Are you passionate about turning sustainability ambition into measurable outcomes and ready to help the NHS progress toward net zero through practical, scalable solutions? We’re looking for a Sustainability Lead to drive Ambu UK’s sustainability agenda with a clear focus on circularity, responsible operations, and customer impact.

This is a high-visibility role where you’ll translate global ESG priorities into local action, strengthen Ambu’s position as a trusted sustainability partner, and ensure our sustainability narrative is evidence-led, commercially relevant, and aligned with regulatory and stakeholder expectations.

A major part of your remit will be leading the UK launch and commercialisation of the Ambu® Recircle take-back and recycling programme, an initiative designed to help hospitals reduce waste through a traceable, compliant recycling process.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the development and execution of Ambu UK’s sustainability strategy, converting global ESG priorities into clear plans, timelines, and measurable outcomes.
• Embed sustainability across commercial, operational, and clinical engagement, making it part of “how we do business”.
• Lead the UK launch and commercialisation of Recircle, including customer onboarding, operational delivery, and value communication aligned to NHS sustainability targets.
• Ensure alignment with evolving UK regulatory expectations, procurement frameworks, and industry standards
• Build compelling, credible environmental and commercial value propositions that support Hospitals net zero and efficiency goals.
• Develop an evidence-led sustainability narrative and ensure consistent, compliant communication across internal and external channels.
• Track, analyse, and report sustainability KPIs and impact metrics, turning progress into insight and action.
• Provide market intelligence and stakeholder insight back to the Global ESG team to shape ongoing strategy and priorities.
• Build partnerships across customers and the wider ecosystem (industry, non-profits, government, academia) to accelerate collective action on sustainability challenges.
• Lead internal engagement and capability-building so teams can confidently embed sustainability into decisions and customer conversations.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience implementing sustainability projects end-to-end.
• Knowledge of NHS net zero direction and how sustainability is increasingly reflected in procurement expectations.
• Confidence navigating sustainability-related regulation/standards and translating them into practical business action.
• Strong stakeholder engagement skills with the ability to influence across internal teams and external customers.
• The ability to develop high-quality marketing/sales support materials and manage multiple priorities under tight timelines.
• Professional communication skills, plus the energy to motivate others and bring people with you.
• A self-starter mindset and a full, clean driving licence (this is a hybrid-based role with frequent travel).
• Ideally degree-level education (or equivalent practical experience), plus strong digital fluency (Word/Excel/PowerPoint/Outlook/CRM).
• Medical devices/MedTech experience is desirable.
