In our highly skilled environment, you’ll be enabled by cutting-edge technology and a culture of self-disruption, allowing you to do the best work of your life.


At PwC, our purpose is clear: to build trust in society and solve important problems.


This is a place to keep growing. You’ll learn from the best, take on meaningful challenges, and make a lasting impact for our clients, our communities, and Aotearoa.

Based in our Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland office, you’ll be part of PwC New Zealand’s ESG Reporting & Assurance team, working alongside colleagues across Assurance and PwC’s wider network.

As a Sustainability Manager, you’ll lead the planning and delivery of sustainability reporting and assurance engagements, manage day-to-day client relationships, coach team members, and help ensure work is delivered to PwC’s quality standards.


Your day-to-day could include:

  • Leading sustainability assurance engagements, including scoping, planning, execution, review and reporting.
  • Acting as a key day-to-day contact for clients, building trusted relationships and supporting engagement leaders.
  • Coaching and guiding engagement teams, including reviewing working papers and deliverables.
  • Supporting clients and teams with sustainability reporting frameworks and requirements, including Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards, Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards, GHG Protocol and PCAF.
  • Managing engagement quality, risk, timelines, resourcing and budgets to support successful outcomes.

  • A relevant Bachelor’s qualification in accounting, sustainability, or a closely related discipline.
  • 5+ years’ experience in professional services, audit and/or consulting, with strong exposure to sustainability reporting, GHG emissions measurement, ESG reporting and/or assurance.
  • Experience leading engagements or workstreams, including coaching others and reviewing deliverables.
  • Strong working knowledge of GHG Protocol, with PCAF and financed emissions knowledge an advantage.
  • Confidence working through complex and evolving technical matters, using sound judgement to develop pragmatic and defensible solutions.
  • Strong project management capability across scope, timelines, resourcing and quality.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills, with confidence engaging with client stakeholders.
  • Desirable experience includes sustainability assurance standards such as ISAE (NZ) 3000, ISAE (NZ) 3410 and/or ISSA (NZ) 5000, and experience supporting climate reporting requirements or assurance over climate metrics and disclosures.
