Head of Environmental Reporting

Requirements of the role

We are the UK’s aviation and aerospace regulator and recognised as a world leader in its field. Our activities are diverse, enabling the aviation industry to meet the highest safety standards, and we pride ourselves on our ability to adapt to the constantly evolving aviation environment.

The Role

We are seeking a Head of Environmental Reporting to lead the Civil Aviation Authority’s (CAA) environmental reporting function. This critical role aims to enhance the impact of the CAA’s reporting on the aviation sector’s environmental performance.

The successful candidate will be responsible for developing and delivering a multi-year roadmap to expand, refine, and maximize the impact of our environmental reporting efforts. This work is a cornerstone of the CAA’s Environmental Sustainability Strategy and requires close collaboration with multiple teams across the organisation.

The CAA has a statutory duty to publish information on the UK aviation sector’s environmental impacts, including those related to climate change, noise, and air quality. We aim to broaden our monitoring of the sector’s environmental performance, delivering a more comprehensive, detailed, and holistic understanding of the industry’s environmental impact.

As outlined in our recent consultation, we are committed to evolving our environmental reporting—primarily through the annual Aviation Environmental Review (AER)—into a trusted, robust, and accessible tool. This enhanced reporting approach will provide accurate aviation environmental data that informs decision-making by Government, industry, and other stakeholders, ultimately helping drive meaningful environmental progress. The insights derived will influence policy development, shape the future of our environmental strategy, and strengthen our engagement with key stakeholders.

We are looking for a candidate with strong leadership creativity and advanced analytical skills, coupled with a clear understanding and proven experience in leveraging environmental performance data and insights to drive significant policy changes and better environmental outcomes.
