- Leading service development and process improvement within our communications service line to ensure our work remains high quality, impact and outcome focused, and in line with the needs of our clients.
- Helping clients navigate the complex landscape of sustainability communications, ensuring their narratives are ambitious, evidence-based, and transparent.

About you
You believe that humanity and businesses need to make a seismic shift in the right direction and want to apply your communications capabilities to help make that happen. At the same time you want to work in a friendly, collaborative and empathetic team who are delivering impactful projects for high-profile clients. You will especially enjoy working at Seismic if you have a growth mindset and are comfortable with uncertainty, as we are a fast-growing, agile and evolving business.
To be successful in this role you would need the following attributes:
- Extensive experience in sustainability communications within an agency or high-growth corporate environment, with a track record of leading complex projects.
- Proven ability to manage and mentor teams, driving both professional growth and high-quality project outcomes.
- You are passionate about impact.
- Commercial drive and natural ability to identify and develop solutions to client challenges.
- You are a master copywriter who can distill complex information into engaging content, and understand how to project manage a design process
- Experience of helping organisations deliver communications across sustainability topics (e.g., B Corp, Net Zero, DEI) is essential, and experience of any ESG reporting frameworks (e.g. GRI) would be advantageous.
Importantly, you love client work and also working with teammates to build something great. You like a laugh but are not afraid to graft. You have plenty to offer, and know you have even more to learn.
You are proactive, have a keen eye for detail and enjoy juggling multiple projects and priorities and enjoy just the right amount of time pressure to help keep productive and focused. You are a ‘people person’ with a knack for building relationships.
You are more excited by the opportunities of working for a young, fast growing, ever evolving, purpose-driven business than for a large corporate.
You are excited by the opportunity of joining a high-performance team within a fast-growing, ever-evolving, purpose-driven business.
Location
Ideally you will be within commuting distance of our London office, attending the office (Waterloo) at least twice per week.
