About Us
Our client is a specialist sustainability and human rights advisory firm, working with some of the world's leading organisations to build more ethical, resilient, and responsible supply chains. They partner with global brands, Chief Sustainability Officers, and senior leadership teams to tackle complex challenges across human rights, labour standards, responsible sourcing, gender equality, and sustainable business practices. Their work helps organisations navigate evolving legislation, strengthen supply chains, and create meaningful, lasting change.
As the business continues to grow, they are looking for an ambitious, organised, and intellectually curious Sustainability Analyst & Business Operations Associate to join the team.
About the Role

Alongside this, you'll provide business operations and executive support to the Founder and senior leadership team, helping keep projects, meetings, and priorities running smoothly. You'll be researching new Human Rights Due Diligence legislation one morning, preparing a client presentation in the afternoon, and coordinating meetings with international clients before the day ends.

- Produce research summaries, briefing papers, and client insights.
- Support sustainability projects through high-quality research and analysis.
