Effective corporate climate reporting is critical to addressing the climate crisis; if corporations don’t clearly account for their emissions, there is no way to ensure they are reduced. The de facto global standards for corporate emissions accounting are currently under review. That means we have a once-in-a-decade opportunity to fix major loopholes in emissions reporting and increase corporate accountability for climate impacts.

There is a pressing need for a Business Engagement Lead who can build and mobilise a coalition of climate-leading companies willing to champion stronger corporate emissions reporting. This role combines relationship-building, strategic advocacy, and deep engagement with business leaders to translate corporate climate ambition into public support for meaningful reform. With leading scientists warning we are failing in our efforts to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees, there are few jobs that offer a greater opportunity to shape how the private sector shows up for climate accountability.

About us:

Action Speaks Louder (ASL) is a not-for-profit galvanising people around the world to hold major corporations to account for their climate promises. We focus on persuading corporations to walk the talk on climate, in order to help deliver international climate goals.

If we can convince large consumer-facing, brand-sensitive corporations to live up to their climate commitments, it will transform the landscape – dramatically reducing greenhouse gas emissions and boosting renewable energy procurement, whilst creating the political space for governments to increase ambition.

Action Speaks Louder has built a diverse team of campaigners across multiple countries, especially in the Asia Pacific region, and has a strong track record delivering outcomes from multinational companies.

We are committed to offering equal opportunities in a diverse, flexible, family-friendly, supportive working environment.

About you

• You are an experienced business engagement or corporate partnerships professional, and can tell us about the impact your work has delivered in shifting corporate practice.
• You have a demonstrated understanding of how power operates within corporate and industry ecosystems, and what motivates business leaders to act ahead of regulation.
• You have a demonstrated understanding of corporate climate policy and can develop a working knowledge of how emissions accounting standards shape corporate decision-making and unlock business benefits.
• You are a creative, strategic thinker who can build compelling cases and coalitions to move targeted business stakeholders toward stronger climate commitments.
• You have proven experience building and maintaining trust-based relationships with business leaders, industry associations, and multi-stakeholder initiatives, and can work collaboratively across diverse and sometimes competing interests.
• You are a strong communicator who excels at translating technical accounting issues into clear, credible business cases that resonate with corporate decision-makers.
• You bring existing networks or fluency in the corporate and civil society landscape, and can engage business leaders and stakeholders in English, Spanish and/or Portuguese. Fluency in English is essential.
