This is a remote position.
Sustainability is changing fast, and the work required to make it real inside large organisations has become more demanding, more specific, and more deeply embedded in business operations. As a result, Nordic Sustainability is building a pool of freelance experts and specialist collaborators we can draw on when client projects require a particular depth of knowledge we want to bring in.
This is not a call for generalists. It's a call for people who know their area well, whether that's a technical sustainability discipline, a business function, or a sector, and who understand how large organisations actually work from the inside.
This call isopen until31 August 2026and applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. We're looking for individuals operating as freelancers (or willing to set up a freelance structure) and specialist companies of 2 to 5 people interested in a closer collaboration.
What we're looking for
Sustainability specialistsWe're particularly interested in deep technical knowledge across:
· Climate transition planning and corporate climate strategy
- Climate risk assessment (physical and transition risk)
- Biodiversity and nature-related impacts and dependencies
- Chemicals management and product-related environmental compliance
- Circularity, waste, and materials strategy
- Supply chain due diligence and human rights (aligned with CSDDD, OECD Guidelines, and UNGPs)
- Carbon accounting, Scope 3 methodology, and GHG inventory design
Corporate function specialistsWe're equally interested in people who have worked inside large companies in functions where sustainability now sits — even if sustainability has not been their primary focus. Understanding how commercial decisions are made, how procurement works, or how products are developed is exactly the kind of knowledge that makes sustainability advice land.Relevant backgrounds include:
- Commercial strategy, finance, or business development
•Product design, innovation, and R&D
- Procurement, sourcing, and supply chain management
•Risk management and legal
•Operations and manufacturing
An understanding of sustainability is a bonus. A thorough understanding of how the business function actually operates is the baseline requirement.
Sectoral expertiseSector knowledge helps us deploy the right person at the right moment. The following sectors are particularly relevant to our current and anticipated client base:
· Manufacturing and industrial production
- Pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and life sciences
•Energy and utilities
•Financial services and investment
•Retail and consumer goods
What collaboration with Nordic Sustainability looks likeWe work with large multinationals on complex, high-stakes sustainability challenges. Projects typically sit at the intersection of regulatory requirements, commercial strategy, and operational change. Freelance collaborators are brought in to add specific expertise — you'll work alongside our core team, not independently.
This is project-based engagement. There is no guarantee of ongoing volume, but our intent is to build relationships that work over time for the right people.
Important: this call is for freelance or independent collaboration only — it is not a route into permanent employment at Nordic Sustainability. Applicants must either already operate as a freelancer or be willing to set up a freelance structure.
For small companies
Companies of between 2 and 5 people with a strong specialism that would complement Nordic Sustainability's work are also welcome to register interest in closer collaboration. This is a different conversation, not the freelancer pool described above, and should be directed to:
How to apply
To be considered for the freelance pool, please submit the following:1.Your CV (maximum 2 pages)
2.A short letter of motivation (maximum half a page) — tell us briefly what you do, why it's relevant to the work Nordic Sustainability does, and how you prefer to work
3.Completed questionnaire (following on the next pages)
We will review all applications on a rolling basis and reach out to those whose profiles are a strong match for our pipeline.
