Sustainability Director - Climate Tech

Job Description

Director level role in this exciting climate-tech scale-up helping businesses navigate the transition to a low-carbon economy, delivering practical solutions and measurable ESG impact. From SMEs to large enterprises, they pair science-led expertise with cutting-edge technology to help their clients make real progress on net-zero goals and ESG compliance.

For their next stage of growth, they’re looking for a Director to take a leadership role in their growing team. This is a fantastic opportunity to guide a talented group of consultants and carbon accountants while helping businesses develop and implement strategies that create lasting value.

In this role, you’ll act as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, including C-suite executives and investors. You’ll manage high-impact client projects, develop further carbon and ESG services, and contribute to the company’s ongoing growth. A key part of your role will also involve collaborating on sustainability technology, helping to scale its impact and ensure it aligns with emerging frameworks like TCFD, SECR, CSRD, and SFDR.

Beyond project work, you’ll have the chance to shape team culture—championing collaboration, inclusivity, and professional development to build a high-performing, motivated group.

We are looking for an experienced sustainability consultant with a solid understanding of carbon accounting and reporting frameworks, experience of running and growing a team and managing senior stakeholders externally. This would be an ideal role for someone transitioning from a sustainability consultancy in a managerial position.

They offer a dynamic, purpose-driven environment where your work will make a real difference. As a fast-growing scale-up, they provide the opportunity to lead meaningful change while advancing your own career. You’ll enjoy hybrid working, with two days from home and offices in Harrogate/Leeds and London Moorgate. Some UK-wide and occasional international travel will be part of the role.

If you’re an experienced sustainability consultant, passionate about carbon accounting, ESG, and making a measurable impact, this could be your next step.
