What Makes Our Process Different?

No CV Bias: We’re changing the game. Your CV will need to be attached but won’t be seen by the hiring team until the final stage of the recruitment process. We focus on potential, not past experience.

You’ll be based in Manchester, where we encourage office presence to help you learn, connect, and thrive. Hybrid working options may be available depending on the role.

Your Role Will Include:

• Updating and analysing our education portal and coordinating the company‑wide volunteering programme across Great Britain and Ireland, including engagement logistics, internal communications, and reporting.
• Working with the Sustainability team on projects and activities that support Siemens’ sustainability mission and framework.
• Contributing to talent programmes, work experience placements, future‑talent initiatives, and associated communication plans.
• Supporting carbon reporting requirements and contributing to sustainability data analysis and insights.
• Planning and delivering sustainability‑focused events and educational outreach activities, including scheduling, logistics, and communications to boost employee engagement.
• Managing charitable account activities and stakeholder relationships to build long‑term partnerships with clients, education providers, and community organisations.
