Sustainability Specialist

at  REA Group

We’re REA
REA Group
is not your average digital business. From humble beginnings in a garage in Melbourne’s east in 1995, we have grown into a leading global digital business, specialising in property.
With bold and ambitious goals, we are changing the way the world experiences property. No matter where you’re at on your property journey, we’re here to help with every step - whether that’s finding or financing your next home.
Our people are the key to our success. At the heart of everything we do, is a thriving culture centred around high performance and care. We are purpose driven and collaborative, which drives innovation and our ability to make a real impact. As such, we’re proud to be named in Australia’s “Top 5” Best Workplaces two years in a row, as well as being recognised as a Best Workplace for Women.
Where the team fits in
The Sustainability team is part of REA’s People & Culture Group. We work closely with senior leaders and subject matter experts across the business to progress REA’s Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives. Our Chief People & Sustainability Officer is ultimately responsible for people and sustainability strategies across REA’s global network.

You will be comfortable in a fast paced, agile environment and work collaboratively to execute our ESG strategy, prepare for mandatory Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS), deliver ESG reporting and emissions reductions plans.

Who we’re looking for

• You’ll need to demonstrate your skills and experience in sustainability, and you’ve probably got 3 - 5 years professional experience in a similar role (either consulting or in-house).
• A Bachelor’s degree, ideally in Sustainability or Environmental Sciences would be valued, but we’re more interested in who you are than where you’ve been.
• Practical experience in sustainability or climate change strategy execution; carbon accounting (in line with recognised standards and guidelines such as Climate Active, the GHG Protocol and SBTi) or ESG reporting
• Program management and communications experience will help you get the job done
