Cape Town, South Africa Exodus Full time

Exodus Adventure Travels in particular has built firm and far-reaching foundations in sustainable tourism during its 50 years of existence. Over the last few years, this ethos has been further embedded and expanded through the establishment of a comprehensive sustainability strategy (our People, Places, and Planet plan), the launch of the Exodus Adventure Travels Foundation and, as of January this year, becoming a Certified B Corp. We are now looking at our sustainability goals for the next 3 years, as well as working closely with the wider Travelopia group on developing and implementing a robust and forward-thinking sustainability plan, decarbonizing our operations, pursuing a nature-positive future, and other related activities.

As such, we seek a driven, committed Product Sustainability Manager to support and further accelerate the implementation of our sustainability activity through our trip design and delivery. As well as delivering on existing initiatives, there is a lot of scope in this role for innovation and creative thinking, as we look for further ways to ensure our adventures bring positive impact for people, places, and the planet.

**What you will be doing?**:
You will report to the Head of Product and also work closely with Exodus’ Head of Sustainability and Sustainability Executive.

Pursuing our product-related nature positive goals, including:

- Carbon measurement and reduction.
- Waste reduction.
- Animal welfare management.
- Managing our Citizen Science Departures.
- Seeking other opportunities to maximise in-trip nature engagement and support.

- Further integration of positive social impact into our itineraries.
- Enhancing economic impact for destination communities.

- Advising, creating, and delivering supplier training materials and resources.
- Identifying opportunities across our global supply chain.
- Managing sustainability-related product team working groups.
- Informing/ delivering any product sustainability-related content to the Exodus marketing team.

**What we are looking for**:

- Someone with a passion for purpose-driven business, with some experience working to embed sustainability within an organisation. Experience working with suppliers is ideal but not vital.
- Ideally, someone with travel product/ commercial experience, with good market knowledge, who can identify opportunities for sustainability-related products, assess their financial viability, and build/implement a ‘roadmap’ to get them live.
- A relational standout colleague; someone who would be energized by engaging, influencing, and collaborating across a broad team and a global supplier network, and could represent the company at events and forums.
- An enthusiastic, proactive, adaptable attitude with the confidence and ability to come up with ideas and solutions, and see through their implementation.
- Excellent attention to detail and accuracy, with an organized, well-structured, reliable approach to managing and prioritizing projects and tasks, and an ability to manage and analyze data well.
- Shown 3 years of working experience, with sound experience in office-based working protocols, processes, and software, including Excel.

**Employee Benefits**:

- Competitive salary.
- Health benefits.
- Employee Assistance Programme.
- Various employee discounts and offers.
- Career progression opportunities.
- Childcare vouchers & cycle to work scheme.
- 21 days of annual leave (pro-rata) plus public holidays, 2 charity days per year, and a bonus day off for your birthday.
- Contributory Pension scheme.

We believe people are happier and perform best when they can be their true selves, and that diverse teams deliver better results.

Together we will cultivate a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment, where everyone can thrive. We are committed to driving change through increasing awareness of, and counteracting unconscious bias; building an inclusive culture, and embracing diversity in all its dimensions.
