Now Hiring: Sustainability Executive! 

​

CAFA is a UK headquartered, internationally recognised climate NGO. Our mission is to speed up industry and business transition, and we do that by working with the trade associations and professional bodies that set the standards for entire sectors.

​

Because our work touches all industries, no one day is the same. It makes this role uniquely varied and incredibly interesting. It splits across two connected strands. The first is technical: carbon footprinting and the delivery of CAFA's sustainability services, learning on the job alongside our Sustainability Director. The second is editorial: writing content and developing the resources that help people understand what is changing and act on it. Alongside both, you'll oversee a range of day to day relationships.

​

This is a key role in a small, tight knit team, so there is real ownership early and scope to grow fast. It is not for the faint hearted. It asks for ambition, dedication, a strong work ethic, can do energy and an entrepreneurial approach.

​

Full time, permanent, remote (UK-based). Salary in line with experience, starting from £26,500 plus annual performance related bonus. Ideally 2+ years' experience and the right to work in the UK.
