Environment Manager

As an Environment Manager, you will play a key role in shaping and delivering Virgin Media O2’s environmental and sustainability ambitions. Sitting within Corporate Affairs, you’ll ensure the business can confidently measure, monitor and report on its environmental impact, using data to drive meaningful action and progress against our Responsible Business Plan.

In this role, you’ll lead on environmental data and reporting, supporting critical initiatives such as Scope 3 decarbonisation and external disclosures. You’ll work across the organisation and with external partners to strengthen our approach to nature, biodiversity and environmental management systems, including ISO14001. 

Alongside this, you’ll contribute to wider sustainability programmes, helping to embed best practice and deliver tangible outcomes that support our journey to net zero.

Please note, this is a hybrid role with an expectation of attending our Paddington office once a week.

Our ways of working

We’re a flexible-first organisation, because we know people do their best work when they have choice and clarity. To support meaningful collaboration, we ask everyone to spend at least eight days a month connecting with each other in person.That doesn’t just mean time in the office – it could be team meetings, offsites, volunteering days, cross-functional projects, or away days. What matters is making those moments count – so when we come together, it benefits everyone.

Accessible, inclusive and equitable for all

We believe a better tomorrow starts with the choices we make today. That means moving the dial on diversity, building equity into everything we do and putting inclusion at the heart of our business.

Virgin Media O₂ is an equal opportunities employer and we work hard to remove bias and barriers. We want every person who joins us – and everyone thinking about joining us – to feel seen, heard and supported.

When you work with us, you’ll have access to our award-winning employee network groups. These communities bring people together, champion allyship and create uplifting spaces where you can learn, share and feel part of something bigger. They play a big role in helping people feel connected from day one.

• Strong data management skills with knowledge of the GHG (Greenhouse Gas) Protocol and SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) in a corporate context
• Experience using environmental software solutions to support measurement and reporting
• Proven ability to use data to drive accountability, action and impact

Next steps

If this feels like a place where you can belong, we’d love to see what you can do. Once you apply, the next steps might include a call with a recruiter, a video interview, an interview with the hiring manager and a task or assessment.

We’ll also ask about any adjustments you might need, and we’ll do our best to make them happen.

We review applications and interview throughout the advert window, so it’s worth applying sooner rather than later.
