• Track and interpret relevant sustainability regulation (CSRD, PPWR, EUDR, and others) and translate requirements into practical actions
• Act as a sparring partner for stakeholders across the organization on sustainability‑related questions
• Support cross‑functional projects and initiatives aimed at improving Orifarm's sustainability performance
• Contribute to internal communication on sustainability progress and initiatives

Who are you?

We imagine that you have:

• A relevant degree in sustainability, environmental science, business, or a related field
• Experience with sustainability reporting frameworks (CSRD/ESRS, EcoVadis, or similar)
• Experience providing sustainability documentation to customers and responding to customer sustainability requests is an advantage
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, combined with a structured and detail‑oriented approach to driving initiatives across a cross‑functional organization
• Strong English skills to work in an international organization; Danish is an advantage

Who are we?

When you join Orifarm, you will be empowered to make a real impact from day one. We offer autonomy and great opportunities for career advancement, enabling our employees to shape their professional development.
