A Sustainability Consultant, fluent in German, to help us drive forward the next phase of impact and business growth.
About us
At Seismic we have 2 key goals: to be the best place you have ever worked, and to help 10 million people join the shift by 2030.
Along with creating impact through everything we do, connecting and building relationships is a core priority for us. That goes for our relationships with our amazing clients and with our fantastic team of changemakers, made up of a strong mix of B Corp, Net Zero, Reporting and Sustainability Comms experts, throughout the UK and Europe.
We love working with our clients. From SMEs to multinational corporations, we are committed to enabling them to prosper by helping them become ever more impactful forces for good.
All that’s missing is you!
The role and its responsibilities
The exact role definition will be dependent on the desire, capability and experiences of the right person. Key responsibilities are likely to include:
Leading a portfolio of clients on their sustainability and ESG journey.
Proactively identifying prospective client leads, then designing and selling projects with our Impact Development team, to help our clients utliise our expertise to achieve their sustainability goals
Delivering a high quality service, within budget, that enables long term impact.
Contributing to process improvement and optimisation within the ESG and the wider teams
Building strong and lasting relationships with colleagues, clients and our wider community
Identifying needs that the clients may not recognise and ensuring approaches and solutions are linked to objectives and future needs
About you
You believe that humanity and businesses need to make a seismic shift in the right direction and want to apply your consulting and analytical capabilities to help make that happen. At the same time you want to work in a friendly, collaborative and empathetic team who are delivering impactful projects for high-profile clients.
To be successful in this role you would need the following attributes:
You are passionate about sustainability having worked in a client facing consulting environment helping organisations set strategies across the range of ESG topics.
You will be fluent in both written and spoken German language, preferably as your native language but essentially to business fluency as a minimum.
You ideally have had some exposure to a professional services working environment.
Confident and competent consulting skills, including building client relationships, project management, report writing, presenting, and ultimately enabling client success.
Importantly, you love client work and also working with teammates to iterate products and services. You are a team player - you like a laugh, but are not afraid to graft. You are a student of sustainability, have plenty to offer, and know you have even more to learn.
You are action oriented, have a keen eye for detail and enjoy juggling multiple projects and priorities and enjoy just the right amount of time pressure to help keep productive and focused. You are a ‘people person’ with a knack for building relationships with a diverse group of people.
You are more excited by the opportunities of working for a young, fast growing, ever evolving, purpose-driven business than for a large corporate.
In your first 3 months you will:
Be introduced to your guide and mentor
Go through our onboarding programme with training across all our sustainability services
Join our weekly Personal Growth sessions and Friday lunch-and-learns on anything and everything to do with Impact
Begin working on your first client projects after initially shadowing the team
Location
You will be within commuting distance of our London office, attending the office (Spitalfields) at least twice per week.
Working hours
We believe in flexible working hours to better suit our personal lives while being considerate of each other and our clients. We generally work office hours but trust each other to make fair decisions.
Salary and benefits
Salary and benefits are competitive and dependent on skills and experience.
Personal Development Plan with budgetary support.
25 days annual leave plus an extra day off for your birthday.
Seismic is an equal opportunities employer
Seismic recruits, employs, trains, compensates and promotes regardless of race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, disability or age. We are building a world class team and we know we need a diverse mix of talented people doing their best work.
