Operational Sustainability Professional – LCA & Decarbonization

Elsbethen, Austria

Want to help RedBull identify where it can reduce emissions across its value chain?

Join our Operational Sustainability team and lead environmental assessments across ingredients, packaging, logistics, and operations. You’ll use life cycle assessments and product carbon footprints to identify where emissions occur, evaluate ways to reduce them, and help teams decide which measures to prioritize.

LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT & PRODUCT CARBON FOOTPRINTING

You’ll lead and carry out Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) and Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) studies across ingredients, packaging, logistics, and operational processes. You’ll develop and refine the methods, models, and databases behind these assessments, critically evaluating system boundaries, allocation methods, emission factors, assumptions, and data quality.

You’ll model and compare the emissions impact of options such as renewable energy, alternative raw materials, new production technologies, and process improvements. You’ll turn your findings into clear recommendations that help business teams and management prioritize emissions reduction measures and shape decarbonization roadmaps.

CARBON ACCOUNTING & EMERGING STANDARDS

You’ll track developments in the GHG Protocol, Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), Together for Sustainability (TfS), relevant ISO standards, and carbon removal accounting. You’ll assess what these developments mean for our methods and evaluate how to account for biogenic carbon emissions and removals in LCA, PCF, and greenhouse gas inventories. You’ll also assess the relevance of emerging sustainability technologies, methods, and regulations to our operations.

SUPPLIER ENGAGEMENT & PROJECT LEADERSHIP

You’ll manage technical sustainability projects and work with suppliers to improve data quality, transparency, and environmental performance across the value chain. You’ll also collaborate with consultants, universities, research institutions, and other external partners.

Master’s degree in environmental engineering, sustainability, chemical engineering, biotechnology, environmental science, or a related technical or scientific discipline.

At least three years of professional experience in life cycle assessment, product carbon footprinting, GHG accounting, and decarbonization.

At least three years of hands‑on experience with LCA software and environmental databases.

Strong knowledge of the GHG Protocol, SBTi criteria, TfS guidance, and relevant ISO standards.

Knowledge of biogenic carbon accounting, including how to treat emissions and removals in LCA and carbon footprinting.

Ability to critically assess footprinting methods, model assumptions, and data quality, supported by strong analytical and quantitative skills.

Experience evaluating emissions reduction measures and explaining the results in terms that help business teams make decisions.

Strong project management skills and the ability to lead technical projects independently while collaborating across functions and countries.

How can I get a job at RedBull?

RedBull stands for individuality, authenticity and creativity. This is also what we expect from our employees. If you'd like to become part of RedBull, bring your true and unique self to the application process.

How does the application process work?

Finding the right person for a role requires a thorough selection process. We may require a personality assessment, a video and/or in‑person interview, an assignment or even a job simulation. The hiring team will share details of the process in advance.

Can I use Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the recruitment process?

Throughout your recruitment journey, you’ll come across moments where using AI could be an option. We encourage you to approach this with the same freedom & responsibility we offer our employees. Our recruitment process is all about getting to know you as an individual - what makes you unique, your strengths, your passions. You might use AI to polish your resume or prepare for interviews but remember nothing beats real human connection. When it comes to RedBull Wingfinder or a video assessment, we want to see and hear your personality and feel the energy you bring. Likewise, think of a Case Study as more than just a task. It’s your chance to show us what you can really do, experience the role, and assess if it’s the right fit for you. By relying on AI, you risk missing the chance to truly stand out!

How long does it take to hear back from RedBull?

Once you submit your application, you will receive an acknowledgement email. Afterwards you can expect to hear from us within two weeks.

What can I expect in a job interview?

During the interview process you will have the chance to gauge your talents and show your drive and motivation. The hiring team will ask you about your experiences, skills and strengths that are most relevant to the job in order to get a good picture of your profile and your unique selling points.
