About the Role A growing organisation is seeking a detail-focused and proactive Corporate ESG Reporting Manager to support and develop its ESG reporting function. The successful candidate will have a strong grasp of ESG frameworks, excellent data and analytical skills, and the confidence to work with stakeholders across multiple business areas. Overview The role sits within a corporate ESG team and will focus on producing high-quality ESG disclosures for a large, international professional services business. This position plays a key part in ensuring that reporting is accurate, transparent, and delivered in line with both voluntary ESG standards and upcoming regulatory requirements. Key Responsibilities Lead the planning, delivery, and ongoing improvement of ESG disclosures in line with voluntary and mandatory frameworks (such as GRI, CDP, TCFD, ISSB/IFRS, CSRD, and SECR). Oversee the development, implementation, and management of ESG data systems, working closely with internal functions to ensure systems are robust and scalable. Manage the full data lifecycle, from gathering and validation through to analysis and assurance, in coordination with teams such as Finance, Operations, and HR. Provide guidance on carbon management and emissions reduction, embedding climate and carbon tracking into core reporting processes and aligning with organisational net-zero targets. Support the production of public-facing sustainability materials, including annual ESG reports, climate disclosures, and other communications. Monitor changes in ESG regulation and wider market expectations to advise on disclosure readiness and areas for improvement. Act as the primary contact for external ESG ratings agencies and disclosure platforms (e.g., CDP, EcoVadis, Sustainalytics) and coordinate external assurance activities. Line-manage one ESG team member, offering day-to-day support, development, and oversight of their involvement across reporting workstreams. Contribute to internal communications and training to improve awareness of ESG data requirements, progress against targets, and reporting outcomes. What the Role Involves This role is both hands-on and strategic. It includes coordinating cross-business data collection, managing ESG systems, and supporting the integration of climate strategy and carbon-reduction goals into wider disclosures. The position will also contribute to shaping and delivering a global net-zero strategy aligned with science-based targets. Required Experience 5-7 years' experience in ESG reporting or broader sustainability roles, ideally within professional services or a built-environment related sector. Strong experience delivering ESG disclosures aligned to major voluntary and regulatory frameworks (e.g., GRI, TCFD, ISSB, CSRD, SECR). Solid knowledge of carbon and energy management, climate reporting, Scope 1-3 emissions, net-zero strategies, the GHG Protocol, and SBTi alignment. Experience implementing or working with ESG data platforms or digital reporting tools (e.g., Sphera, Microsoft Sustainability Manager). Excellent project-management ability, with experience coordinating complex processes across teams and regions. Confident communicator with the ability to present ESG insights clearly to senior stakeholders and non-technical audiences. Previous experience managing or mentoring staff. Strong skills in Excel, PowerPoint, and data visualisation tools (e.g., Power BI); experience with external data assurance is beneficial. Degree in Sustainability, Environmental Science, Business, or a related field; further qualifications or ESG-specific certifications (e.g., GRI, FSA, CFA ESG) are advantageous.
