Team Lead - Account Management - Toitū Envirocare

Want to be part of a passionate team of sustainability professionals? This is an excellent opportunity to join Toitū Envirocare's team!

We have offices in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch so can be flexible with location.

We are Toitū Envirocare (Enviro-Mark Solutions Limited), and chances are you've already interacted with our brands— Toitū net carbonzero, Toitū carbonreduce, or Toitū enviromark. You may have enjoyed net carbonzero certified Yealands Wine or Steinlager Beer, eaten enviromark Certified Abe's Bagels, cleaned using enviromark Certified Eco Store products or at least know friends or family who have. You may have wondered at times how organisations like Kathmandu, The Warehouse Group and Canterbury University manage their carbon emissions. The short answer: it's our people. We are proudly New Zealand's leading carbon reduction solution; however, our work isn't done yet!  Our aim is to encourage more organisations to start their journey with us to make New Zealand and the world more sustainable. 

Intrigued? 

The market for our services is growing rapidly as climate action has started to become mainstream, catalysed by several external factors. As a result of both internal and external drivers, we've undertaken a strategic review and developed a comprehensive business case for transformation. As Toitū enters its next phase of growth and digital transformation, we are looking for a Team Lead in our Account Management team, who can support our clients across our different certification programmes, to prepare GHG emissions inventories for audit and to promote their certification.

About You

• You will have a passion for assisting NZ businesses and organisations improve their sustainability and minimise their carbon footprint and impacts on the environment.
