As a Sustainability Manager, you will oversee the group-wide operationalization of environmental and social governance workstreams. You will act as a central coordinator, managing everything from internal training and awareness campaigns to the technical rigor of annual sustainability reporting. Beyond pure project management, this role involves mentoring junior staff to ensure that every sustainability initiative—whether it is a certification process or an ESG risk assessment—is executed with high-quality documentation and proactive risk management.
This position matters because Majid Al Futtaim is a massive regional player whose scale means that even incremental improvements in ESG performance have a significant impact on the Middle East’s transition to a green economy. By refining ESG risk ratings and driving external recognition through awards and certifications, you help maintain the high credit standing and public trust of a conglomerate that welcomes over 600 million customers annually. Your work directly translates abstract corporate targets into measurable regional impact.
This suits someone who possesses a sharp eye for detail in reporting and a collaborative spirit for managing cross-functional teams. You should be a structured project lead who is comfortable navigating the complexities of a large, diversified lifestyle conglomerate while mentoring the next generation of sustainability professionals.
