a leading brewing, hospitality and drinks wholesale business, united by a

shared purpose: brewing great experiences for generations to come. Through

our commitment to sustainability and forming strong partnerships, we're helping

to protect the people, places and communities that make our region special.

We're looking for a Sustainability

Manager to take ownership and leadership of Crafting a Brighter

Future, our company wide sustainability strategy which has been central to how

we do business since its launch last year.

If you're passionate about

turning strategy into action, influencing people at every level of an

organisation, and using sustainability to create business, environmental and

social value, we'd love to hear from you.

delivery and ongoing development of Crafting a Brighter Future, our

across the business, ensuring sustainability is embedded into day-to-day

Building capability, helping colleagues understand their

role, and inspiring action towards net zero ambitions and wider sustainability

goals.

achievements internally and externally.

A custodian of the sustainability story, strengthening

reputation as a responsible business.

About You

You'll be someone who enjoys

bringing people together around a shared purpose. You're comfortable

influencing senior stakeholders, but equally happy rolling up your sleeves to

work alongside operational teams to make things happen.
