Normalize, transform, analyze, and visualize large data sets, including quantitative and qualitative elements. Drive action across distinct and diverse functional teams. Assist in managing the product line life cycle from strategic planning to tactical execution. Develop and maintain strong relationships with clients and colleagues by providing subject matter expertise for climate-related services and broader ICS Sustainability Solutions. Solicit external market/client feedback on products through user groups, client consultations, and beta programs. Support in the improvement and maintenance of soft infrastructure to enable the research unit's smooth functioning, including process documentation, methodology upgrades, and other enhancements.

Requirements

Expertise in the GHG Protocol and greenhouse gas inventories, Science-Based Targets and target-setting processes, the TCFD, and other climate-related corporate disclosures. 2-4 years of relevant work experience in climate change and corporate sustainability; data analytics a plus. Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Environmental Science, Business, Data Science, or a related field; Master's degree preferred.
