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.
