• Ensure reporting processes comply with local, national, and international standards, with audit-ready documentation.
• Stay ahead of evolving regulations and proactively update internal processes to maintain full compliance.

Stakeholder Engagement & Communication

• Communicate complex analytical findings and recommendations clearly to senior management, cross-functional teams, and external partners.
• Serve as a thought partner to business units, helping them understand their emissions profile and act on reduction opportunities.

Continuous Improvement

• Continuously evaluate and improve data collection, processing, and analysis pipelines for accuracy and efficiency.
• Explore and pilot emerging AI and analytics tools for emissions management, staying current with industry best practices.

Required

• A passion for sustainability

• Hands-on experience with data analysis, emissions calculation, or environmental reporting.
• Prefer proficiency in data analytics tools (Python, R, SQL, or similar) and data visualization platforms (Power BI, Tableau, or similar).
• Strong project management skills, with experience leading cross-functional teams and managing complex projects.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills — able to explain complex analytical and sustainability concepts to diverse audiences.
• Self-starter with an entrepreneurial mindset, comfortable working both independently and as part of a team.
