Head of ESG

We are looking for a hands-on, practical leader responsible for defining and implementing group.one’s ESG strategy globally, and positioning group.one as an ESG leader in our sector.

You will create an effective, coherent sustainability strategy that translates business objectives into tangible actions. You will work tenaciously, proactively and collaboratively to create alignment on data requirements across the group, pulling together disparate information in a dynamic and fast moving environment. You will be responsible for ensuring all reporting and assessment of ESG performance relative to the company's goals, as well as compliance with the relevant regulatory standards.

Comfortable with ambiguity, you thrive in complex, fast-paced tech businesses going through periods of significant change. You will be able to influence across the organisation as a trusted partner to senior executive, board and investor stakeholders, ensuring engagement and alignment all across the organisation. You will be relentlessly data focused, number oriented, and with a real eye for detail and problem solving, while being able to take a step back and look strategically at the holistic picture. First and foremost, you are a doer: proactive and resilient, you get things done.
