Carbon Advisory - Manager - Carbon accounting
We're BDO. An accountancy and business advisory firm, providing the advice and solutions entrepreneurial organisations need to navigate today's changing world.
We work with the companies that are Britain's economic engine - ambitious, entrepreneurially-spirited and high growth businesses that fuel the economy - and directly advise the owners and management teams that lead them.
We'll help you succeed
Leading organisations trust us because of the quality of our advice. That quality grows from a thorough understanding of their business, and that understanding comes from working closely with them and building long-lasting relationships.
You'll be someone who is both comfortable working proactively and managing your own tasks, as well as confident collaborating with others and communicating regularly with senior managers, directors, and BDO's partners to help businesses effectively. You'll be encouraged to identify and draw attention to opportunities for enhancing our delivery and providing additional services to organisations we work with.
We are seeking an experienced carbon and climate practitioner to join the Sustainability Consulting team within BDO UK's Consulting Practice. The role will involve leading complex client assignments in the fields of carbon measurement and reporting, decarbonisation and net zero transition; as well as supporting with business development and learning & development (L&D) activities to upskill colleagues and build capacity across the firm.
A demonstrable track-record of successful delivery is required, including project management, quantifying scope 1-3 emissions, and either carbon reduction planning or climate risk assessment. A thorough understanding of carbon accounting standards, particularly the GHG Protocol, and awareness of greenhouse gas reporting legislation is essential. Experience of ESG data management systems and people management experience are desirable.
The role can be based in London, Bristol, Birmingham, Leeds or Manchester.
The successful candidate will:
* Be purpose-driven, seeking to deliver positive societal impact through their work
* Enjoy working collaboratively in a fast-paced dynamic environment
* Be comfortable with ambiguity and highly adaptable, seeking solutions to complex challenges sometimes using innovative approaches
* Be client-focussed, helping to deliver high quality work to help our clients succeed
* Have a high level of personal organisation and motivation
* Be able to leverage stakeholder relationships to deliver high quality, superior results
* Be able to both think strategically and have an eye for detail
* Have a talent for explaining complex technical information in non-technical terms.
* Expertise in developing focused carbon reduction strategies, plans, roadmaps, and initiatives for organisations.
* Competence in assessing and managing climate-related risk/opportunity and developing TCFD-aligned disclosures.
* Knowledge of carbon pricing and carbon markets.
* Skills in people management.
