The Director of Sustainability role is an exciting opportunity to take ownership of the existing Telix Sustainability function and steward and continuously strengthen it as a regulated, board‑accountable sustainability and climate disclosure function. This is a highly visible global role with direct ELT and Board interaction, responsible for ensuring ongoing regulatory compliance with mandatory climate‑related disclosure requirements (including AASB S2 and aligned ISSB standards) and maintaining robust governance, controls, and disclosure discipline across Telix’s three‑pillar sustainability framework. Success in the role will result from strong cross-functional collaboration with Finance, Risk, Operations, and Data Owners, and the ability to translate regulatory requirements into clear, defensible, and decision‑useful disclosures for senior management and the Board. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to leverage their regulatory, reporting, and assurance experience to operate an effective, compliant, and durable global Sustainability program for Telix.
