ABOUT THIS ROLE

As a Principal Sustainability Strategist at Quantis, you will occupy a senior leadership role driving strategic development within the Fashion and Sporting Goods sector. In this role, you will establish and nurture high impact, C-suite level client relationships, positioning Quantis as the preferred partner for sustainability transformation.

You will be responsible for significantly contributing to the company’s revenue growth and strengthening our market presence in the sector. Additionally, you will lead large-scale, transformative sustainability projects, develop innovative service offerings, and build strong external visibility for Quantis in the marketplace.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

This role blends strategic sales leadership, commercial team management, value-based consulting, and executive client engagement.

Business Development & Client Value Creation

  • Network actively with senior leadership on the client side, establishing trusted advisory relationships and unlocking transformational conversations.
  • Own and drive the full sales process with ambitious targets co-defined with the Branch MD and Global Sector Lead.
  • Position Quantis as the go-to strategic partner for sustainable business transformation.
  • Tease out the full business integration potential of sustainability, going beyond compliance to value creation :
  • Risk mitigation (e.g., climate risk, regulatory exposure)
  • Cost savings (e.g., supply chain efficiency, resource optimization)
  • Revenue protection & growth (e.g., brand equity, customer loyalty)

Project Leadership & Delivery Excellence

  • Lead large-scale sustainability strategy projects with high visibility and complexity.
  • Align closely with BCG teams, creating joint offerings and hybrid project delivery models.
  • Ensure commercial rigor in pricing and profitability while maintaining high impact delivery.
  • Review transformation journeys regularly with clients to maintain alignment and momentum.
  • Leadership & Team Development

  • Lead and coach teams on the commercial side of consulting delivery, mentoring consultants with a focus on business impact orientation.
  • Demonstrate the consultancy mindset : structured problem solving, client empathy, and the ability to guide organizations through ambiguity.
  • Foster boldness and proactivity. Able to seek out value creation deals.
  • Innovation & Sector Thought Leadership

  • Co-develop innovative sustainability strategy offerings specific to the fashion and sporting goods space.
  • Contribute to the strategic sector agenda, defining emerging priorities and establishing Quantis’ point of view in this rapidly evolving landscape.
  • WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS NOW

    With growing scrutiny on ESG agendas and political headwinds challenging environmental progress, this role is designed for someone who can communicate value beyond virtue—someone who understands how to make the business case for sustainability compelling to any boardroom.

    We need a commercial leader who is also a strategic thinker, an advisor who can partner with C-level executives and guide them toward decisions that align profitability with purpose.

  • 10+ years in strategic consulting or enterprise account management with demonstrated success in executive relationship building and business development.
  • Deep understanding of sustainability within the Fashion & Sporting Goods sector, with a track record of driving strategic client initiatives.
  • Experience working across supply chains, regulatory landscapes, and innovation cycles.
  • Skilled communicator and facilitator with executive presence and the ability to influence C-suite stakeholders.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset, comfortable leading initiatives in complex or ambiguous settings.
