Membership Coordinator in London

The UK Green Building Council is the industry network on a mission to radically transform the built environment in response to the climate and nature crises. We champion bold government action and bring together the full value chain of the industry to drive progress at pace and scale. This role offers an exceptional opportunity for a driven individual to be a part of addressing these urgent challenges.
