Position Summary
EBI Consulting is seeking an experienced Director of ESG to join and support the growth and development of EBI’s Corporate Social Responsibility, Sustainability, and Climate Resiliency services. EBI works with our clients to better understand, and execute against, the emerging trends within sustainability that can apply to enhancing the impact, competitiveness, and execution of EBI services. This role will support all clients needing an ESG strategic partner to improve their sustainability (E), diversity and inclusion (S), and compliance in a net zero future (G), including many well-known mid-to-large private and public companies, as well as federal, state, and municipal governments.
This role will help expand the footprint of EBI’s ESG Business Unit, which includes our Energy & Sustainability, Environmental Health & Safety, Site Investigation & Remediation, and Building Sciences services. The successful candidate will be able to expand existing client relationship and build new ones for EBI by bringing in new clients based on existing relationships and networks, and through business development initiatives (conference attendance, thought leadership, meetings, etc.). This role works closely with EBI’s Associate Program Manager, Senior Vice President of ESG, Account Executives, and Business Development Representatives to strategize and develop sales efforts for new and existing ESG services. They will also manage a team of ESG professionals and work cross-functionally with technical experts throughout EBI to develop new services and ensure the quality and timely delivery of ESG Services to our clients. While a critical function for our clients, ESG is also important for EBI internally, so a portion of time will be spent advancing EBI’s internal ESG initiatives and messaging.
This position reports directly to the Senior Vice President, ESG, and will play an active role in not only overseeing the ESG Services group but also growing the function by hiring future staff. While it is not required to be located near the Burlington, MA corporate headquarters, candidates residing in or near Massachusetts are preferred. Nationwide travel, while infrequent (~once per month), is necessary, so familiarity and comfortability with this responsibility is required.
