SUSTAINABILITY MANAGER

at  Medialab

THE OPPORTUNITY:

As the UK’s leading independent media agency, not only are we passionate about creating impactful media strategies, we’re also dedicated to making a meaningful difference to society and the environment. Our purpose driven approach is rooted in our core values, and we are on an exciting journey, fostering a workforce which reflects the culturally rich society we live in, building upon our inclusive culture and towards a more sustainable future.
We are seeking a Sustainability & DEI Manager to lead our efforts in this area, which provides an incredible opportunity for someone who is not only passionate about strategic development of such initiatives, but is also keen to get hands-on with implementation of sustainability, with a focus on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and social responsibility projects, with the support of our leadership team, HR and Communities (Employee Resource Groups). This newly created role requires an understanding of the key pillars which make up our ESG strategy, namely environmental, social (including Diversity, Equity & Inclusion), and economic.

WHO WE ARE:

Medialab is the UK’s leading independent media agency, and one of the fastest growing. We’re a media agency that’s made differently. Purpose-led, data-driven, founder-run and proudly independent.
Our independence means we can focus 100% on doing the right thing to secure success for our clients and our brilliant people. We work with a wide variety of clients including SunLife,Standard Life, Laithwaites Wine, EMMA, Save the Children, Mind, Guide Dogs, Alzheimer’s Society, RNLI and Clearscore.
We’re a diverse team of 150 people (and growing), based near Oxford Circus. Our people-first, purpose-driven culture has been key to our success. We commit to creating a more sustainable future through our partnership with FuturePlus, and foster a diverse and inclusive culture, though a number of DEI Communities to drive real change. We offer a supportive environment for working parents, carers, those who are (peri)menopausal and anyone else who needs it, and flexible working opportunities to all, from day one.
Our entrepreneurial spirit means success is rewarded and there are no limits to what you can achieve, which our employees agree with, by supporting our place in Campaign’s ‘Best Places to work’ for 4 years in a row, and we recently won Silver in Campaign’s Agency of the Year Awards.

ROLE OVERVIEW:

As our Sustainability Manager, you’ll be at the forefront of integrating sustainable practices and DEI principles into every facet of our operations. This role is not just about leading initiatives, but about inspiring and creating change, educating our team, and embedding these crucial values into our daily practices. You’ll have the autonomy to innovate and the support to implement meaningful strategies that not only enhance our workplace, but also our broader community and the work we do for our clients.
