* Oversee reporting and compliance for CSRD, SFDR, EU Taxonomy, TCFD, GRESB and GRI, helping clients stay ahead of regulation.
* Act as a trusted senior advisor, guiding clients through material ESG issues, climate-related risks, and net zero pathways.
* Take ownership of business development, expanding accounts, winning new clients, and shaping innovative service lines.
* Manage financial performance, budgets, and resourcing for a growing portfolio of ESG projects.
* Lead and mentor a team of 10+ consultants, inspiring the next generation of ESG leaders.
* Represent the consultancy as a thought leader, bringing market insights and best practice into every client engagement.
About You
* A seasoned ESG or sustainability professional with 10+ years' experience, ideally with real estate or financial sector clients.
* Strong track record in growing accounts, securing new work, and developing new services.
* Proven ability to manage and inspire large teams (10+ consultants).
* Deep technical knowledge of ESG frameworks and reporting standards (GRESB, CSRD, SFDR, TCFD, GRI, EU Taxonomy).
* Commercially astute, with experience in budget management, forecasting, and client account leadership.
* A natural communicator, able to influence at board level and build trust with senior stakeholders.
* Degree in sustainability, engineering, real estate or related discipline professional membership (RICS, IEMA, CEnv) desirable.
Why Join?
* Work at the cutting edge of ESG in real estate, advising clients with some of the largest and most high-profile portfolios in Europe.
* Lead a 10+ strong ESG team, shaping its culture, direction, and growth.
* Be part of an entrepreneurial, fast-growing practice where your ideas directly shape services and client impact.
* Enjoy a flexible, supportive culture with hybrid working and continuous professional development.
* Competitive salary and market-leading benefits, with clear opportunities to progress to Director level.
