Reports to: <\/strong>Business Unit Lead – Sustainable and Ethical Procurement<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Edge:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Australia\u2019s largest independent sustainability consultancy and a certified B-Corp, we exist to help our clients tackle some of world\u2019s toughest challenges. We do this by combining science, strategy and storytelling in a way that gives our clients the confidence to take real action and do well by doing good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Established in 2008, our rapidly growing team operates across Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne (with plans to expand globally soon). We work with private and ASX-listed businesses, multiple levels of government, NGOs and purposeful start-ups to develop sustainability solutions at all scales from products to cities and regions and global brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020, Edge established a new team, Sustainable & Ethical Procurement, to help our clients understand their social and environmental impact across their supply chains and to further embed sustainability into their procurement, governance, and operational practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Role:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This senior role will be responsible for delivering a variety of environmental and social sustainability topics relating to an organisation\u2019s biggest impact, its supply chain.

The role requires a broad understanding of sustainability issues and an ability to engage with diverse stakeholders within an organisation so to understand their unique challenges and to identify and implement solutions. Typically, projects will undertake a hotspot analysis (with support from the Life Cycle Analysis team) which helps organisations address issues such as modern slavery, circular economy and\/or carbon impact, while using ISO20400 Sustainable Procurement as a best practice framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The role, reporting to the Head of Sustainable and Ethical Procurement, is for an experienced professional to lead client projects, develop new client relationships and focus on procurement deliverables for diverse clients. The work is fast-paced, highly varied and provides a unique opportunity for the right person to make a difference to the sustainability landscape in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Communications \u2013 strong report writing skills and ability to communicate complex information. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    • Have a broad understanding of environmental and social sustainability including key trends, best practices and challenges and opportunities for change.<\/li>

      What this role can offer:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
