- Keep on top of evolving ESG regulations and help shape smart, compliant responses
- Lead a small team, fostering collaboration and growth
What We’re Looking For

- Deep understanding of ESG frameworks, regulations, and best practice, ideally in a publicly listed company environment
- Strong stakeholder engagement skills, especially at senior and external levels
- Confident presenter and communicator
- Experience managing and developing a team
Why this role?
This is a high-impact role where you’ll be steering the ESG agenda for a major UK retail group. You’ll work alongside brilliant colleagues, lead meaningful initiatives, and have the freedom to bring your own ideas to the table, all while keeping the business compliant, credible, and ahead of the curve.
If you’re a collaborative, strategic thinker who thrives on turning sustainability ambitions into measurable results, this could be a great fit. Please reach out to Jesse Harford at jesse.harford@acre.com or apply below to find out more.
