The RoleSustainGRC is scaling its ESG and sustainability intelligence suite — spanning CSRD/ESRS, GRI, ISSB, double materiality, financed emissions (PCAF), climate risk, and more — into UK financial services and GCC enterprise markets. We need a practitioner who understands ESG not as a reporting exercise but as a data and assurance discipline operating under regulatory scrutiny.This is a a flexible engagement: review the platform, validate framework alignment, provide structured feedback. As we scale, you flex into delivery — client workshops, implementation guidance, regulatory submissions.What You'll DoPlatform Innovation Assess ESG modules against CSRD/ESRS, GRI Standards, ISSB/IFRS S1–S2, and FCA SDR requirementsValidate double materiality methodology, IRO tracking, and data lineage against assurance-grade standardsIdentify gaps, market readiness signals, and quick wins for UK financial services prospectsProduce a concise Framework Alignment Report for internal and client-facing useAdvisory Support Advise on disclosure methodology, assurance readiness, and audit trail requirements across frameworksSupport pre-sales — technical credibility in prospect conversations with CSOs, CFOs, Heads of Sustainability, and Audit CommitteesValidate client ESG data architecture against third-party assurance and regulatory submission requirementsDeployment Deliver client-facing workshops on materiality assessment, climate risk disclosure, and financed emissions measurementGuide implementation engagements aligned to CSRD, FCA SDR, and ISSB requirementsSupport regulatory submissions and assurance readiness assessmentsWhat We're Looking ForCoreWorking knowledge across at least three of: CSRD/ESRS, GRI, ISSB/IFRS S1–S2, PCAF, FCA SDRBackground in carbon accounting, sustainability assurance, ESG advisory, climate risk, or non-financial reporting within regulated environmentsFamiliarity with double materiality, Scope 3 accounting, and financed emissions methodology10+ years relevant experience preferred; strong regulatory foundation and commercial instinct consideredArabic advantageous for GCC client-facing engagementsWhat Matters MostAssurance credibility — you can hold a room with a CFO, external auditor, or sustainability committeeCommercial instinct — you understand the difference between technically correct and commercially deployableEntrepreneurial drive — you see a market opportunity and want to own a piece of itWhy This RoleYou wont be a part of a generic ESG tool. It is an agentic governance infrastructure that enterprises will rely on for regulatory disclosure, external assurance, and board accountability. You will shape the product. Your credibility opens doors.The EU Omnibus adjustment has narrowed CSRD scope — but mandatory disclosure for large listed companies, financial institutions, and GCC sovereigns is accelerating, not retreating. FCA SDR enforcement is live. ISSB adoption is moving.
