Founder & Director at Sustainable Futures Group | SFG - Providing specialist recruitment solutions globally within Sustainability, ESG & HSE…
Ready to lead and grow a sustainability function at the heart of the built environment?
Sustainable Futures Group (SFG) is working with a well-established, multi-disciplinary consultancy to recruit a Head of Sustainability – a commercially focused leadership role driving both technical excellence and business growth across a broad range of sustainability services.
Based in London with hybrid working (3 days office, 2 days WFH), this is a rare opportunity to step into a senior role with full responsibility for team performance, service development, and strategic direction – all while working alongside experts in architecture, MEP, project management and surveying.
Why this role?
This is a leadership role with real autonomy – managing a multi-skilled team delivering retrofit consultancy, BREEAM, lifecycle carbon, ESG strategies, and planning support. The consultancy has a strong reputation in the public sector, and the sustainability team is seen as a key growth driver for the future.
You’ll lead the function as a standalone business unit, supported by board-level leadership but trusted to make the technical and commercial decisions. It’s ideal for someone who thrives on ownership and visibility – and wants to take a team and service offering to the next level.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Leading and managing a multi-disciplinary sustainability team across energy, carbon, planning, retrofit and certification services (such as BREEAM)
* Taking ownership of service line performance, client relationships, bids, and commercial delivery
* Overseeing technical quality and acting as third signatory on all key outputs
* Growing the sustainability offering through market insight, business development and cross-discipline collaboration
* Representing the team internally and externally at events, forums and with clients
* Supporting the wider business with internal ESG reporting and carbon planning initiatives
What We’re Looking For
* Strong consultancy background with experience leading sustainability services in the built environment
* Postgraduate degree in sustainability or related subject – desirable
* Experience managing a team and running a business unit or cost centre
* Confident communicator, able to win work, pitch to clients and represent the company externally
* Technically credible across key UK sustainability frameworks including PAS 2035/2038, lifecycle assessment, and BREEAM
What’s on Offer
* Salary in the region of £85,000 – £100,000 depending on experience
* Performance-related bonus
* Company pension scheme
* Flexible hybrid working model
* Clear pathway to Director-level position for the right candidate
* Full autonomy to lead, shape and grow your team and service line
This isn’t just another consultancy role - it’s a chance to lead from the front, define your career trajectory, and make a real impact in a growing, strategically important team.
