Help build a more sustainable future — and make your expertise count

What if your experience in sustainability, health, safety and environmental management could do more than support an organisation’s compliance?

What if you could help shape how an international organisation operates, build sustainable practices from the ground up, and contribute to programmes designed to improve lives and break the cycle of poverty?

Project Yananai is looking for an experienced and purpose-driven Head of Sustainability to lead this work.

Project Yananai specialises in poverty alleviation programmes through sustainable skills development and compassionate humanitarian aid, working with communities and partners internationally to create lasting, positive change.

This is an opportunity to take genuine ownership of our sustainability agenda and help embed strong health, safety and environmental standards across an evolving international organisation.

The opportunity

As Head of Sustainability, you will provide strategic leadership across health, safety and environmental sustainability, ensuring these principles are embedded into our programmes, operations and organisational culture.

You will have the opportunity to build, influence and shape — developing policies and frameworks, working with teams across different countries and cultures, identifying risks and opportunities, and helping establish the standards that will support Project Yananai as it grows.

This is a role for someone who wants to use their professional expertise for meaningful social impact and who is excited by the opportunity to build something rather than simply maintain what already exists.

What you’ll do

• Lead the Sustainability Strategy
• Develop and implement a practical, forward-looking sustainability strategy aligned with Project Yananai’s mission and international operations, ensuring health, safety and environmental considerations are integrated across our programmes.
• Build strong HSE frameworks
• Develop and establish effective policies, procedures and protocols covering health, safety and environmental management, helping create a consistent approach across our global operations.
• Influence and collaborate globally
• Work closely with international teams, local communities, partners and stakeholders to understand sustainability challenges, identify risks and develop solutions that are practical, culturally appropriate and capable of creating lasting impact.
• Build a culture of sustainability
• Design and deliver engaging training and awareness initiatives for staff and volunteers, helping embed sustainability, health and safety into everyday decision-making and organisational culture.
• Measure impact and drive improvement
• Develop appropriate measures to monitor the effectiveness of sustainability initiatives, using data and insight to identify opportunities for improvement and communicate progress to stakeholders.
• Champion sustainability externally
• Represent Project Yananai on sustainability matters and help develop relationships with relevant governmental, non-governmental and other organisations to strengthen our expertise, partnerships and impact.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who combines professional expertise with a genuine desire to create positive change.

You will ideally bring:

• 3+ years’ experience in sustainability management, health and safety, environmental management or a related field.
• Experience developing and implementing sustainability, HSE or environmental strategies.
• Strong understanding of relevant policies, standards, risk management and compliance.
• The ability to translate strategy into practical policies, processes and measurable outcomes.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
• The confidence to work across cultures, countries and different organisational environments.
• A collaborative and pragmatic approach, with the ability to influence without relying solely on formal authority.
• A genuine commitment to social impact, environmental responsibility and community empowerment.
• Experience within the charity, non-profit or international development sector would be advantageous, but it is not essential.

Why join Project Yananai?

• Make your expertise matter
• Use your professional experience to help shape an organisation focused on tackling poverty and creating sustainable opportunities for communities.
• Build something from the ground up
• This is an opportunity to have real ownership and influence. You won’t simply be stepping into an established framework — you’ll help create it.
• Work internationally
• Collaborate with colleagues, communities and stakeholders across different countries and cultural environments.
• Make a lasting contribution
• Help establish the standards, culture and practices that can support Project Yananai’s growth and long-term impact.
• Flexible and purpose-driven
• The role is designed as a flexible voluntary opportunity that can work alongside your existing professional or personal commitments, with remote working and periodic travel.

Could this be your next opportunity to make a difference?

If you’re an experienced sustainability, health, safety or environmental professional who wants to apply your expertise to something with genuine social purpose, we’d love to hear from you.

This is an opportunity to bring your knowledge, challenge conventional thinking and help build sustainable practices that can support meaningful impact for years to come.

Project Yananai is a UK-registered charity (No. 1209060) and an equal opportunity organisation. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, cultures and experiences.

Sway

We create seaweed-based compostable packaging that replaces plastic while protecting oceans and ecosystems.

Sway is a material innovation company scaling home compostable, seaweed-based solutions for plastic. We've been recognized as a TIME Best Invention of 2025, a Fast Company World-Changing Idea, and winner of the TOM FORD Plastic Innovation Prize. Our technology drops into traditional plastic infrastructure while working to replenish ocean health, promote regenerative materials, and create a more inclusive environmental movement.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
Over 12 weeks, you'll help us climb Google's rankings for high-impact keywords like "seaweed packaging," "compostable packaging," and "next-generation materials." Your work will directly shape how people discover Sway and, ultimately, how they access alternatives to conventional plastics.

Phase 1 (Weeks 1-3): Audit

• Conduct a comprehensive technical SEO audit of Sway's website (site structure, performance, indexation, user experience)
• Analyze current keyword rankings and competitive positioning
• Identify content gaps and quick-win opportunities
• Deliver a clear, prioritized audit report with recommendations

Phase 2 (Weeks 3-4): Strategy & Roadmap

• Develop a strategic execution plan prioritizing high-impact opportunities
• Recommend on-page, technical, and content improvements
• Identify keyword targets aligned with Sway's business priorities

Phase 3 (Weeks 4-12): Implementation & Quick Wins

Desirable Skills:

• Experience with Rankmath or Semplice (platforms Sway uses within Wordpress)

• Portfolio or case studies showing measurable SEO wins
• Interest in material science, climate tech, or sustainability

WHY THIS MATTERS
Search visibility is how the world discovers that seaweed-based alternatives exist. Every keyword you optimize, every page you improve, and every ranking we climb puts Sway closer to the brands and distributors actively looking for solutions to plastic packaging. Your work will help scale a material innovation that directly improves ocean health, our climate, and our worldwide waste problem.

SUPPORT & WHAT YOU'LL GAIN
We'll set you up for success:

• Mentorship: Direct collaboration with our Head of Marketing & Communications; access to Sway's founding team and product/R&D insights
• Feedback: Monthly check-ins, strategic guidance, and technical support as you navigate implementation
