🧑🏻‍💻 About the role

First things first: you want to know what you’re actually applying for. It’s impossible to capture every nuance of a role – especially at a rapidly growing company like Mews – but if we had to distill it down to a job description (which we do because this is a job description), it would be this:

You’ll be the functional lead for ESG at Mews, turning evolving sustainability requirements into clear policies, reliable data, and audit-ready documentation that the business can actually use – all in service of our belief that ESG should be a value-creating, business-enabling pillar, not just a compliance checkbox.

✅ Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

Own and connect key ESG workstreams such as carbon footprinting, policy development, external ratings, disclosures, and audit preparation.

Build simple, usable systems for ESG evidence and reporting, so non-experts can self-serve while we stay compliant and audit-ready.

Partner across People, Legal, Finance, Strategy, and Operations to make sure our ESG approach fits how Mews actually operates, not just what the regulations say on paper.

Shape and iterate the ESG roadmap, translating high-level goals into concrete initiatives, milestones, and metrics that the business can rally behind.

Tell a clear ESG story to internal and external audiences, connecting our data, policies, and actions into narratives that resonate with customers, partners, and investors.

🤝️ You’ll be a great fit if you bring a few of the below with you:

Proven experience independently delivering complex ESG, sustainability, or regulatory programmes end-to-end, ideally in regulated or audit-exposed environments.

Deep working knowledge of key ESG and sustainability frameworks, especially environmental and governance topics (for example carbon accounting and CSRD/ESRS-style reporting).

A knack for turning complex requirements into clear, concise policies, evidence packs, and guidance that non-experts can actually use.

Confidence working with senior stakeholders across People, Legal, Finance, Strategy, and Operations, balancing fixed deadlines with imperfect data.

Strong written and visual communication skills, from well-structured policies to crisp slide decks and briefing notes.

Comfort operating in ambiguity, creating structure where needed, and improving processes as regulations and business priorities evolve.
