Carbon Consultant

What we are looking for

A Carbon Consultant with experience of carbon reporting and target setting who can support our clients on their journey to net zero emissions.

About us

Here at Seismic we have a two-part vision: to help 10 million people join the shift by 2030 and to be the best place we have ever worked.

We know that's an ambitious vision. That means challenging ourselves and our clients every day, striving for growth, and delivering real impact.

We foster a culture of continuous learning and mutual support, ensuring every changemaker feels empowered to grow and contribute their best.

We are not just talking about change; we are actively driving it. We ourselves are a B Corp and our team of B Corp, Net Zero, Reporting and Sustainability Comms experts collaborates to deliver measurable impact for clients ranging from innovative SMEs to global corporations. You can read some of their stories here.

We're a close-knit team, working together towards a shared vision. All that's missing is you!

The role and its responsibilities

The exact role definition will be dependent on the desire, capability and experiences of the right person. Key responsibilities are likely to include:

• Supporting the strategy, growth and delivery of our Carbon Services, including Scope 1-3 Carbon Footprints, SECR, CDP, Life Cycle Assessments, Net Zero Pathways, Environmental Management System and SBTi.
• Proven track record leading the delivery and overall project management of core carbon services like Scope 1 - 3 Carbon Footprint
• Proactively identifying prospective client leads, then designing and selling projects with our Impact Development team, to help our clients utilize our expertise to achieve their sustainability goals
• Delivering a high quality service, within budget, that enables long term impact.
• Contributing to process improvement and optimisation within the Carbon Services and the wider teams
• Building strong and lasting relationships with colleagues, clients and our wider community
• Identifying needs that the clients may not recognise and ensuring approaches and solutions are linked to objectives and future needs

About you

You believe that humanity and businesses need to make a seismic shift in the right direction and want to apply your consulting and analytical capabilities to help make that happen. At the same time you want to work in a friendly, collaborative and empathetic team who are delivering impactful projects for high-profile clients. You will especially enjoy working at Seismic if you have a growth mindset and are comfortable with uncertainty, as we are a fast-growing, agile and evolving business.

To be successful in this role you would need the following attributes:

• Very confident processing and transforming data and genuinely enjoys analysis
• Proficient using advanced data analysis functions within MS Excel and Google Sheets. Data analysis skills using other systems (e.g. Python and PowerBI) are preferable not essential
• Strong understanding with the GHG protocol and working knowledge of SBT methodology
• Experience leading Scope 1-3 projects
• Confident and competent consulting skills, including building client relationships, project management, report writing, presenting, and ultimately enabling client success.

Scope 3 calculation experience is required. Additional areas of experience which would also be of interest include carbon reduction pathway modelling and embodied carbon and life cycle impact exposure.

Importantly, you love client work and also working with teammates to build something great. You like a laugh but are not afraid to graft. You have plenty to offer, and know you have even more to learn.

You are proactive, have a keen eye for detail and enjoy juggling multiple projects and priorities and enjoy just the right amount of time pressure to help keep productive and focused. You are a "people person" with a knack for building relationships.

You are more excited by the opportunities of working for a young, fast growing, ever evolving, purpose-driven business than for a large corporate.
