SUS - Senior Manager Sustainability Assurance

Sustainability has been high on the agendas of many companies for years. From Climate Change, Biodiversity, Circularity, equal opportunities for people and other human rights issues up to Governance. Companies are expected to measure and report on their sustainability performance, driven by the implementation of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

Your challenges

As a Senior Manager within the KPMG Sustainability Reporting & Assurance team, you will find yourself at the forefront of sustainability assurance and reporting, collaborating with a diverse range of top-tier national and international clients alongside a team of dedicated ESG professionals.

• You lead teams in which increasingly AI-supported tools are applied in our operational tasks.
• You contribute to and co-lead business development and conversations with clients on sustainability reporting & assurance topics.
• Your focus and mindset are to make a difference.
• An academic (WO) Master's degree in a relevant field. Minimum of 8 years of work experience, preferably in the field of assurance and/or ESG.
• A Postmaster Register Accountant training (or equivalent such as CPA) is a plus, but not a must have.
