The role
The Opportunity
Given is the agency for purpose-driven businesses and brands. Everything that we do is about making businesses and brands a force for good - helping create positive change for people, communities and the world. Working with ambitious clients on brand purpose and sustainable business strategies we are seeing the demand for the support that we can offer and grow exponentially.
As examples of the types of work you would be involved in, in the last few months we have been:
· Developing the sustainability strategy for a leading healthcare company
· Helping one of the UK’s leading coffee companies tell its sustainability story
· Sparking new thinking on inclusive healthcare at a global consumer health company
· Creating a sustainability strategy and three-year roadmap for an international flower delivery company
· Working on a social impact strategy for a group of family care brands
As we head into the next chapter of growth for our business we are looking for a passionate, smart and imaginative senior strategic consultant, with a depth of experience in delivering sustainability projects to join our strategy team. We offer great benefits, a collaborative and creative, ideas-based environment, impactful and meaningful work, brilliant career opportunities, and the chance to work with some of the biggest and best businesses & brands in the world.
The role
We are looking for someone with practical experience, sustainability knowledge and thought leadership credentials, who can bring a clear point of view on current and emerging sustainability and social impact topics and provide clear strategic advice to our clients about the strategic choices they need to make. We need someone who can draw on their experience and knowledge to talk expansively and credibly about sustainability and social impact with the passion and behaviours to inspire teams, colleagues and clients.
This role will see you leading projects, running workshops, uncovering disruptive insights, engaging leaders and helping them to make clear strategic choices and also disruptive creative ideas for their business and brand. You will play a prominent role on our sustainability and social impact projects specifically, but as we are a dynamic and nimble agency with a fast-moving ideas culture, you will need to be comfortable stretching your skills and expertise across the full range of services that we offer across the definition, embedding and activation of purpose within businesses and brands.
You'll need to feel comfortable working on lots of different challenges at any one time. You might, for example be helping a client identify their overall sustainability strategy, setting related goals and targets and defining a roadmap of actions required to achieve these targets, or helping to embed broader purpose into a company culture and decision-making or playing a role in developing internal and external (customer-facing) communications, brand strategy or innovation.
As a senior sustainability strategy consultant you will need to have played a role and be comfortable with taking the lead on large client briefs, working closely with members of our Senior Leadership Team, Directors and Associate Directors with responsibility for setting the direction of the project, leading the thinking and having oversight of junior colleagues. We're a growing team, and we nurture our own talent, which means there’s scope to grow into a leadership position on the team if that’s what you’re after.
