Summary of Role & Key Responsibilities

Summary of Role
Anthesis’ goal is to reduce global emissions 3Gt by 2030 through our work – that’s about half the annual emissions of the US! With a goal like that, we don’t mess about, pushing our clients to stretch beyond what feels easy or comfortable. After all, we’re in a climate emergency, so nothing less will do. While pressure to decarbonise has never been higher, doing it right starts with great data, expert analysis, and evidence-led solutions.

We are seeking a highly motivated Senior Consultant to join the Finnish Climate Resiliency & Decarbonisation Team. This is both a delivery and business development-focused role engaging directly with the market to support major sustainability projects to our clients. It will involve collaborating with our global expert network not only to deliver great projects but also to develop new innovative ways of approaching sustainability.

You will have the opportunity to own market-leading projects in areas such as climate strategy and programs, target setting (SBT’s and Net Zero), transition plans, GHG inventory development, climate risk management, internal carbon pricing and much more. You will be supported by the local Climate Resiliency & Decarbonisation Lead and experts across our global teams, working on both local and international projects.

Anthesis focuses on driving maximum sustainable impact by our clients both in the private and public sector, many of which are major blue-chip companies such as LEGO, Pepsi Co, Diageo and Janssen, as well as several leading financial sector clients.

We are seeking someone with personal passion for climate and sustainability action who is eager to learn and drive impact. You must be a self-starter with initiative to flex across client sectors and service areas to deliver excellence and value for our clients.
