and developing methodologies.

• Contribute to business development and practice management activities, including networking, targeting campaigns, meeting prospective clients, producing case studies, and developing methodologies.
• Collaborate with diverse teams and build trust and credibility with clients to establish effective relationships.
• Work within the Consulting portfolio to support growth through the six solutions: business transformation, deal services, finance function support, risk and governance, forensic and investigation services, and restructuring.

• A strong academic record: preferably with a business focus and ideally to post-graduate level.
• A minimum of 3 years working as a business advisor, either in a practice or part of an in-house team.
• Significant experience of a combination of the following:
  • Sustainability Strategy, Governance, Risk Management and Performance Management
  • ESG Strategy, Governance, Risk Management and Performance Management
  • ESG/Sustainability supply chain risk/opportunities
  • Financial reporting and limited assurance

  • ESG transformation, strategic planning, business case development and project management
• Excellent spoken and written communication, including the ability to present complex ideas clearly and concisely.

• Desirable: MBA/MSC in an ESG/Sustainability subject/discipline or a relevant postgraduate qualification (e.g., CFA ESG investing certificate).
• Demonstrable experience of project/programme management.
• Practical experience of working in an ESG function.
• Experience in ESG/Sustainability reporting frameworks (e.g., TCFD or CSRD).
