If you’re ready to turn data into actionable insights that promote environmental responsibility, our client has the ideal opportunity for you. We’re looking for a Sustainability Data Analyst (aka The Green Data Strategist) to analyze, interpret, and report on sustainability metrics that guide impactful business decisions and support green initiatives.

As a Sustainability Data Analyst at our client, you’ll collaborate with environmental scientists, policy experts, and business leaders to gather, analyze, and visualize data related to sustainability initiatives. Your insights will drive strategies around energy efficiency, waste reduction, carbon management, and overall sustainable practices, helping our client build a greener, more responsible organization.

Create Sustainability Reports and Dashboards:
  • Develop detailed reports and data dashboards that track sustainability KPIs, such as carbon footprint, energy consumption, and waste reduction progress. You’ll create visualizations that make complex data understandable and actionable for decision-makers.
Evaluate Carbon Footprint and Emissions Data:
  • Perform carbon accounting and emissions analysis to quantify the organization’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. You’ll identify areas for improvement and help develop reduction strategies in line with industry standards, such as GHG Protocol.
Collaborate on Sustainability Goals and Strategies:
  • Work with sustainability and environmental teams to define sustainability goals and track their progress. You’ll provide data-driven recommendations for achieving targets in energy efficiency, waste management, water conservation, and more.
Conduct Environmental Impact Assessments:
  • Evaluate the environmental impact of business practices, supply chain operations, and product lifecycle stages. You’ll assess and quantify the environmental benefits or costs associated with different operational scenarios.
Stay Updated on Sustainability Metrics and Standards:
  • Keep abreast of emerging sustainability frameworks, metrics, and industry standards, such as CDP, TCFD, and ESG reporting. You’ll ensure that sustainability metrics align with best practices and regulatory requirements.
Support Communication and Reporting for Stakeholders:
  • Assist in preparing sustainability reports for internal stakeholders, investors, and regulatory bodies. You’ll ensure transparency and accuracy in reporting, helping to build trust and accountability in the organization’s sustainability efforts.

Requirements

  • Sustainability Data Analysis Expertise: Strong experience in data analysis focused on sustainability metrics, such as energy consumption, carbon emissions, water usage, and waste management. You understand how to gather and interpret data that supports sustainable decision-making.
  • Proficiency in Data Analysis Tools: Proficiency in data analysis and visualization tools, such as Excel, Tableau, Power BI, or Python/R. You’re skilled at turning raw data into insights and actionable visualizations that support sustainability objectives.
