Lead strategic sustainability initiatives and reporting to propel REA’s ESG performance in a fast-paced, innovative environment

  • Open to applicants Australia wide
  • 13-month fixed term contract starting in August (paternity leave cover)

We're REA

With bold and ambitious goals, REA Group is changing the way the world experiences property. No matter where you're at on your property journey, we're here to help with every step - whether that's finding or financing your next home.

Our people are the key to our success. At the heart of everything we do, is a thriving culture centred around high performance and care. We are purpose driven and collaborative, which drives innovation and our ability to make a real impact. We’re proud to have been named in Australia’s “Top 5” Best Workplaces two years in a row, as well as being recognized as a Best Workplace for Women.

Where the team fits in

The Culture & Sustainability team is part of REA’s People & Culture Group. We work closely with senior leaders and subject matter experts across the business to advance REA’s Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives. Our Chief People & Sustainability Officer is ultimately responsible for people and sustainability strategies across REA’s global network.

REA is committed to responsible and sustainable business practices, underpinning everything we do. We believe ethical principles, transparency, and accountability are essential for our long-term performance.

About the role

We’re seeking a passionate Sustainability Manager to lead the implementation and reporting of our sustainability strategy. You will thrive in a fast-paced, agile environment, working collaboratively to execute our ESG strategy, prepare for Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS), and develop emissions reduction plans.

Key responsibilities

  • Develop, implement, and coordinate the organisation-wide (Australia & India) ESG strategy, including delivery and reporting.
  • Lead the implementation of our decarbonisation plan.
  • Oversee annual emissions calculations and reporting, including Watershed implementation.
  • Provide expert advice and collaborate with internal teams (Finance, Risk, Legal) on climate-related financial disclosures under ASRS.
  • Drive engagement and advocacy for sustainability initiatives across the organisation.
  • Support the GM Culture & Sustainability in leading REA’s ESG committee.
  • Prepare annual sustainability reports, develop measurement tools, and promote continuous improvement.
  • Manage assurance processes over climate and sustainability metrics, liaising with external consultants.
  • Lead data collection, analysis, and submission of ESG reports, including S&P CSA and MSCI ESG ratings.
  • Bring external sustainability insights into the business to challenge and educate on emerging trends and industry benchmarks.
  • Provide thought leadership on environmental topics such as science-based targets, net zero, and decarbonisation initiatives.
  • Manage one direct report.
  • Candidate profile

  • 7+ years of experience in sustainability, either in consulting or in-house roles.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Sustainability, Environmental Sciences, or related fields preferred.
  • Practical experience with climate reporting in accordance with ASRS S2 standards and proficiency in GHG accounting.
  • Experience with sustainability and integrated reporting.
  • Operational experience in sustainability strategies and decarbonisation plans.
  • Strong program management and communication skills.
  • Ability to influence senior leadership and work collaboratively with a positive attitude.
  • The REA experience

    We prioritize the health and well-being of our people, fostering an environment for learning and growth.

    Perks & Benefits

  • Hybrid and flexible working arrangements
  • Flexible leave options including birthday leave and additional leave purchases
  • Parental leave for primary and secondary carers
  • Community engagement programs including volunteering leave, grants, and donations
  • Hackdays for innovative ideas
  • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

    We value diversity and inclusion, believing diverse teams are more innovative and effective. If you’re enthusiastic and capable but don’t meet every requirement, we encourage you to apply.
