You will become part of a dedicated team of approximately 30 professionals with various backgrounds, from strategy and policy to reporting and assurance. We work multidisciplinarily, learn a lot from each other, and combine sharp content with a pragmatic approach. This is how we help organizations to conduct business responsibly and translate sustainability ambitions into visible impact. As a colleague describes it: “What I find strong about our team is that we challenge each other substantively and are always willing to go the extra mile together for societal impact.”

  • Leading project teams and contributing to the further growth of our sustainability practice, with a clear focus on the public sector portfolio.
  • Developing and positioning our sustainability Public Sector proposition, including through knowledge development, market insights, and network building.
  • Identifying opportunities, conducting acquisition meetings, and contributing to sharp, persuasive proposals.
  • Acting as a trusted point of contact for clients and stakeholders, with an eye for progress, quality, and connection.
