Kinly’s Senior Sustainability Manager will shape its climate and circularity work as the company develops a group-wide sustainability strategy. The role centres on improving emissions management, setting practical reduction plans and bringing environmental considerations into technology projects and operations across an expanded global business.
This work links Kinly’s own footprint with the equipment and services it integrates for clients. Scope 1, 2 and 3 accounting, science-based targets and climate risk analysis can help the company track progress and respond to customer expectations, while circularity and supply-chain data bring resource use into view. The role also contributes to external reporting and environmental assurance.
This suits someone who can combine carbon accounting expertise with clear communication, turning complex standards and data into workable decisions with colleagues in operations, procurement and commercial teams.
Job FAQs
What are the main missions and responsibilities of this role?
The role would coordinate Kinly’s global decarbonisation programme, manage annual Scope 1, 2 and 3 data collection and analysis, and support assurance of emissions information. It would also guide revalidation of targets with the Science Based Targets initiative and contribute to climate risk and opportunity assessments.
Alongside climate work, the manager would advance resource efficiency and circularity in client projects, work with procurement on supplier environmental data, and support disclosures including CDP, EcoVadis and sustainability reporting. The broader aim is to turn the group strategy into measurable actions across Kinly’s global operations.
Key learning opportunities for this job
The role could deepen expertise in corporate GHG accounting, SBTi target-setting and the practical application of climate disclosure frameworks. Working with emissions assurance, scenario analysis and financial assessments may also build understanding of how climate risks connect to business decisions.
Exposure to operations, procurement and client project teams could broaden experience in circularity and supply-chain data, particularly in workplace technology and audiovisual integration. The posting does not specify formal training or certifications, so development would likely come through programme delivery and collaboration with the VP Global Sustainability.
How does the ideal candidate look like (experience, skills)?
The posting calls for experience in environmental management, carbon accounting or corporate sustainability, including work supporting science-based targets or decarbonisation programmes. A strong candidate would understand the GHG Protocol, Scope 1, 2 and 3 accounting, SBTi and CDP, with familiarity in TCFD-aligned reporting and circular economy principles.
Advanced Excel skills, experience with carbon accounting platforms and comfort analysing detailed data are important. The role also calls for clear communication across technical and non-technical groups, careful project organisation and the ability to manage multiple deadlines. No specific degree or professional certification is stated.
Advice to stand out and make a successful application
Make the application concrete by describing a decarbonisation programme or target-setting project you supported, including the emissions boundary, your role in the data process and how progress was measured. Examples covering Scope 3 data, emissions verification or SBTi target work would directly match the brief.
Include a circularity example from a product, project or supply-chain context, and explain how you worked with operational or procurement colleagues. For interviews, prepare to discuss Kinly’s expanded group boundary after merger activity and how you would approach reliable data, target revalidation and clear climate disclosures without assuming information the posting does not provide.
What aspects of the company's sustainability is this role likely to focus on?
The role is likely to focus on Kinly’s operational and value-chain greenhouse gas footprint, with Scope 1, 2 and 3 measurement, reduction initiatives and SBTi target revalidation at its centre. The posting also points to climate scenario analysis and assessment of climate-related financial risks and opportunities.
Circularity and resource efficiency in client projects are another focus, alongside environmental data standards for suppliers. CDP, EcoVadis and sustainability reporting connect this technical work with external disclosure and stakeholder expectations.
What are the main challenges someone in this role might face?
A likely challenge is maintaining consistent, verifiable emissions data across a global group whose boundary has expanded following merger activity. Scope 3 collection may require coordination with suppliers and internal teams that use different systems or processes.
The manager will also need to translate climate targets and circularity principles into practical actions across operations and client projects, where commercial and delivery needs can vary. Balancing target revalidation, assurance, reporting deadlines and emerging regulation may require careful prioritisation.
How could a typical day look like for someone in this position?
A day could begin with reviewing emissions data or resolving gaps with colleagues responsible for operational and supplier information. The manager might then meet procurement to discuss environmental data standards, or work with project teams on resource efficiency and circularity options.
Other time could go to modelling or reviewing climate risks, preparing SBTi target materials, checking disclosure evidence for CDP or EcoVadis, and aligning priorities with the VP Global Sustainability. The mix would likely vary across the annual reporting cycle and programme milestones.
What are the opportunities for professional growth and development in this role?
The position could build deeper expertise in group-wide decarbonisation, emissions assurance, SBTi processes and climate risk analysis. Its combination of technical accounting and work across procurement, operations and client projects may also develop broader programme leadership skills.
As Kinly implements its group sustainability strategy, the role may gain scope through ownership of additional climate or circularity initiatives and increased exposure to senior decision-making. The posting does not describe a defined promotion path, so longer-term progression would depend on the function’s structure and the strategy’s development.
The main stakeholders you might be interacting with
The role reports to the VP Global Sustainability and would work with sustainability colleagues on the group strategy, targets and disclosures. Operational and commercial teams are key partners for emissions reduction and circularity in client projects.
Procurement is central to supplier environmental data and supply-chain standards. The manager may also coordinate with external assurance providers and disclosure platforms or assessors connected with CDP, EcoVadis and climate reporting.
