We’re BDO, an accountancy and business advisory firm providing the advice and solutions entrepreneurial organizations need to navigate today’s changing world.

We work with Britain’s economic engine—ambitious, entrepreneurial, high-growth businesses—and directly advise their owners and management teams.

We’ll help you succeed

Leading organizations trust us because of the quality of our advice, which stems from a thorough understanding of their business gained through close collaboration and long-lasting relationships.

You’ll be proactive and able to manage your tasks independently, while also collaborating effectively with others and communicating regularly with senior managers, directors, and partners to support business success. You’ll also identify opportunities to enhance our services and delivery.

We are seeking an experienced carbon and climate practitioner to join our Sustainability Consulting team within BDO UK’s Consulting Practice. The role involves leading complex client assignments related to carbon measurement and reporting, decarbonization, and net-zero transition, as well as supporting business development and learning & development activities to upskill colleagues.

A proven track record in project management, quantifying scope 1-3 emissions, and experience in carbon reduction planning or climate risk assessment is required. A thorough understanding of carbon accounting standards, especially the GHG Protocol, and awareness of greenhouse gas reporting legislation are essential. Experience with ESG data management systems and people management is desirable.

The role can be based in London, Bristol, Birmingham, Leeds, or Manchester.

The successful candidate will:

• Be purpose-driven, aiming to deliver positive societal impact
• Enjoy working collaboratively in a fast-paced environment
• Be adaptable, seeking solutions to complex challenges with innovative approaches
• Be client-focused, committed to delivering high-quality work
• Possess strong organizational and motivational skills
• Think strategically while paying attention to detail
• Explain complex technical information clearly to non-technical audiences
• Have expertise in developing carbon reduction strategies, plans, and initiatives
• Assess and manage climate-related risks and opportunities, including TCFD disclosures
• Have knowledge of carbon pricing and markets
• Possess people management skills

We value your individuality and contributions, offering flexible, agile working options. We are committed to your career development through various programs and resources.

We’re in it together

Mutual support and respect are core to our culture. We provide mentoring, coaching, and a collaborative environment with modern office spaces to foster sharing ideas and building networks.

We’re dedicated to helping entrepreneurial businesses succeed, fueling the UK economy, and investing in our people’s growth and success.
