We have material growth plans for our business which, alongside investment in key transformation projects, will deliver our ambitious strategic plans over the medium term and will extend on finance solutions to incorporate non finance solutions, ie Sustainability reporting.

Identifying and recruiting the right sustainability expert can be extremely challenging due to the ever changing requirements, limited experienced resource pool and high salary needs to land good candidates. To help clients in our chosen sectors navigate this necessity in a timely and cost efficient manner, we require three Senior Managers - Managers to proactively lead client relationships for between three to four clients each to support them in reaching their Sustainability needs.
