Junior Sustainability Consultant (x2)

Good Business is a market-leading sustainability agency and a certified B Corporation. We help businesses and brands succeed in the future by embracing transformational change. We have over 25 years’ experience of working with clients to deliver sustainability services, behaviour change and social impact programmes, and climate advice making us pioneers of the power of good.

We are looking for two Junior Sustainability Consultants to join our team based in our London office.

Please note that one position will be a generalist role, supporting a range of projects across the business. The second position will be for someone who is comfortable working with data, and supporting social research and climate change projects as well as other projects across the business. You will be able to indicate whether you would like to be considered for the generalist position, the data position, or both, on the BeApplied platform when you complete your submission. If you would like to be considered for the data role, you will be invited to take part in an additional stage to complete an Excel-based task.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to help businesses, brands, government and NGOs tackle some of the biggest social and environmental challenges of our time.

Our clients, who include Aviva, VMO2, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, NatWest Group, and Avon, as well as social enterprises, charities, foundations, local authorities and start-ups, look to us to help them answer their questions.

We have a relaxed and collaborative office culture and, although our outputs are professional, our structure and approach is far from corporate or conventional. Our team is passionate, thoughtful and opinionated, with experience from a variety of industries, such as advertising, hospitality, public sector, non-profit and research.

We are looking for someone who:

• has a proven interest in business, international development and social and environmental issues
• has strong written, verbal, analytical and communication skills
• has strong organisational skills, attention to detail and ability to multi-task
• is fully competent in MS Office applications including MS Word, Powerpoint
• has strong data analysis skills with the ability to manipulate large data sets in Excel and draw out key insights (specifically for the data position)
• has experience using data visualisation tools (specifically for the data position)
• is cheerful, flexible and adaptable

Start date: By early October 2024

Please note that you must have the right to live and work in the UK.

All applications should be made through BeApplied website. Please do not send CVs or covering letters to the Good Business team. Each task is randomised and blind-assessed, and reflects a specific skill that we are looking for as part of this role. Shortlisted candidates may be asked to complete a test assessing data analysis skills and successful candidates will be invited to interview during August, with the first round of interviews conducted on Teams. These dates are subject to change.

Please note that if we receive a large number of applications, we may choose to screen candidates by prioritising one of the three tasks to score in the first instance, and only reviewing the submissions of the highest scoring candidates for the other two tasks.
