  • Managing the score feedback process to companies as well as producing briefing documents to enable the team to conduct efficient score feedback conversations with companies;
  • This will require building up strong knowledge in CDP’s scoring methodologies and establishing a smart and IT-supported process for consolidating this information efficiently and at scale.

Content writing and communications:

  • Ensuring a high level of quality of the written communication between CDP Europe and corporations, such as by drafting and reviewing mailout templates, website communication, high-level communications between senior CDP Europe staff and corporate decision-makers up to C-level;
  • Generating template presentations, compelling pitching brochures and other material equipping Engagement Managers and Officers in their engagement companies to disclose to CDP.

The successful candidate will have:

  • BA/BSc degree in fields like but not limited to business administration, management etc. or equivalent experience;
  • 3+ years of work experience in a comparable role;
  • Strong administrative and project/program management skills;
  • Excellent knowledge of MS Word, MS Outlook and Powerpoint; advanced knowledge of MS Excel; knowledge of project management systems is an advantage;
  • Excellent English skills (verbal and written – C2 level), other European languages are an advantage (particularly French/German);
  • Advanced knowledge of CRM systems, particularly MS Dynamics, is an advantage;
  • "Can-do” attitude coupled with attention to detail and a diligent working approach;
  • Enjoy working with people and large corporations for a good purpose, ability to work with teams in a multi-national setting;
  • Interest in corporate sustainability themes and related company challenges.

What we offer:

  • Exciting and challenging tasks in a dynamic, innovative and highly motivated team;
