An exceptional opportunity for a mid-level ESG Consultant to shape the future of AgriTech in Melbourne.
Farming data, carbon accounting and food traceability are converging fast, and AgriTech businesses are under growing pressure to prove their sustainability credentials rather than just claim them.
This startup builds technology that helps agricultural producers measure and reduce their environmental footprint, and it needs an ESG Consultant who understands both the science and the commercial reality.
Melbourne's agricultural tech scene is small but serious, and this role sits right at the centre of it.
Here's what you'll be doing: Assess environmental, social and governance performance across a portfolio of agricultural clients and internal product lines Build and refine ESG reporting frameworks that align with Australian and international sustainability standards Translate farm-level and supply chain data into clear ESG metrics that clients can actually act on Work directly with the product team to shape features that track carbon, water use and biodiversity impact Prepare client-facing reports and present findings to stakeholders who range from agronomists to investors Keep the business ahead of changing ESG regulation across Australia's agricultural sector Here are the skills you'll need: Two to four years' experience in ESG consulting, sustainability reporting or a closely related environmental role Working knowledge of ESG frameworks such as GRI, TCFD or Australian sustainability reporting requirements Comfort with data, including the ability to interpret spreadsheets and translate numbers into plain-English recommendations Genuine interest in agriculture or environmental science.
This isn't a role you can fake enthusiasm for Strong written and verbal communication, since you'll be explaining technical findings to non-technical audiences often Comfortable operating with ambiguity and shifting priorities, typical of an early-stage company finding its footing Key perks and benefits: Salary of A$44,500 to A$58,500, depending on experience Equity in the business, so your work builds something you actually own a piece of Hybrid working arrangement, splitting time between the Melbourne office and home Flexible hours and a genuinely remote-friendly culture when you need it A learning and development budget to keep building your ESG expertise Why pursue a career in AgriTech?
Agriculture produces roughly a quarter of global emissions, which means AgriTech isn't a niche corner of the climate conversation.
It's close to the centre of it.
Melbourne has become one of Australia's strongest hubs for this kind of work, with a cluster of startups, research institutions and investors who understand farming and technology in equal measure.
Few sectors reward good ESG thinking as directly, because the environmental stakes and the commercial upside move together here.
