Client Partner

Groundswell is unlocking value and efficiency through sustainability – we call it the third wave.

• The first wave: Sustainability was seen as separate from business. A few companies embedded it because they understood its value.
• The second wave: Regulators, consumers, and investors forced it onto the agenda. This created a whole new industry, but sustainability became siloed from the wider business.
• The third wave: Companies are now realising that sustainability is simply part of doing good business – moving it from a siloed function to a firm-wide capability.

We spun out of Octopus Group in 2025, where our founding team built and led the Impact and Sustainability function. Octopus is known for disrupting broken industries and solving real-world problems, and Groundswell applies that same mindset to sustainability. Our mission is to make sustainability an embedded, valued capability within businesses.

The Role

We are looking for a Client Partner to join our growing team, leading relationships and delivering sustainability strategies across a portfolio of clients.

This is a role for someone with 5+ years of experience in sustainability, backed by solid financial knowledge and the stakeholder management skills to operate at a senior level. You’ll work directly with clients to develop and deliver sustainability strategies, drawing on expertise and support from across the business. You’ll also play an active role in growing Groundswell, building relationships and our network.

We are looking for someone who is commercially minded, and genuinely excited by what it means to build something in a small, ambitious business.

Please note we cannot sponsor visas.
