What we are looking for

We're seeking a driven Analyst with exceptional writing and data analysis skills to join our purpose-driven team. The ideal candidate is eager to make a real impact and is keen to get involved in a variety of consulting services offered at Seismic.

About us

Here at Seismic we have a two-part vision: to help 10 million people join the shift by 2030 and to be the best place we have ever worked.

We foster a culture of continuous learning and mutual support, ensuring every changemaker feels empowered to grow and contribute their best.

We are not just talking about change; we are actively driving it. We ourselves are a B Corp and our team of B Corp, Net Zero, Reporting and Sustainability Comms experts collaborate to deliver measurable impact for clients ranging from innovative SMEs to global corporations. You can read some of their stories here.

 

We’re a close-knit team, working together towards a shared vision. All that’s missing is you!

About you

You believe that humanity and businesses need to make a seismic shift in the right direction and want to apply your consulting and analytical capabilities to help make that happen. At the same time you want to work in a friendly, collaborative and empathetic team who are delivering impactful projects for high-profile clients. You will especially enjoy working at Seismic if you have a growth mindset and are comfortable with uncertainty, as we are a fast-growing, agile and evolving business.

To be successful in this role you would need the following attributes:

• You are passionate about sustainability and have an interest in the corporate sustainability market.

• You have strong data analysis skills and are proficient in using Excel/GoogleSheets.

• You have great communication skills (verbal and written), especially when it comes to communicating recommendations to clients and colleagues.

• You have had some exposure to a professional working environment either from a start-up, a professional services firm, or a similar organisation.

• You act with empathy in a ‘human first’ way at all times.

• You are a practical “doer”, you are organised and you push yourself and others.

• You are comfortable giving feedback, even to senior management, with the spirit and intention needed to deliver our impact.

• You are excited about the opportunity to be part of a high-performing team, learning and growing with Seismic as we deliver our vision.

Importantly, you love client work and also working with teammates to build something great. You like a laugh but are not afraid to graft. You have plenty to offer, and know you have even more to learn.

You are proactive, have a keen eye for detail and enjoy juggling multiple projects and priorities and enjoy just the right amount of time pressure to help keep productive and focused. You are a ‘people person’ with a knack for building relationships.
