You will play an important role supporting the strategic delivery of the Group sustainability strategy (our Positive Impact Plan) through your ESG and/or financial reporting expertise. We are looking for transversal skills which may or may not have been gained in an ESG context. You may be an ESG Reporting expert, or you may have spent much of your career in financial reporting, risk management or data analytics, but are wanting to make the move into Sustainability.

We are a social, collaborative, sleeves-rolled up team who like solving big challenging problems together. This role can be based in the UK (London/Leeds office hubs), Dublin or further afield if time zone compatible and you are able to travel. We have adopted a new way of working to give you the flexibility to work your way, but team meetings and Group events are a must do.
