Hi! I’m currently a tax manager w/ 6 YOE in big4 but looking to transition to ESG/CSR/sustainability. Anyone have experience in these roles and can share their thoughts on transition and what they think about the work? Referrals would be great!

Since the SEC did release some info a few weeks ago, ESG reporting at the very least will be a hot topic for companies.

You maaaaybe want to think about taking a wee bit of a step down to grow into this career (I know I know, not fun) BUT check out Moodys Analytics. They have an amazing ESG team and are still building. Sometimes all it takes in a sustainability class to showcase your interest and networking with the right professionals. I always push “less qualified” candidates with a real interest in the SME towards hiring managers because people who care about what they do, typically perform better. Good luck with your search!!

Appreciate your response! Can you elaborate on taking a step down? Like rank? I’m not super focused on transitioning from a tax manager to a sustainability manager. Completely understandable I’d have to build up skills and technical knowledge to deliver on that level.

In the meantime I’ll take a look at Moodys!

There are ESG roles at Deloitte and I'm happy to refer if interested!
