This creates a space for alignment, awareness, and enthusiasm before stepping into the new week and allows everyone to get the latest updates from different departments while hearing about the organisation’s growth.

As a key decision-maker in the organisation, you will lead our climate & sustainability advisory consulting teams and oversee our financial strategy and operations.
