At Made, we don’t just talk sustainability—we make it happen.
We work with businesses that want real impact, not just a shiny strategy deck.
As our Sustainability Lead, you’ll turn sustainability ambitions into concrete strategies and actions, helping clients build business models that make sense for the planet and their bottom line.
No greenwashing. No empty promises. Just results.
This is a leadership role with a sharp commercial edge. You’ll drive business development, manage accounts, land new clients, and grow our sustainability practice. You’ll challenge businesses to go beyond the obvious, guiding them from ambition to execution—defining strategy, setting up pilots, and scaling real-world solutions. You’ll mentor a team of (visual/product) designers, business analysts, and strategists, making sure every project delivers more than just good intentions.
