Hey there!
We’re looking for support in operations and business. Someone who’s eager to step up and take ownership of the behind-the-scenes work that keeps our ESG consulting firm running smoothly. As one of our first hires, you’ll have the opportunity to help build and shape key processes from the ground up. This is a role for someone who’s ready to make an impact and grow with us.
Who are we?
We’re an ESG consulting firm dedicated to helping businesses integrate sustainability into their core strategy. Whether it’s developing strategies for net-zero goals or ensuring companies meet new sustainability regulations, we’re making a real difference—and you can be a part of that!
What You'll Do:
In this role, you’ll be taking ownership of crucial operational tasks and helping us grow the business. You’ll have the autonomy to suggest improvements and lead initiatives. Here’s what you’ll be responsible for:
-
Operations Lead: You’ll be the go-to person for all things admin. From organizing meetings and managing calendars to keeping track of important documents, you’ll be the backbone of our day-to-day operations.
-
Data Management and CRM Guru: You’ll take control of our client data and CRM system, ensuring that all information is organized and up-to-date. You’ll also help streamline our data processes to keep things running smoothly.
-
Business Development Strategist: You’ll assist in identifying potential clients and opportunities, helping us expand our network. From researching new markets to drafting proposals, you’ll be directly involved in driving business growth.
-
Event Coordinator: You’ll help plan and coordinate webinars, workshops, and client meetings that put us in the spotlight and bring in new leads.
-
Process Improvement Expert: You’ll have the freedom to find ways to improve how we do things—whether it’s suggesting new tools, automating tasks, or making operations more efficient.
What We're Looking For:
- You’re currently studying Business, Management, Environmental Studies, or a similar field (but we’re open to anyone with a passion for ESG and operations).
- You’re organized, detail-oriented, and love making things run smoothly.
- You’re comfortable taking on responsibility and suggesting improvements.
- You’re tech-savvy and know your way around Office 365, and project management tools (we use Monday.com).
- You’re a strong communicator and team player.
What We Offer:
- Competitive Pay: Base salary of €17 per hour + up to 20% bonus based on performance.
- Ownership and Responsibility: You’ll have real ownership over operations and business development tasks, making a significant impact from day one.
- Learning and Growth: You’ll be working directly with our founder, gaining hands-on experience building a firm from 0.
- Flexibility: We offer flexible working hours to fit your academic schedule.
- Career Development: If you love what you do, there’s the potential to join us full-time after graduation.
