Hey sustainability professional!

If you responded YES and YES, keep reading, because we are now looking for a Sustainability Manager to join DevCo Partners' growing team, and this position could be for you!

DevCo is a long-term oriented active owner and development partner dedicated to building and developing world leading companies in selected niche markets. DevCo provides its companies with hands-on operational resources, strategic support and significant financial resources to support step changes in performance. DevCo focuses on individual investments into medium-sized companies, which have considerable growth potential. DevCo is currently a significant owner of three global niche leaders: Bluefors, Medix Biochemica and Vexve. DevCo's aim is to become an active owner in a handful of companies with revenues of €50-500 million.

As DevCo's Sustainability Manager, you will be responsible for the sustainability work of DevCo as a whole. You will drive forward DevCo's sustainability roadmap and be responsible for the sustainability related reporting. Working in close co-operation with DevCo's investment team, you will also support DevCo's portfolio companies in their sustainability work. In your day-to-day work, you will work both at a strategic level as well as hands-on to advance DevCo's sustainability roadmap. You will report to DevCo's CFO.

Work around sustainability forms the core of your work, but you will also be ready to roll up your sleeves for other tasks related to DevCo's operations, such as communication.

DevCo's office is located in Eteläesplanadi.

This position is a perfect match for you if:

- you have at least five years of relevant post-graduate work experience from working with sustainability topics e.g. in the field of private investments or consultancy, having thus gained a deep understanding of relevant regulation (SFDR and CSRD) and, preferably, you've been working with (portfolio) companies on their operational and strategic sustainability topics;

- you have experience of successfully driving significant sustainability-related projects and developments within client organizations and/or (portfolio) companies;

- you have a solid track record of excellence in academic and professional environments;

- you have an agile mindset and enjoy working in an environment where you get to roll up your sleeves, take ownership and get things going;

- you have a genuine personal interest in working with sustainability in the field of investing and active ownership;

- you have capacity and interest in broadening your role beyond sustainability work;

- you have great communication and presentation skills, can effectively communicate and collaborate with senior management (incl. board) and are fluent in both Finnish and English; and

- you have a relevant higher education degree (e.g M. Sc. in Economics or an LL.M degree).

DevCo offers you:

- A meaningful role: by being responsible for DevCo's sustainability work you have a key role in ensuring that DevCo's actions create real positive impact, and you get to work with DevCo's companies that participate in solving important global challenges.

- Growth opportunity: this is a new role at DevCo which will provide you with exceptional growth and learning opportunities.

- A unique operating model: you get to work in a company with a truly unique operating model where the key elements are focused investment activity, hands-on value creation and long-term ownership.
