  • Act as a liaison between internal teams and external stakeholders on ESG matters
  • Lead ESG risk assessments and due diligence processes
  • Support integration of ESG metrics into financial planning and analysis
  • Track market disclosures and align with industry best practices

What you will bring:

  • 5+ years' experience in ESG, sustainable finance, or related fields
  • Strong knowledge of ESG frameworks including ISSB, AASB, and TCFD
  • Experience working in dynamic, cross-functional environments
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills
  • Ability to interpret and communicate both financial and non-financial ESG data
  • A proactive mindset and passion for sustainability and ethical sourcing

What we can offer you:

  • Inclusive and collaborative team culture
  • A flat, fast-paced business where every idea matters
  • Hybrid work model
  • Team Member discount of 15% for you and an immediate family member
  • Paid parental leave for primary and secondary caregivers
  • Employee Assistance Program – free and confidential support for you and your family

Ready to make an impact and help shape the future of sustainability at The Reject Shop?
and be part of a business that's evolving, growing, and ready for what's next.
