Introducing the Trainline Sustainability Team 👋

At Trainline, environmental sustainability sits at the heart of what we do. Through our technology and data, we make rail travel easier and help people choose more sustainable ways to get around. Rail already offers a far greener alternative to flying or driving, and we believe we have a genuine role to play in supporting the wider industry, businesses and governments to hit their own emissions targets. We were one of the first tech companies to have science-based net zero targets officially validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), committing to net zero by 2040 and a 55% reduction in scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030. This role sits within our sustainability team, working closely with our Company Secretary and Director of Sustainability. You'll take the lead on embedding our emissions data platform, driving supplier engagement on our net-zero journey, and acting as an ambassador for corporate sustainability both inside and outside the business. You'll collaborate closely with teams across Trainline who own supplier relationships and data, as well as with senior stakeholders, to keep momentum going on one of our most important long-term commitments. In this role as the Senior Corporate Sustainability Manager, you will...🚄
