From Now is the sustainability consultancy within the emc3 Collective, helping organisations embed sustainability into the heart of how they operate, rather than treating it as a bolt-on. Working across business strategy, operations and live events, From Now supports clients in turning ambition into action with practical, measurable and commercially relevant solutions.
That includes helping clients set tangible sustainability goals, integrate them into event planning and delivery, strengthen community impact, and create the internal engagement, communications and tools needed to make progress stick.
From Now believes sustainability should be built into every level of a business and reflected in the experiences it creates, with an approach that considers environmental impact alongside social responsibility, inclusion and long-term cultural change.

What you’ll get
The chance to be part of a fast-growing, award-winning global events agency that encourages their team to have autonomy over their role, enabling you to bring new ideas to the table, develop your role into exactly what you want it to be and receive support whilst doing it.
In addition to that, in return for everything you bring, we will provide the following:
With events happening in incredible locations across the globe, there are plenty of opportunities to travel. Previous locations include New York, Miami, San Francisco, Mexico City, São Paulo, Singapore, Dubai, Ibiza, Barcelona, Paris, Hvar and more!
We have typical hours of 10 am – 6 pm but due to the nature of the events industry, we offer a flexible approach to this. Want to work different hours? You can. Need to pop out for an appointment? You can. You just need to let your manager know!
A great company culture provides more than just lip service—and we make sure we’re always doing that by regularly investing in it. Not just offering you a job and a warm welcome, but creating opportunities for you to build a fulfilling career. We do this by investing in your development, whether personal or professional, providing accessible leadership, and hosting numerous team socials. Including Christmas and Summer parties you’ll actually want to attend—with previous overnight stays at venues such as the Wilderness Reserve, Four Seasons and Artists Residence.
We work remotely, but in the UK we have one day a week where we meet in our (dog-friendly!) Soho Works office in London so we can connect and catch up. When you’re not in the office, you can work from anywhere: your home, your garden, abroad — and we’ll set you up with the equipment to do so, including an Apple MacBook, mouse, laptop stand and second screen.
At emc3, we have a dedicated learning and development budget allocated to each person so that they can learn and grow in their role. And when it comes to progression, you’ll have the opportunity to level: up, down or sideways! Whether you’re looking to progress further in a current role or change departments—where possible, we’ll always support you with the transition.
In addition to unlimited paid time off for mental health, we provide free access to therapy, counselling and mental health resources for all of our employees.
We believe everybody should do their bit, and so offer one paid day off a year so that you can help out in your local community.
We care about the impact events and our business have on the environment and have a sustainability team to ensure we follow best practices to make our events as environmentally friendly as possible.
