Digital Sustainability Data Specialist

1 month ago

Warrington, United Kingdom Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) Full time

Digital sustainability (or sustainable ICT) is an area of rapidly growing interest. ICT and digital services are increasingly held up as a key component of any solution to the global climate crisis and associated targets and goals. These include the UK government’s commitment to net zero carbon by 2050, the Greening Government Commitments 2020-2025, the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the 25 Year Environment Plan.

As a Digital Sustainability Data Specialist, you’ll lead on the collation, analysis and publication of digital sustainability data from both within Defra, and more widely across Government. You’ll also support the Digital Sustainability team's reporting outputs, build relationships with suppliers and stakeholders, and get involved with DDTS sustainable procurement.

This role is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to combine an existing digital, data and technology skillset with a passion for the environment, climate and sustainability. In our team, your work will have a direct and tangible impact to Defra’s policy outcomes and the wider global digital sustainability agenda.

As part of this you will understand data governance and how it works in relation to other organisational governance structures.
- Building relationships with DDTS suppliers and external stakeholders, through regular engagement and liaison (including the acquisition and review of sustainability data from suppliers).
- Supporting with DDTS procurement activities, including sustainability assessments and inputs to ITTs, ITFTs (tender evaluation stages). This will also include providing support to project teams on calculating carbon emissions and carbon reporting.

- Excellent organisational skills, with an understanding of data governance and management (including accessing and storing large datasets in a safe and secure way).
