- align with global climate disclosure frameworks
In simple terms:
BDO helps define what “credible ESG reporting” actually looks like in practice.
About the Role:
This is a high-trust ESG advisory and assurance role.
You are operating at the intersection of:
- ESG consulting

- regulatory reporting
So you are not just advising companies.
You are validating whether their sustainability claims are actually defensible.

- Develop ESG strategies aligned with client objectives
- Advise on frameworks such as GRI, SASB, TCFD, CDP
Climate Risk & Sustainability Analysis
- Conduct climate risk and ESG risk assessments
- Identify sustainability opportunities and business resilience pathways
- Support development of ESG-integrated business strategies

Team Leadership
- Supervise and mentor junior team members
- Review technical outputs and ensure quality control
- Support capability building within the ESG practice
Business Development

- Engage with clients on sustainability transformation needs
Project & Stakeholder Management
- Manage multiple ESG engagements across sectors and regions
- Maintain strong client relationships and manage expectations
- Ensure timely and high-quality delivery of outputs
Who They’re Looking For:
- 5+ years in ESG, sustainability consulting, or risk advisory
- Strong knowledge of ESG frameworks (GRI, SASB, TCFD, GHG Protocol)
- Experience in ESG reporting, strategy, or assurance
- Strong analytical, communication, and leadership skills
- Ability to manage multiple complex engagements
- ESG certification is preferred
Why This Role Matters:
This is one of the gatekeeping roles of the ESG ecosystem.
Why?
Because companies cannot just say they are sustainable anymore.
They must be:
- measured
- verified
- audited
- challenged
And firms like BDO sit in that verification layer.
So you are not just supporting ESG.
You are deciding whether ESG claims survive scrutiny.
