Description

Great People Work Here

Do you seek a role that provides a wide array of opportunities, in a culture that respects diversity and promotes collaboration, prioritizing the well-being of employees and inspiring new ideas? If so, TwiningsOvo delivers.

We're recruiting for a brand new role - Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Analyst. You'll play a pivotal role in building out and bridging our global, multi-country sustainability objectives with data and technology, acting as a trusted advisor to both ESG and functional business teams across TwiningsOvo.

Combining comprehensive ESG knowledge with data platform know-how, you will help build, shape and operationalise our ESG strategy through high-quality data, reporting, and platform ownership. You'll own the end-to-end lifecycle of ESG data and reporting - from discovery and metric definition to platform enablement and regulatory compliance. Working closely with TwiningsOvo teams and third-party providers, you will also ensure ESG data is accurate, accessible, and aligned with business and legal expectations - enabling better decision-making and disclosure across the organisation.

The role will be based in the UK and may require occasional international travel to other TwiningsOvo offices, including Switzerland, India, Argentina, Kenya, Thailand, and other markets as needed to support local ESG use cases, reporting needs, or platform rollouts.

3. Act as the central point of contact for ESG data requests, changes, and enhancements.
4. Oversee platform performance, data availability, user access, and support documentation.
5. Create one source of consistent 'truth' for ESG data.

Data & Reporting Stewardship

1. Lead ESG data discovery and mapping activities; assess and analyse data for quality and consistency, ability to identify and address data gaps.
2. Comprehensive understanding of salient risks across agricultural values chains, to help inform, define and maintain ESG metrics, aligned with industry and civil society standards (SBTI, EUDR, CSRD, CSDDD and HR global indexes etc.).
3. Work in partnership with Finance, Sustainability Communications and Reporting Manager to ensure that data provided and associated narrative in ESG reporting is accurate, timely, and aligned with internal and external requirements.
4. Support the generation of data for ESG reports for executive leadership, SI+S, stakeholders, ABF and external regulators, linked to commercial and operational elements as required.
5. Alongside Finance, own compliance with legal and regulatory ESG disclosures and ensure the platform reflects the latest requirements.
