How to Apply for Global Learning Facilitator
at Environmental Resources Management
🏢 About Environmental Resources Management
Environmental Resources Management (ERM) is a unique strategic consultancy that accelerates global sustainability by enabling low-carbon futures and advancing ESG priorities worldwide. Unlike general consulting firms, ERM focuses specifically on environmental and sustainability challenges, making it ideal for professionals passionate about creating tangible environmental impact through corporate transformation.
About This Role
As a Global Learning Facilitator at ERM, you'll facilitate fully virtual learning sessions across global leadership and career development programs, translating leadership concepts into ERM-specific applications. This role is impactful because you'll directly shape how ERM's global workforce develops skills to advance sustainability goals, creating psychologically safe environments that drive organizational change.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day involves preparing for and facilitating virtual learning sessions with ERM professionals across different time zones, using Microsoft Teams to create interactive environments. Between sessions, you'd collaborate with Program Managers to update leadership materials with ERM-specific sustainability examples and review feedback to continuously improve program relevance for global audiences.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who Environmental Resources Management Is Looking For
- ICF-certified coach with 3+ years post-certification experience who can demonstrate how coaching principles apply to group facilitation in sustainability contexts
- Virtual facilitation expert with 5+ years experience, specifically 2+ years in virtual settings, skilled at engaging global audiences across time zones using Microsoft Teams
- Professional with strong business acumen who can quickly grasp ERM's sustainability strategy and connect leadership development to environmental business outcomes
- Adult learning specialist who creates collaborative environments and can facilitate content outside personal expertise, particularly in ESG and low-carbon transition topics
📝 Tips for Applying to Environmental Resources Management
Quantify your virtual facilitation impact: Instead of 'facilitated virtual sessions,' specify 'facilitated 50+ virtual sessions for global audiences of 20-50 participants with 95% satisfaction scores'
Connect your coaching certification to ERM's mission: Explain how ICF principles align with creating psychologically safe environments for sustainability professionals
Demonstrate virtual platform expertise: Mention specific Microsoft Teams features you've used for engagement (breakout rooms, polls, whiteboards) rather than just listing 'proficient in Teams'
Show business-sustainability linkage: Provide examples of how you've helped professionals apply leadership concepts to environmental or ESG business challenges
Highlight global experience: Emphasize experience working across cultures and time zones, crucial for ERM's worldwide operations
✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
