Are you a passionate commercial and ecological professional eager to make a tangible impact on ecosystem recovery?

At Ecosulis, we are pioneers in rewilding science and policy with over 30 years of experience. As a certified B Corp, we specialise in designing and delivering efficient, scalable nature-based solutions that benefit both people and the planet. We are looking for a BNG Sales & Innovation Lead to bridge the gap between high-value nature recovery and cutting-edge ecological technology.

About the role Reporting directly to the Head of Business Growth, you will hold dual responsibility: driving the commercial success of our Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) pipeline and managing our Innovation Team. You will ensure our technological tools—such as our client portal and GIS mapping systems—provide a distinct competitive advantage in the market.

Lead the sale of high-integrity BNG units to corporate developers and oversee the strategic delivery of the National Grid framework.

About us Ecosulis specialise in technology-powered nature restoration for people, planet, and progress. We’re making rewilding commercially viable to accelerate the vision of a recoverable earth within our lifetime. Our experts advise and deliver landscape-scale habitat restoration projects across the UK, while our practical ecologists work in collaboration with many major contractors. We also have teams of nature recovery and rewilding specialists delivering a variety of projects for landowners and corporates. Ecosulis has invested in cutting-edge technology, pioneering science‑based nature-based consultancy and contracting for over 30 years.

We see a future where rewilding is not only a way to develop more space for wild nature or to benefit our health and wellbeing, but also a financially viable market. We see opportunity for everyone to add value, driving positive impact at a global scale. This is a story of what can be achieved, rather than what needs to be done.

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Ecosulisis an equal opportunities employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.

Here at Ecosulis we particularly encourage applications from women, disabled and Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates, as these groups are underrepresented throughout our industry.
