At GSES, we make sustainability measurable and actionable at organisational, product, asset, and event levels. Through our platform and the Nature Impact Score (NIS), we provide retailers and manufacturers with clear insights into the environmental impact of their products. This enables them to make better decisions and communicate their sustainability efforts with confidence.

• Monitor progress, identify potential risks early, and keep stakeholders informed
• Identify opportunities to improve our project approach and help develop and optimise our processes as we grow

Who are you?

• You have at least 5 years of experience in project management
• You take initiative and maintain a clear overview, even when managing multiple projects simultaneously
