Beschreibung
Job Family:
Sustainability Consulting
Travel Required:
Clearance Required:
Are you interested in working with exceptional people in a high-performing team environment with some of the world's largest corporations and leading governments to help solve and address some of society's most complex sustainability and climate-related impacts, risks, and opportunities?
We are Guidehouse, a leading multinational and multi-disciplinary consulting firm serving the public sector and commercial clients with specialized capabilities in strategy, technology, and risk management. You may not know our name yet, but we have a rich history. Guidehouse is a combination of PwC's former US public sector practice and Navigant's deep expertise in energy, sustainability, financial services, and healthcare. We are proud of our sustainability advisory heritage, being one of the very first consultancies focused on sustainability and climate change (as Ecofys) and delivering impact on developing policy, regulation, and global methodologies, such as SBTi, PCAF, Supplier LoCT and Fashion PACT.
Being a $5.3bn private equity-backed firm, we have experienced rapid growth and our investors continue pursuing exciting exponential growth ambitions. This ongoing investment creates opportunities for our people to develop and gain multi-disciplinary exposure within a culture of entrepreneurship, creativity, and collaboration between our global practices.
We offer an exciting, fast-paced environment that fosters intellectual growth and rewards individuals based on impact, not tenure. We focus on markets facing transformational change, technology-driven innovation, and significant regulatory pressure. Our consultants develop and deploy world-class knowledge and problem solving that leads to breakthrough solutions.
What You Will Do:
Our Sustainability team works with companies and government agencies to achieve sustainability, including deep decarbonization, climate resilience and positive social impact. We help clients navigate the complex world of climate change, sustainability regulation, shifting consumer preferences, and the energy transition to achieve sustainable and profitable products, processes, business models, and services. We apply and advise on leading frameworks such as Science-Based and Net-Zero Targets, CSRD, TNFD, TCFD, and create innovative digital, programmatic, and financial solutions with our clients. Our team works with all Guidehouse's segments, including financial services, energy providers, life sciences, and government.
What You Will Need:
You combine a strong drive to deliver client results with analytical skills and a passion for and understanding of sustainability issues and/or decarbonization and climate change.
What Would Be Nice To Have:
Benefits
** Please note that this job posting is for a proposal of a potential client and is not reflective of an awarded job. In addition, we are only collecting resumes and interviewing based off the skillset and qualifications listed. ***
What We Offer:
Guidehouse offers a comprehensive, total rewards package that includes competitive compensation and a flexible benefits package that reflects our commitment to creating a diverse and supportive workplace.
