More than just another
ESG consultancy.

We aim to transform our economy by partnering with ambitious companies, one impactful project at a time. Fueled by values but with a pragmatic approach, we are more than just another ESG consultancy. Read on to discover how you can contribute to transforming the world with us.

Wanting to get into sustainability? We give you the opportunity to do so

Finding your first job can be a struggle, as employers often look for candidates with experience. We are specifically seeking recent graduates—this is your chance!

Want to help organizations transform to meet the world’s needs? 

You’re intrinsically motivated and see that organizations play a key role in the transition we all need to take. You want to be involved in shaping and reaching the sustainability goals of organizations. 

Want to switch to sustainability? 

You chose a study at a young age, and during your studies, you realized that your internal motivation and interest have shifted to sustainability. That’s great! We believe everyone can learn about sustainability management, and we need people with diverse backgrounds to create change. We definitely also look forward to your application if you have gained sustainability knowledge (during your studies). 

Looking for an entry-level position? 

You started looking for entry-level positions in sustainability management and realized that many of them require 3–5 years of work experience and a specific degree. We offer you the opportunity to start straight from university to build or expand that experience so that in a few years, organizations will be knocking on your door. 

A place to learn, grow and have fun.

At The Overview Effect, we provide you with the opportunity to learn on the job about real sustainability challenges that organizations face. Through dedicated internal and external training, you get additional support to grow your knowledge.

 

Learning on the job.

  • Work together with more experienced team members on specific assignments. 
  • Opportunity to provide interim support at an organization and become part of their team. 
  • Broad range of topics to work on, from greenhouse gas calculation, transition plans, or risk assessments to human rights due diligence and sustainability reporting.

Specific trainings. 

  • Sustainability knowledge: We will grow your sustainability knowledge with hands-on training on topics such as greenhouse gas calculations, materiality assessments, and human rights risk assessments.
  • Advisory knowledge: We will teach you how to use specific tools to make you a well-rounded expert, from project management to Excel, presentation skills, and client management. 
  • Personal leadership: With our external training partner, you will discover who you are, what drives you, and what gives you energy. Getting to know yourself better will help you identify what you want to do now and in the future.

The comfort of being part of something larger. 

  • Learn from our experienced team members who have years of experience in sustainability management.
  • Be part of a group of 6–8 young professionals who will follow the training together, learning from and supporting each other.
  • Enjoy a nice office at The Social Impact Factory in Amsterdam and flex desks in Utrecht.
  • Network, social connections, and fun activities
