About The Position

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.

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.
