We are looking for a new team member to join our growing management consultancy in Central London. This is a development role for people at the beginning of their career in sustainability consulting.

With offices in London and Shanghai, we are 30 people strong and do innovative and worthwhile work, helping companies become more sustainable.

We offer a competitive salary, friendly and diverse colleagues, and an office-culture that prizes flexibility and creative thinking.

About us

Carnstone is a management consultancy specialising in sustainability. We serve a global client base of big companies and international organisations like the UN. We are big enough to work as trusted advisors to blue chip companies across all sectors yet small enough to operate without too much bureaucracy and to pursue the challenges we find interesting.

Our work covers a huge range of interrelated topics: from governance, to human rights, to supply chain sustainability, to climate change. We work with client teams in marketing, compliance, procurement and communications as well as their sustainability functions, usually at Executive level. To find out more about our work have a look at our insights page.

The vacancy

The job is at our ‘Junior Partner’ level. Either fresh out of university or changing track from other industries, Junior Partners are the fastest learners at Carnstone. Their role is about providing accurate, high quality and reliable support to Partners and Senior Partners. JPs will be responsible for specific tasks, often behind the scenes, but in return, they have an amazing opportunity to acquire vast amounts of knowledge in a short amount of time. It’s a role that offers a lot of opportunities for professional development.

What are we looking for?

Intellect and energy

• Curious and unafraid of challenging conventional wisdom;
• Wants to learn and to be challenged;
• Has a quick mind, able to assimilate and process information rapidly;
• Has attention to detail and can deliver work to a high standard;
• Self-motivated and able to manage your own workload (plan, prioritise, etc.);
• Numerate and analytical.

Commercial and entrepreneurial

• Has an entrepreneurial mindset;
• Comfortable working at pace;
• Enjoys business and believes that business can make a real contribution to solving sustainability problems;
• Thinks profit and growth are positive concepts, not negative ones.

Good with people

• Empathy, a good listener, and able to put themselves into other peoples’ shoes;
• Confident and engaging;
• Ability to communicate well when presenting, writing and speaking;
• Resilient and persistent; able to handle knock-backs and challenges.

Candidates should be able to demonstrate the following qualifications:

• An undergraduate degree or higher in Business, Economics, Science, Engineering or a similar subject;
• Excellent command of IT and ability to use technical skills for maximum impact for clients.
• (This is an intentionally short list – you’ll learn the rest on the job!)

Unsure? Please apply! Carnstone has a great team, and we have a great team because we’re all different. We don’t always know what we’re looking for in colleagues until we see it and it could well be you.

Job ads like these are always pretty daunting, so if it leaves you feeling: I like the sound of that, but I’m not sure I’m ‘their sort of person’ please do have a go.

The package

We offer a competitive package including:

• A starting salary of £26,000 with an annual review and potential for rapid progression depending on performance;
• Maternity, paternity and adoption leave arrangements well above the statutory minimums;
• Excellent additional benefits including a group personal pension scheme with 10% annual company pension contribution, private medical insurance, and life and critical illness insurance;
• 6 volunteering days a year to work with a charity or community organisation of your choice;
• A great central London HQ, combined with an innovative flexible working package.

Why work at Carnstone?

Our working environment is friendly, informal and creative. We are energetic and smart. We aim for a culture where you can bring your whole self to work and act with authenticity all day long. And we do really great work which we love and which – ultimately – helps huge companies to be more sustainable.
