Overview

Sweep is hiring a Senior Platform & Sustainability Expert, playing an important role in how Sweep helps organisations across the world navigate their sustainability journey.

Working as part of our Customer Engineering team and alongside our Delivery team, you will bring strong sustainability knowledge to the moments that matter most; sharpening the advice our teams can give, strengthening the confidence of our customers, and helping our customers move further, faster on their sustainability programmes.

This role sits at the heart of Sweep’s customer-facing organisation, collaborating closely with Delivery, Sales, Customer Success, Product, and Support teams. You will act as a multiplier: someone whose knowledge, curiosity, and judgment helps elevate the work of those around them. You will work with a diverse range of customers; from those just beginning their sustainability journey to those with established programmes and specialist teams in place. In all cases, your role is to meet them where they are: providing practical sustainability guidance and reassurance that helps them move forward with confidence.

This is a strong opportunity for someone who has built solid sustainability expertise and is ready to apply it in a more varied, scalable, and technology-enabled environment. You will contribute your expertise internally, engage credibly with customers’ ESG teams, and play an active part in how Sweep continues to evolve its customer experience, content, and product offering.
