• Lead projects from start to finish.
• Advise on emissions baselines, targets and transition plans.
• Research and benchmark clients against peers and regulatory developments, and turn the findings into clear recommendations.

• Sustainable finance experience, such as lender and investor requirements, taxonomy alignment or sustainability-linked instruments.
• Working knowledge of sustainability frameworks and regulations such as ISSB (IFRS S1 and S2), GRI and CSRD/ESRS.
• Experience in shipping or another asset-heavy sector, such as real estate (GRESB, CRREM), infrastructure or energy.
• Business development experience, such as building client relationships, proposals, pitches or account growth.   The person You are a self-starter who takes ownership without being asked. You are direct and resilient, and you hold your ground in debate while maintaining an open mind. You are pragmatic about decarbonisation in an hard-to-abate sector. Our clients differ widely in maturity and priorities, and you can engage with that honestly and constructively. Work matters to you as part of a full life, not the whole of it. You are curious about the world beyond shipping and sustainability, and you bring interests and perspectives from outside work.   How we work We are a small core team supported by specialist associates. Roles are not siloed, and everyone contributes where needed. We have an open, challenging culture: work is reviewed rigorously before it reaches a client, and everyone is encouraged to question ideas, including the Director's. The work comes in peaks. Around deadlines, that can mean late evenings, early mornings, weekend flights and time away. Outside those periods the pace is steadier and there is real flexibility. We are a close team and enjoy spending time together outside work, including team trips.   Why ITI Working at ITI offers a different experience from a large consultancy.
• Less hierarchy: You work directly with the Director and deal with clients' senior executives from day one, not several layers down.
• Broader work: You cover strategy, decarbonisation, reporting and new business, not one narrow workstream.
• Senior people to learn from: Our associates include specialists in sustainable finance, carbon markets and due diligence.
• Real rewards: When we win work, the people who won it are well rewarded.   Benefits
• International travel
• Discretionary Bonus
• Health insurance
• Cycle-to-work scheme   How to apply Please send your CV, a short covering note and one piece of written work you're proud of to rory.neil@mtinetwork.com. Applications made through LinkedIn or any other route will not be considered.
