We have a new opportunity for someone to play an important part in our journey to Net Zero.
The live events industry doesn't have a great reputation when it comes to sustainability - we build awe inspiring events, then we take them down.
Historically, this has created a lot of waste.We're committed to breaking this cycle and leading the industry in how we design and deliver experiences with sustainability at their heart.
And we need someone to help us achieve this.***
About us
We are Bray Leino Events, 100+ event professionals, working out of offices in Bristol, London, Devon, Stratford and Chicago.
We deliver upwards of 200 events every year, from exhibitions and conferences, to summits, galas, awards, product launches, roadshows and everything in between.
We work all over the globe, face to face and virtually, with brands, businesses, charities, and governments who all have one thing in common - they have a key message that needs to be delivered through the unique environment of a live event.
And we have great time doing it

About the job
We've published an ambitious Carbon Reduction Plan and delivering it will require process improvements and changes to much of our business and the way we deliver our projects around the world.
That will mean helping us create KPIs so we can measure and track our progress, always on the look-out for practical ways we can do better.
You'll gather data and information from delivery teams, suppliers, and clients to feed into our TRACE carbon calculations - both on projects and across our wider operations - and keep our Senior Leadership Team up to date with our progress.
