Communication & ESG Specialist

The successful candidate will take charge of the ESG roadmap, focusing heavily on strategy design and monitoring. This includes a significant portion of the role dedicated to ESG reporting and regulatory watch, ensuring the company meets both internal global standards and local requirements like the CGEM label or ISO 26000. Beyond technical reporting, you will be the internal sustainability referent. This involves translating complex goals into actionable initiatives such as diversity programs, environmental footprint reduction, and social impact projects that align with the corporate 'OneTeam' philosophy. Communication plays a vital role, though it occupies a smaller fraction of the time. You will create engaging content including newsletters and workshops to ensure that sustainability initiatives are visible and understood across all levels of the organization.

Working within a major IT service provider like DXC offers deep exposure to international ESG frameworks and professional reporting standards such as CSRD and various ISO certifications. You will likely gain advanced expertise in how digital services intersect with environmental and social governance. Moreover, the role provides a platform to develop cross-functional leadership skills. By managing workshops and coordinating with diverse departments, you will refine your ability to influence organizational culture without direct hierarchical authority, focusing on change management within a tech environment. Because the role involves high-level strategic planning, you will also sharpen your analytical skills, specifically in data management for dashboards and translating high-level corporate directives into localized, impactful operational plans.

The ideal profile holds a Master’s degree in Communication or Sustainable Development with at least two years of experience specifically in ESG strategy implementation. Professional fluency in both French and English is non-negotiable for handling international reporting and diverse stakeholder communications. Technical proficiency in ESG standards (ISO 14001, ISO 26000, or sector labels) is highly valued. You should be comfortable using data tools like Excel for tracking KPIs and collaborative platforms like Microsoft Teams or Forms for managing internal surveys and stakeholder engagement. Soft skills are paramount here; the company seeks a proactive professional who combines pedagogical talent with diplomatic rigor. You must be able to synthesize complex information into clear narratives that inspire employees while maintaining the accuracy required for formal audits.

To stand out, emphasize your experience in bridge-building between corporate reporting and employee engagement. Share specific examples of how you have translated technical ESG data into a success story or a campaign that increased internal participation in CSR initiatives. Since this role supports an IT consulting firm, demonstrating an understanding of the carbon footprint of digital services or experience with tech-industry specific labels would be a major advantage. Highlighting any experience with the CGEM label or Moroccan sustainability context will show immediate local relevance. Ensure your application reflects both your analytical side and your creative communication skills. A resume that is both data-driven and visually clear will signal your ability to handle the dual nature of this 'Specialist' role effectively.

The focus is heavily weighted toward building a robust governance and reporting structure. This means ensuring compliance with evolving regulations and maintaining the credibility of the company's sustainability claims through rigorous internal and external reporting. Social pillars like inclusion and equal opportunity are central themes. You will likely manage projects that promote diversity within the tech sector, specifically focusing on how the Morocco site contributes to global social impact goals while addressing local community needs. Environmental stewardship within the IT context, such as energy efficiency and waste reduction related to data centers or office operations, will also be a key component. You will align these local actions with the broader corporate strategy to ensure a cohesive global impact.

One of the primary challenges will be the prioritization of tasks in a multi-project environment. Balancing the heavy demands of reporting and regulatory monitoring with the creative demands of internal communication requires high-level organizational skills. Fostering employee buy-in across a large IT organization can also be difficult. Engaging busy technical teams in sustainability initiatives requires a high degree of creativity and persistence to ensure that ESG is seen as a core value rather than a peripheral administrative task. Navigating the transition between local Moroccan operations and global corporate expectations might present alignment challenges. You will need to act as a translator for global directives, making them relevant to the local cultural and operational context of the Rabat office.

A typical morning might involve reviewing the latest regulatory updates or refining an ESG dashboard for an upcoming management meeting. You might spend time analyzing survey data to measure the impact of a recent inclusion initiative. Afternoons are often more collaborative. This could involve meeting with department heads to gather data for a sustainability report or facilitating a workshop to brainstorm new 'OneTeam' engagement activities. Coordinating with the communication team to draft a newsletter capsule is also common. The day usually ends with administrative follow-ups, such as managing relationships with external partners or labels, and planning the next steps for transversal projects that involve multiple stakeholders across the site.

This role offers significant visibility, placing you at the center of strategic decision-making regarding the company's reputation and impact. Success in this position could lead to more senior ESG management roles within the EMEA region or specialized leadership in corporate affairs. As the IT sector increasingly prioritizes Green IT and sustainable architectures, you could evolve into a strategic advisor specialized in the sustainability of digital services, a highly sought-after expertise in the global market. Furthermore, the cross-functional nature of the job builds a versatile skill set that is applicable to senior roles in Corporate Communications, HSE, or Strategic Operations, providing a clear path for professional advancement within large multinational structures.

You will frequently interact with Senior Leadership and the regional ESG department to align local initiatives with global strategy. They rely on your reporting to track the site's performance against corporate goals. Internal collaborators from all departments are your primary audience for engagement. You will act as a facilitator for these teams, providing the tools and motivation they need to participate in the company's social and environmental programs. External stakeholders include regulatory bodies, certification labels like the CGEM, and local NGOs or community partners. Maintaining professional and transparent relationships with these groups is essential for the company's license to operate and its reputation in Morocco.
