This is a delivery role at its core: you'll drive multi-stakeholder projects to completion (often several ones in parallel), engage with senior client leadership, and support with expert input when relevant. <br/></span></p><p><span>We like to say that it's not a typical sustainability consulting hire. We are not looking for a CSRD expert. We're looking for an industrial mind: someone who understands how industrial products are designed, manufactured, sold, and operated, and who can apply a sustainability lens to that understanding. Industrial intuition matters more to us than the ESG vocabulary, because we can help you with the latter.</span></p><p><br/></p><strong>The profile: </strong><p><span>The strongest candidates tend to come from one of these paths:</span></p><ul><li><strong>Mid-to-senior program lead inside an industrial company:</strong> has run transformation, operations, or sustainability programs with multiple senior stakeholders and demanding deadlines.</li><li><strong>Delivery-oriented consultant</strong>: from an implementation-heavy practice (operations, supply chain, transformation).</li><li><strong>Sustainability program manager: </strong>has run sustainability transformations inside an industrial company end-to-end, not just designed them on slides.</li><li><strong>Engineer-turned-program-manager</strong>: has run technical programs in industry, then moved into consulting or central functions or advisory roles where execution matters as much as advice.</li></ul><p><span> </span></p><p><span>What you all share: willingness to roll up your sleeves, and a track record of closing things out rather than handing them off.</span></p><p><br/></p><strong>Industries you should know well</strong><p><span>We work primarily in:</span></p><ul><li>Manufacturing and industrial products </li><li>Building products and consumer durables</li><li>Materials, chemicals, and energy-intensive sectors</li></ul><p><br/></p><p><span>You don't need deep knowledge of all three, but you should bring strong fluency in at least one and be interested to learn about the others.</span></p><p><br/></p><strong>What you'll do</strong><ul><li>Lead client implementations end-to-end: from kickoff to closure, owning the timeline, deliverables, and stakeholder alignment. You are accountable for the engagement actually finishing well or even better continuing over time.</li><li>“Be the expert in the room” In workshops and senior client meetings, you synthesize, decide, and advise in real time: clients should feel they're getting Terraquota's expertise and experience.</li><li>Drive consensus across organisational lines, whether that's multiple functions inside one client, a client and its supplier ecosystem, or two or three Terraquota engagements running in parallel.</li><li>Hold senior stakeholder relationships: credible with VPs, heads of operations, and sustainability leads from week one.</li><li>Capture and feed back what you learn. Turn implementation experience into reusable Terraquota tools so that colleagues can learn from it and build on what worked well or less well. </li></ul><p><span> </span></p><strong>What we look for (must-haves)</strong><ul><li>Six to ten years of relevant professional experience, with a meaningful share spent running multi-stakeholder programs to completion.</li><li>Demonstrated track record of driving complex projects to closure on time (references should be able to point to programs you owned and finished)</li><li>Strong industrial fluency: comfortable in conversations with operations leaders, plant managers, and engineering teams at industrial companies.</li><li>Engineering or comparable technical degree strongly preferred (mechanical, industrial, chemical, materials, process); exceptional non-technical candidates considered.</li><li>Full English fluency; German strongly preferred for client and team work.</li><li>EU work authorization. We are not sponsoring visas for this role.</li></ul><p><br/></p><strong>Nice-to-have</strong><ul><li>Specific experience in our client sectors (manufacturing, building products, materials/chemicals/energy).</li><li>Hands-on familiarity with ESG Bingo “CSRD / ESRS, LCA, PCR, EPD, PPWR, WEEE, etc” would be useful but not required because we'll deepen you here.</li><li>Formal PM credentials (PMP, PRINCE2, IPMA) are welcome but not required (we care more about the track record)</li><li>Comfort presenting and writing in German or in another language.</li></ul><p><br/></p><strong>What we offer</strong><ul><li>Direct working relationships with the founders, the team and Terraquota partners</li><li>Berlin hybrid working setup (2 days home office/week); client travel several times a year (for 2-3 days)</li><li>A small industrial consultancy that isn't chasing scale but quality and depth with its clients, building long-term partnerships, live and work by its values and protect its employees freedom to do good work without compromising on science.</li></ul><p><br/></p><strong>About Terraquota</strong><p><span>We are a Berlin-based industrial consultancy and environmental lab combining engineering, ESG strategy, regulatory expertise, and recycling to help industries reduce their environmental footprint and build more resilient supply chains.
