We are expanding our team and looking for Senior Consultants to join the Climate Change and Sustainability Services team to be based in several of our Swiss office locations: Zürich, Geneva, Basel, Lausanne and Bern.

At EY, the Climate Change and Sustainability Services (CCaSS) team seeks to shape the future with confidence by helping businesses respond to societal, environmental, and economic challenges. We help businesses understand and evaluate the broader value impacts and outcomes associated with their organizations, operations, programs, and projects.

Our global team is multidisciplinary and combines our core knowledge in accounting and reporting with knowledge in technical and regulatory sustainability issues. Our teams help clients improve the credibility of their ESG (environmental, social, governance) reporting and integrate sustainability aspects in business processes, including supplier management, climate & nature strategies and labor rights.

Your key responsibilities

  • You will support and advise our clients on sustainability strategies and sustainability reporting.
  • You help to provide assurance over sustainability/non-financial information using our sustainability assurance methodology.
  • You will support in developing climate strategies (e.g. GHG footprint & trajectories development, target setting and climate related risks & opportunities assessment) and Human Rights Risks and Due Diligence Assessments.
  • You follow relevant trends and developments to take them into account in our approaches and to communicate them to our internal and external contacts.
  • You also support market development by conducting studies and building customer relationships and internal training.
  • You analyze various sustainability topics by independently evaluating data and preparing the results for presentations and reports.
  • Furthermore, you support the preparation of client proposals, meetings and events.

  • Interest in topics such as sustainability, climate change, human rights, biodiversity and non-financial reporting & assurance, as well as training in these areas.
  • Experience in climate change services, human rights or in financial or non-financial audit.
  • Ability to work independently across multiple engagements with overlapping deadlines are a must.
  • Agility to learn and adapt on the job, ask the right questions and strive for the best solutions for clients are a must.
  • Experience with sustainability disclosure standards, frameworks and questionnaires such as GRI, TCFD, TNFD, ISSB, SASB, CDP, UNPRI, GHG Protocol etc. are a plus.
  • Familiarity with emerging sustainability regulations worldwide such as the Swiss Code of Obligation 964a-c, EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) are a plus.
  • Proficiency in English (written and spoken) is a requirement, additional proficiency in German and/or French is a plus.

What we look for

  • Ability to work closely with large teams and in an international environment.
  • Capacity to take initiative, overcome challenges and work collaboratively as demonstrated by prior relevant working or project experience.
  • First work experience in sustainability consulting or other working experience in sustainability related departments.
  • Available to start in September 2025.

What we offer

  • International multi-cultural team of highly motivated professionals.
  • Constant personal development with a steep learning curve – a system of training, mentoring, counseling and on-the-job learning.
  • Modern working environment and equipment, fostering mobile working flexibility.
  • Transparent performance-based recognition and progression system.
  • Acquire a fully accredited corporate MBA (EY Tech MBA) or a Masters in Sustainability from Hult International Business School, whilst working with EY, completely free*.
