Job description

What we are looking for

We're seeking a driven Analyst with exceptional writing and data analysis skills to join our purpose-driven team. The ideal candidate is eager to make a real impact and is keen to get involved in a variety of consulting services offered at Seismic.

About us

Here at Seismic we have a two-part vision: to help 10 million people join the shift by 2030 and to be the best place we have ever worked.

We know that’s an ambitious vision. That means challenging ourselves and our clients every day, striving for growth, and delivering real impact. You can see more about our mission in our CEO’s TEDx talk, “The purpose of profit: the business of securing a sustainable future.”

We foster a culture of continuous learning and mutual support, ensuring every changemaker feels empowered to grow and contribute their best.

We are not just talking about change; we are actively driving it. We ourselves are a B Corp and our team of B Corp, Net Zero, Reporting and Sustainability Comms experts collaborate to deliver measurable impact for clients ranging from innovative SMEs to global corporations. You can read some of their stories here.

We’re a close-knit team, working together towards a shared vision. All that’s missing is you!

The role and its responsibilities

The exact role definition will be dependent on the desire, capability and experiences of the right person. Key responsibilities are likely to include:

• Supporting clients on their sustainability and ESG journey, this may include strategy, sustainability communications, calculating carbon impact, Guiding clients through B Corp certification and many other impactful workflows
• Delivering a high-quality service that enables long-term impact.
• Building strong and lasting relationships with colleagues, clients and our wider community.
• Identifying ways to support our clients that they may not recognise to ensure we are providing solutions that are tailored to their objectives and future needs.
• Supporting our marketing and business development which is essential to our impact goals.

About you

You believe that humanity and businesses need to make a seismic shift in the right direction and want to apply your consulting and analytical capabilities to help make that happen. At the same time you want to work in a friendly, collaborative and empathetic team who are delivering impactful projects for high-profile clients. You will especially enjoy working at Seismic if you have a growth mindset and are comfortable with uncertainty, as we are a fast-growing, agile and evolving business.

To be successful in this role you would need the following attributes:

• You are passionate about sustainability and have an interest in the corporate sustainability market.
• You have strong data analysis skills and are proficient in using Excel/GoogleSheets.
• You have great communication skills (verbal and written), especially when it comes to communicating recommendations to clients and colleagues.
• You have had some exposure to a professional working environment either from a start-up, a professional services firm, or a similar organisation.
• You act with empathy in a ‘human first’ way at all times.
• You are a practical “doer”, you are organised and you push yourself and others.
• You are comfortable giving feedback, even to senior management, with the spirit and intention needed to deliver our impact.
• You are excited about the opportunity to be part of a high-performing team, learning and growing with Seismic as we deliver our vision.

Importantly, you love client work and also working with teammates to build something great. You like a laugh but are not afraid to graft. You have plenty to offer, and know you have even more to learn.

You are proactive, have a keen eye for detail and enjoy juggling multiple projects and priorities and enjoy just the right amount of time pressure to help keep productive and focused. You are a ‘people person’ with a knack for building relationships.

You are more excited by the opportunities of working for a young, fast growing, ever evolving, purpose-driven business than for a large corporate.
