JOB DETAILS:
ESG Senior Manager

The Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Senior Manager will report to the Director of Corporate Finance & Strategy and work closely with the Global Chief Operating Officer, and team leads across the business. They will provide regular reporting to the Senior Leadership Team, Board of Directors and Investors. The ESG Senior Manager will oversee the ESG Specialist, and there will be opportunities to recruit additional team members and engage consultants to plug skills and capacity gaps, as required.

Instead, the ESG Senior Manager is expected to focus on (1) systems design and implementation, (2) ESG strategy and direction, (3) investor relations and stakeholder management and (4) achieving and maintaining sustainability certifications (FSC, Verra CCB, etc.).

• Environmental and Social Action Plan (“ESAP”) - responsible for delivering on ESG initiatives agreed upon with investors through the ESAP, including achieving FSC certification, completing an E&S baseline study (with support from consultants) and others.

What you have
• Either 5+ years working in ESG or similar fields (carbon, impact and M&E, etc.) with strong experience of IFC Performance Standards, or a more experienced hire with complementary skills and a demonstrated interest in the area.
