We're working with an established international consultancy expanding into the UK. The business specialises in sustainability and ESG advisory, supporting organisations with everything from regulatory compliance to full sustainability strategy and implementation.
They are now looking to appoint a freelance Business Development Manager to develop the UK market.
What You’ll Be Selling
You will represent a full-service sustainability consultancy, offering practical, revenue-linked solutions to businesses under increasing pressure to meet ESG and regulatory requirements.
The service is not theoretical consulting, it is hands-on, commercially relevant support that companies are actively buying.
Core areas include:
- ESG & sustainability strategy - helping companies define and implement practical sustainability roadmaps
- Regulatory compliance (e.g. CSRD) - guiding organisations through complex reporting requirements
- EcoVadis & B Corp support - improving ratings and achieving certifications that directly impact sales and tenders
- Net zero & decarbonisation - carbon measurement, target setting, and reduction strategies
- Supply chain & supplier engagement - helping businesses manage risk and meet sustainability expectations across their operations
- Outsourced sustainability management - acting as an embedded sustainability function for clients
