Global Corporate Responsibility Engagement Manager
IHG
**About Corporate Responsibility**
Responsible business is ingrained in the fabric of IHG and central to our purpose of delivering True Hospitality for Good to our wonderful guests, colleagues, and hotel owners across the globe. We believe that how we grow as a company and work to be a greater force for good are inextricably linked, so we’re empowering our people, and working with our industry, to help shape the future of responsible travel.
In 2021 we launched Journey to Tomorrow, our 10-year action plan of clear commitments to drive change for our people, communities, and planet over the next decade, aligned to the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
We know that it’s never been more crucial that we move fast and act now, and our corporate responsibility team is at the heart of this, supporting IHG’s three operating regions – The Americas, Europe, Middle East, Asia & Africa (EMEAA) and Greater China. We also hold responsibility for leading all ESG reporting activities and communicating progress to a variety of highly engaged stakeholders.
**The Role**
In this role, you would be responsible for driving engagement on sustainability across both hotels and corporate functions, focusing on the Corporate Responsibility (CR) elements of IHG’s Journey to Tomorrow (JTT) agenda. You would map out current engagement initiatives and work towards a future state that integrates sustainability more deeply into both hotel and corporate operations.
This includes collaborating with teams across Operations, Learning & Development, Procurement, and Technology to embed sustainability into various platforms, like General Manager learning pathways and corporate onboarding modules. You would also manage and update learning resources, including e-learning modules on carbon, energy, water, waste, and community engagement, and internal communications, ensuring both hotel and corporate colleagues are equipped with the latest information.
Additionally, the role involves developing bespoke materials for specific functions, coordinating employee networks to share insights on sustainability, and working with regional teams to deliver tailored training for both hotel and corporate audiences. Overall, you would play a key role in aligning IHG’s global workforce with its long-term sustainability goals.
**What we need from you**
We're looking for a candidate with a strong operational background, ideally someone who has experience embedding sustainability into day-to-day practices. You’ll need to be a strategic thinker with the ability to create high impact, engaging materials that resonate with a variety of audiences. A key part of the role will involve translating complex sustainability concepts into simple, bite-sized information that’s easy to understand.
Strong stakeholder management skills are essential, as you'll be working closely with both hotel teams and corporate colleagues. A proven ability to build relationships and influence senior stakeholders will be critical to your success. Additionally, experience in hotel operations and a solid understanding of environmental issues and key trends will enable you to effectively guide sustainability efforts across the business.
