Build What Matters
At McKinstry, we're on a mission To Build a Thriving Planet - and we're looking for leaders who want to turn ambition into action. As a Senior Manager, Enterprise Sustainability, you'll help shape and deliver enterprise-wide strategies that reduce emissions, transform supply chains, and accelerate decarbonization across McKinstry's operations nationwide.
This is a strategic, people-leading role for a sustainability leader who thrives at the intersection of climate action, operations, supply chains, and business strategy. This person will need to be located in Denver, Seattle, or Spokane.
Lead Corporate Sustainability Strategy

  • Develop strategy and execute subsequent activities that drive McKinstry towards being fully net zero in the next ten years.
  • Lead company-wide annual GHG accounting and reporting across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3, leveraging software and GHG accounting tools to produce high-quality analysis, a comprehensive report, and actionable insights.
  • Design and implement supply chain decarbonization strategies, including supplier engagement, emissions data frameworks, sourcing considerations, and reduction roadmaps.
  • Partner with fleet, facilities, operations, supply chain, procurement, and other internal teams to develop, implement, and track sustainability and decarbonization enhancements in McKinstry's operations nationwide.
  • Provide recommendations and lead strategy pertaining to carbon offsets and RECs.
  • Provide guidance on responding to climate and ESG disclosures as requested by clients and key stakeholders.

Deliver High-Impact Programs
  • Lead large, cross-functional climate and decarbonization initiatives from strategy through execution.
  • Create KPIs, dashboards, and progress reporting to track and manage sustainability-related performance and outcomes.
  • Lead program planning, timelines, and deliverables with full accountability for results.
  • Manage, mentor, and develop a small but growing team of climate and sustainability professionals.

Influence & Collaborate
  • Partner closely with business leaders, operations, fleet, facilities, procurement, supply chain, manufacturing/fabrication, and social impact teams to integrate climate strategies across the organization.
  • Support implementation of initiatives across the organization; do the heavy lifting for other teams to make implementation of decarbonization strategies easy and attainable.
  • Serve as a trusted internal advisor and subject-matter expert on carbon, climate, and decarbonization.
  • Build buy-in and momentum across a matrixed organization through strong communication, influence, and relationship-building.
  • Ensure alignment of progress with external commitments including The Climate Pledge; evaluate alignment to other frameworks including SBTi and CDP.
  • Engage and inspire McKinstry employees in our sustainability and decarbonization initiatives; develop strategies that drive individual action around topics like commuting and waste diversion.
  • Identify and implement initiatives that enhance McKinstry's brand as a climate leader externally in the community and in the industry.

What We're Looking For
Required
  • 10-15+ years of experience in sustainability, climate, carbon management, supply chain, or related fields.
  • Demonstrated expertise in GHG accounting and emissions management across Scope 1-3.
  • 2+ years of people management experience, with a track record of developing high-performing teams.
  • Experience leading complex, cross-functional programs in matrixed organizations.
  • Strong analytical, communication, and executive-level storytelling skills.
  • Knowledge of GHG accounting software and similar tools to aid analysis and regular reporting.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft tools (Excel, PowerBI, Word, PowerPoint, SharePoint, Teams).
  • Familiarity with frameworks such as the GHG Protocol, EcoVadis, CDP, GRI, and RE100.

Highly Desirable
  • Experience in manufacturing or the built environment, including construction, facilities, energy systems, or industrial operations.
  • Experience engaging suppliers on emissions data, climate targets, or decarbonization initiatives.
  • Background in engineering, energy performance contracting, or high-performance design-build environments.
  • Advanced degree in sustainability, climate science, engineering, or related discipline.

Why McKinstry
  • Lead climate action at scale - across operations, supply chains, and the built environment.
  • Work alongside passionate experts committed to innovation, equity, and impact.
  • Grow your career while helping shape a low-carbon future.
  • Be part of a company that believes sustainability is core to long-term business success.
