Summary Of Role & Key Responsibilities

Summary of Role

Anthesis is seeking a Product Sustainability Expert (Principal Consultant) with deep experience in sustainable chemicals and materials, product design or product development to join our Circularity and Value Chain Transformation team. This role focuses on helping clients design, evaluate, and scale sustainable products, integrating environmental performance into product strategy, business models, and effective design for sustainability.

You will bring a strong foundation in sustainable product development, design for sustainability, technical acumen in material science, engineering chemistry or a related field. You will have a comprehensive understanding of how product design choices influence emissions, resource use, safety, and regulatory compliance across manufacturing, use, and end‑of‑life.

This is a hybrid position and can be based out of any of our UK offices.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and manage multiple product sustainability and eco‑design projects across their lifecycle, ensuring excellent client management with on-time delivery, within scope, and with measurable environmental and business impact.

Thoughtfully inform client strategies, with a strong ability to understand the commercial benefits and tradeoffs implied when incorporating design for sustainability.

Have excellent project management skills, with the ability to delegate tasks, clearly articulate client needs, and oversee the full scope of a project.

Provide strong technical oversight, quality assurance and support to colleagues and junior team members, and ensure high quality, impactful deliverables for a client.

Advise clients on how to integrate sustainability into product design and development processes, including material selection, design playbooks, product architecture, durability, energy efficiency, and end‑of‑life considerations.

Translate sustainability goals into product‑level requirements and KPIs, working alongside design, manufacturing, engineering, EHS, procurement, and product management teams.

Guide the development of sustainable materials strategies, including recycled content, avoiding perfluorinated chemicals (PFAS), low‑carbon materials, hazardous substance reduction, and emerging alternatives.

Apply knowledge of EHS regulations and standards (e.g., RoHS, REACH, chemical management, product safety) to inform compliant and responsible product design.

Conduct quantitative modeling and scenario analysis to evaluate design trade‑offs, such as material substitution, energy efficiency improvements, or product lifetime extension.

Build and maintain trusted client relationships, identifying opportunities to expand product sustainability programmes and innovation initiatives.

Perform landscape assessments of industry benchmarks, competitor product strategies, and evolving regulations related to design for sustainability efforts.

Collaborate with internal Anthesis experts across strategy, climate, circularity, and digital services to deliver integrated product sustainability solutions.

Contribute to thought leadership on sustainable product design, life cycle thinking, and technology‑enabled sustainability transformation.
