Overview

Carbon reporting has moved from nice-to-have to business-critical — and organisations facing complex, high-profile compliance obligations need advisers they can genuinely trust. At Enistic, that’s exactly the work we do. We’re looking for an experienced, commercially confident Senior Sustainability Consultant to lead our most demanding client engagements from brief to boardroom.

What you’ll be doing

This is a senior, client-facing role for someone who’s as comfortable producing rigorous technical analysis as they are presenting recommendations to a board. You’ll:

  • Lead senior carbon and compliance programmes — ESOS, SBTi, IFRS S1 & S2, TCFD, CRFD, CBAM and related frameworks — from start to finish
  • Act as the primary relationship holder for senior client contacts, including C-suite and board members
  • Represent Enistic in new business conversations and pitches alongside our commercial team
  • Produce GHG inventories, compliance reports and strategic roadmaps to a standard fit for regulatory submission and board scrutiny
  • Translate complex technical and regulatory requirements into clear, actionable advice
  • Conduct detailed energy analysis and Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions calculations
  • Provide quality oversight and mentoring to more junior colleagues, and help shape how we grow the practice

What we’re looking for

This isn’t an early-career role — we’re after someone with a substantial track record in sustainability, carbon or energy consultancy. You’ll bring:

  • Demonstrated experience leading high-stakes programmes (SBTi, TCFD, IFRS S1 & S2, CRFD, CBAM or similar)
  • Real credibility presenting to boards, senior management and C-suite audiences — for delivery and for winning work
  • Strong working knowledge of GHG reporting frameworks (GHG Protocol, Scope 1, 2 & 3)
  • Excellent stakeholder management skills — presence and persuasiveness, not just technical accuracy
  • Strong numerical literacy and proficiency with data analysis tools (Excel or equivalent)
  • The ability to manage multiple senior projects independently

Nice to have: international or cross-border regulatory experience (CBAM, EU Taxonomy, CSRD), a relevant degree, professional membership (IEMA, CEnv, CFA ESG), or experience with carbon accounting software.

What’s in it for you

  • Salary of £42,000 – £50,000 depending on experience, plus potential annual profit-related bonuses at the company’s discretion.
  • 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays, with enhanced entitlement for length of service
  • Your birthday off, plus charity/volunteering leave
  • Hybrid working — up to 2 days a week from home after probation
  • On-site parking at our Oxford office, company events throughout the year, a pension scheme and continuous CPD support

You’ll join a specialist advisory team of around 15 people who take real pride in the quality and integrity of their work, with a strong culture of technical rigour and collaborative peer review.
