  • 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.

  • 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*.
