The Global Purpose & Sustainability team is seeking a Manager to support Deloitte's Net-Zero by 2040 ambition across the global network who will lead and coordinate decarbonization projects with a particular focus on Deloitte's upstream emissions from its supply chain, while also supporting the development and implementation of climate and environmental risk management activities.

• Experience in sustainability, decarbonization, climate risk, environmental management or a closely related field, with working knowledge of greenhouse gas emissions, net-zero strategies and the principal sources of emissions associated with the professional services sector and supply chains.
• Understanding of climate-related risks and experience supporting risk identification, assessment, mitigation, monitoring or reporting activities.
• Strong project management capabilities, including planning, governance, risk and issue management, dependency management, stakeholder coordination and performance reporting, with the ability to translate strategic objectives into practical workplans and defined deliverables, manage multiple priorities and maintain delivery momentum in an evolving environment.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to structure complex issues, evaluate options and develop clear recommendations.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to prepare concise materials for senior stakeholders, and to build trusted relationships and work effectively across geographies and areas of technical expertise.

This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm).
