The opportunity

Netwealth is committed to creating a brighter future through meaningful corporate sustainability initiatives that foster positive environmental and social impact. We're looking for a hands-on Sustainability Manager to keep our sustainability program moving forward and deliver on key commitments.

This is an individual contributor role. You'll be the primary point of contact for sustainability at Netwealth, so you need to be confident working independently and delivering outcomes without a large team or specialist support around you.

As Sustainability Manager, you will:

• Maintain and execute our sustainability framework and governance processes.

• Ensure compliance with accounting standards, modern slavery obligations, and ESG reporting requirements.

• Prepare and deliver transparent reporting, including our Annual Corporate Sustainability Report and Modern Slavery Statement.

• Monitor sustainability-related risks (climate, regulatory, reputational) and keep stakeholders informed.

• Support our employee-led Impact Committee with secretariat duties and practical guidance.

• Collaborate with internal teams to embed sustainability into day-to-day operations.

About you

You're a capable sustainability professional with the confidence to work independently and the experience to deliver results. You know how to take ownership, keep projects moving, and ensure compliance with key standards and frameworks. This role suits someone who's ready to step up and lead delivery. A pragmatic expert who gets things done.

You'll bring:

• Solid experience in sustainability, ESG, or corporate responsibility—typically 3–5 years in a similar role.

• Strong knowledge of accounting standards, modern slavery legislation, and ESG frameworks.

• Proven ability to manage reporting and compliance requirements independently.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for engaging stakeholders and preparing reports.

• Confidence working without direct sustainability peers, comfortable being the subject matter expert.
