We are looking for an exceptional Principal Consultant with deep expertise in Life Cycle Assessment and the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, as well as a track record of strategic service-line leadership and commercial growth. (Note: We are welcoming applicants based in the UK and EMEA for this role.)

This is a senior, client-facing role combining technical leadership, project delivery, business development and strategic growth. You will lead complex LCA and CBAM engagements, act as Anthesis’s lead consultant for CBAM work, and help clients understand and respond to the rapidly evolving commercial and regulatory landscape. Just as importantly, you will help grow our business.

This role is suited to an entrepreneurial sustainability innovator who can move comfortably between detailed technical analysis, senior client conversations and strategic business-building.

Why this role exists: LCA and product carbon footprinting are becoming increasingly important to corporate decision-making, regulatory compliance, product strategy and value-chain decarbonisation.

At the same time, EU CBAM is moving from a reporting obligation into a material financial and operational issue, while other countries look to implement similar poligies. Importers and suppliers need to understand their exposure, improve the quality of their emissions data, engage complex supply chains and make decisions about sourcing, product design, pricing and investment.

Anthesis has established technical capabilities, client relationships and delivery experience in both areas. We are now looking for a senior consultant who can lead high-quality delivery while helping us turn these capabilities into a stronger, more scalable and commercially successful offering.
