The frameworks that govern modern sustainability reporting — GRI, ESRS, IFRS Sustainability, TCFD, UN SDGs — were built to capture environmental, social, and governance performance. The people best placed to translate field reality into structured disclosure aren’t always engineers. Often they’re graduates of environmental science, disaster management, climate studies, social sciences, statistics, public policy, or sustainability sciences.
We’re hiring Sustainability Developers from these backgrounds onto our consulting bench. You will own pieces of live engagements end-to-end — design materiality assessments, build out reporting structures, coordinate factory-level data collection, draft narrative sections, and present findings to client leadership.
This is not a junior shadow role. From week one you’ll be embedded in named accounts, working directly with senior consultants and directors with exposure to the full reporting lifecycle and the regulatory backdrop driving it.
A typical week mixes desk research, client calls, on-site stakeholder work, and team writing sessions. The surface area:
Lead discrete pieces of larger engagements — set the cadence with the client, manage the risk log, and keep your deliverable on track without senior babysitting.
Design and facilitate materiality assessments. Run interviews with workers, suppliers, and management to surface what actually matters for the report and the business.
Author full sections of GRI / ESRS / IFRS Sustainability — disclosures, KPI tables, and the narrative that ties numbers to context. Manage the back-and-forth with assurance providers.
Translate international standards into client-specific policies and procedures — environmental management, supplier code of conduct, grievance mechanism, human-rights due diligence.
Coordinate factory-level data collection, validate submissions against source documents, and build the reconciliation models that make sure the numbers tell a coherent story.
Run client capacity-building sessions on disclosure, materiality, and SDG alignment. Train factory teams to own the data they’re reporting next year without our help.
Work with our engineering, ESG, and design colleagues on integrated proposals — the deliverable is rarely a single discipline’s output.
Track regulatory developments — CSRD, ESPR, ESRS sector standards, IFRS S1/S2 — and turn them into briefing notes for the team and the clients we already serve.
Background diversity is the point of this role. The non-negotiables are below — everything else is on the table.
BSc, MSc, BBA, or MBA in Environmental Science, Disaster Management, Climate Studies, Sustainability Sciences, Geography, Public Policy, Sociology, Statistics, Development Studies, or related fields. Engineering grads who want the consulting rather than audit side are welcome too.
1–3 years of relevant work — sustainability consulting, NGO programs, internal CSR / ESG, applied research, or a strong internship from a rigorous program.
Working familiarity with at least one of GRI, ESRS, IFRS Sustainability, CDP, TCFD, UN SDGs, ZDHC, or Higg FEM. We don’t expect mastery of all of them — we expect curiosity and the ability to learn the next one quickly.
Strong written English, comfort building structured analyses in Excel or Sheets, and a track record of getting things across the finish line under real deadlines.
Curious, methodical, comfortable with ambiguity, and willing to ask the obvious question in a roomful of senior people. We hire for slope, not intercept.
Compensation, benefits, and the things that don’t fit on a comp sheet but make the work worth doing.
Benchmarked against the Bangladeshi sustainability consulting market and reviewed yearly.
Performance-based bonus and two festival bonuses a year on top of base salary.
Monthly mobile allowance covered — client coordination shouldn’t come out of your pocket.
Partially-subsidised lunch at the Uttara office. Real teams eat together.
Hands-on with GRI, ESRS, IFRS, CDP, TCFD, Higg FEM, ZDHC, and the UN SDGs — the same frameworks our senior consultants train under.
Defined path from Sustainability Developer → Senior Developer → Project Lead → Account Lead, tied to scope and reviewed every cycle.
