Who We Are

Seven Clean Seas is an ocean-impact social enterprise dedicated to combating plastic pollution while fostering sustainable livelihoods. We build Ocean Impact Projects and empower communities to turn the tide on plastic pollution.

We are looking for a Sustainability Consultant who can help grow our consultancy and technical offering and provide mentorship and support for our in-house team.

The Role

As a Sustainability Consultant, you will be instrumental in expanding Seven Clean Seas’ sustainability consultancy and technical services. You will provide leadership and mentorship to our in-house sustainability team and champion our mission across our client and partner ecosystem. This role is pivotal in bridging technical expertise with purpose-driven action to amplify our impact in the fight against plastic pollution.

• Technical Oversight: Provide technical oversight and supervision for all client deliverables, ensuring high-quality, impactful outcomes.
• Analysis & Reporting: Conduct and review data analysis to generate clear, evidence-based, high-quality reports that translate findings into actionable recommendations.
• Business Development: Support business development efforts by contributing to proposal writing, client pitching, and the design of new service offerings.
• Client Engagement: Deliver high-quality engagement with clients and partners throughout project delivery, reporting, and advisory services, ensuring their sustainability goals are met with excellence.
• Industry Representation: Represent Seven Clean Seas in industry working groups focused on plastic credit markets and ESG in corporate plastic footprinting, positioning the organisation as a thought leader.
• Internal Advisory: Advise internal departments on core sustainability principles and support our communications team to ensure consistent, mission-aligned messaging.
• Training & Development: Train and upskill internal team members in sustainability methodologies and best practices, fostering a culture of continuous learning.

Requirements

• Education: Masters or Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Engineering, Environmental Management, Sustainability, or a related field.
• Experience: 5+ years of experience in sustainability or relevant industries, ideally including consultancy experience (preferably within a start-up or scale-up environment).
• Team Management: Proven experience in managing and mentoring technical teams.
• Technical Skills: Excellent problem-solving abilities and strong technical reasoning skills.
• Commercial Acumen: A strong commercial mindset with a passion for scalable impact and operational efficiency.
• Bonus Qualifications: Familiarity with sustainability frameworks and methodologies such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), the GHG Protocol, or CDP reporting.

What We Offer

• Competitive Compensation: A competitive salary with growth opportunities in a rapidly scaling organisation.
• Purpose-Driven Mission: The chance to be part of a purpose-driven team creating measurable environmental impact every day.
• Dynamic Workplace: A dynamic, entrepreneurial startup environment with a clear path for career progression and professional development.
• Tropical Lifestyle: The opportunity to live and work in beautiful Bali, surrounded by a passionate, close-knit team who genuinely care about each other and the mission.
