- Workshops & Engagement – Assist in the design and delivery of client workshops, training sessions, and stakeholder engagement processes.
- Project Support – Coordinate tasks, manage research streams, and help deliver high-quality client outputs.
What we’re looking for
- Strong research and analytical skills, with an ability to turn complex data into clear insights.
- A degree (or equivalent experience) in sustainability, human rights, law, business, environmental science, international development, or a related field.
- Knowledge (or strong interest in developing expertise) in ESG frameworks and human rights standards (GRI, ISSB, TCFD, UNGPs, OECD).
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to prepare reports and briefing notes.
A collaborative mindset — you thrive in team settings and enjoy problem-solving with others. - Curiosity, adaptability, and a proactive attitude — ready to grow your skills in a fast-moving field.
