Job Description
Would you like to join an innovative tech business that’s on a mission to tackle climate change by accelerating the transition to low carbon?
Manufacture 2030 is looking for an experienced consultant to lead new projects that help organisations tackle their scope 3 emissions.
As Manufacture 2030’s Principal Consultant, you will be responsible for identifying, scoping, costing, selling, and overseeing new carbon and environmental impact reduction projects, programs and partnerships within the supply chains of Manufacture 2030’s clients. This is a new role that is well positioned to have a major impact on carbon reduction for some of the world’s biggest brands.
About Manufacture 2030
Manufacture 2030 is a fast growth purpose-led company accelerating global progress towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We provide companies of all sizes with the certainty they need to hit GHG emissions reduction targets, be it a global corporation or an SME within their supply chain. Our unique software platform and support services help measure, manage and reduce environmental impact in line with the latest climate science at a global scale. We give our clients in the pharmaceutical, chemical, retail, automotive and fast-moving consumer goods sectors the confidence to hit their carbon reduction targets, while offering their suppliers the opportunity to enhance their operational efficiency, procure more sustainably and drive down costs.
We have a track record of pioneering new ways to spread sustainable practices across manufacturing supply chains around the world. We partnered with global brands and worked with thousands of their manufacturing suppliers, down to the plant level, to reduce environmental impact. Not everything we have tried has worked, but a lot has. And we made it our mission to learn even more. Four years ago we brought all the best bits together and launched Manufacture 2030. Our name was specifically chosen to align with the Sustainable Development Goals, intended to be achieved by 2030 and defined as ‘the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.’ We are a purpose-driven and dedicated team of genuinely nice people who love what they do. We all share one common value – the determination to reduce global impacts on our environment and support our clients’ carbon reduction targets.
Main responsibilities:
- You will participate in client workshops, meetings and calls; reviewing client and supplier data; and generally conducting research to identify opportunities for innovation.
- You will identify pain points for our clients and carbon hotpots in different sectors. It will then be your role to scope and propose partnership solutions and once approved, to bring them to fruition.
- You will sit on the Product Team leadership group, together with the Head of Product – Climate Software, Head of Carbon, & Head of Product – Climate Program, reporting to the Chief Product Officer. This group is charged with steering the ongoing development of M2030’s product offer.
- The role will include a mix of delivery and business development activities, and will be responsible for the project management of any new programs or projects (including oversight of budgets, timelines and resource management).
Candidate profile:
We are specifically looking for someone who can bring consultancy skills to this challenge – for example, the ability to listen and discuss client needs, to identify pain points and opportunities, and qualify the value of solving them.
You will likely have a track record of scoping and delivering successful programs and projects in a previous role, including successfully costing and selling new projects or programs to colleagues and clients. You can demonstrate excellent relationship management skills with the ability to communicate technical concepts to a non-technical audience, as well as the ability to hold senior level conversations. You like problem solving and have a positive attitude.
You will bring technical experience of carbon accounting; supply chain sustainability; and/or environmental management, with subject matter expertise in carbon foot printing; life cycle analysis; supply chain sustainability; environmental/energy management; or ESG.
We’re looking for 7+ years of experience in consultancy or analytical roles, focusing on carbon, or environmental management. Some knowledge of one of our sector areas would also be an advantage: Automotive; Pharmaceutical; Chemical; Retail or Fast-moving-consumer-goods (FMCG).
