  • Ensure audit-ready design with clear evidence trails, version control, and reproducible calculations aligned to key standards (e.g. SBTi, GHG Protocol, ISO 14064-3)
  • Establish strong data governance including quality standards, automated validation checks, and defined ownership for issue resolution
  • Enable scalable and efficient data processing by standardising intake, triage, and workflows, reducing reliance on spreadsheets and operational risk

Requirements

  • Strong understanding of corporate carbon accounting, including Scopes 1, 2, and 3, and familiarity with standards such as the GHG Protocol (ISO 14064-3 knowledge is a plus)
  • Experience building audit-ready data processes, including data lineage, versioning, reproducibility, and evidence management
  • Ability to translate complex standards and methodologies into clear, practical rules, templates, and workflows
  • Excellent stakeholder management skills with experience collaborating cross-functionally (Product, Engineering, Analytics, and commercial/client teams)
  • Strong decision-making ability, with experience prioritising effectively and managing trade-offs
  • Highly analytical mindset with the ability to interpret complex data and methodologies
