About the Role
At Burberry, we believe creativity opens spaces. Our purpose is to unlock the power of imagination to push boundaries and open new possibilities for our people, customers, and communities. As a purposeful, values-driven brand, we are committed to being a force for good in the world, creating the next generation of sustainable luxury, driving industry change, and championing our communities.

You will manage Burberry’s energy-related disclosure obligations and renewable electricity procurement strategy.

Reporting to the Director of Climate, Nature, and ESG Reporting, you will also support wider Corporate Responsibility efforts to deliver environmental targets beyond Burberry’s own operations and meet broader ESG disclosure requirements.

- Support delivery and development of wider environmental targets and policies through targeted projects, including the roll-out of Burberry’s Internal Carbon Price and management of business travel environmental impacts.
- Oversee collection and analysis of global operational energy, waste, and water data quarterly, supported by an internal network of data providers.
- Ensure compliance with energy-related reporting regulations such as SECR, UK ESOS, and EU EED.
- Identify and assess site-level physical climate risks across Burberry’s estate to inform environmental risk management and reporting.
- Support integration of energy and greenhouse gas emissions data with relevant data management platforms.
- Assist preparation of broader ESG disclosures including CDP, TCFD, and the sustainability section of Burberry’s Annual Report and Accounts.
- Engage with external stakeholders such as industry working groups, consultancies, and NGOs, and monitor wider industry decarbonisation efforts.

Experience
- Strong knowledge of climate and energy reporting frameworks, legislation, and disclosure requirements including SECR, ESOS, and GHG Protocol.
- Proven experience delivering decarbonisation, renewable energy, or environmental improvement programmes with measurable outcomes.
- Excellent project management and cross-functional collaboration skills with the ability to influence diverse stakeholders.
- Commercially minded sustainability professional able to balance environmental ambition with operational practicality and business priorities.
- Experience of site-level energy, water, and/or waste auditing (desired but not essential).
- Experience with LEED, BREEAM, ISO50001, and/or ISO14001 (desired but not essential).
- Knowledge of carbon pricing mechanisms and the voluntary carbon market (desired but not essential).
