Want to lead high-impact philanthropy, inclusion and sustainability projects for one of the most recognisable beverage brands on the planet? This one's a genuinely exciting brief.
I'm working confidentially with a globally iconic, market-leading FMCG drinks business to find a Strategic Project Manager to sit at the heart of their ESG agenda across EMEA. You'll own the end-to-end delivery of projects spanning corporate philanthropy, inclusion, and sustainability, working directly with senior stakeholders and reporting into the VP of Legal.
THE ROLE
- Manage multiple concurrent projects from initiation to closure, owning plans, timelines, risk and governance.
- Drive corporate giving and charitable partnership programmes, working closely with Legal and Compliance on due diligence.
- Lead inclusion-focused initiatives that remove barriers and build equitable opportunity across the region.
- Coordinate sustainability workstreams with Brand, Comms and functional teams, plus NGO and environmental partners.
- Build and activate engagement communities that bring people into the mission, not just the metrics.
WHAT AM I LOOKING FOR?
- 4 to 6 years in project or programme management, ideally with ESG, sustainability, inclusion or social impact exposure.
- Someone who can run multiple priorities independently, without needing to be chased.
- Strong governance instincts. Comfortable in a risk register as much as a stakeholder meeting.
- A genuine passion for social impact. This isn't a box-ticking role, it's a business that means it.
WHY APPLY?
This is a rare chance to own real ESG delivery inside a brand with serious global reach and cultural cachet, not just influence policy from the sidelines. For the right person, it's a career-defining move into a business that's investing properly in this space.
This search is strictly confidential. I can share full details, including the client name, once we've had an initial conversation. I want to hear from the best project and programme leaders in this space, whether you're actively looking or just curious.
