• Project coordination & implementation – Helping execute sustainability initiatives across GIST’s key focus areas, ensuring alignment with BCG’s climate strategy.
• Stakeholder engagement & communication – Collaborating with regional teams, business functions, and external partners to drive adoption of sustainability programs and best practices.
• Research & insight development – Conducting market research and benchmarking on emerging sustainability trends, policies, and best practices to inform strategy.
  
  

YOU’RE GOOD AT

• Analytical & problem-solving Skills – Ability to work with complex data sets, extract insights, and communicate findings effectively.
• Project management & execution – Organized and able to manage multiple workstreams in a dynamic environment.
• Technical acumen – Comfortable working with Excel, Tableau, Alteryx, or similar tools for data analysis and reporting.
• Collaboration & adaptability – Able to work flexibly across different workstreams and engage with stakeholders at all levels.
• Strong communication – Able to translate sustainability data and strategies into clear, actionable insights for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Knowledge of corporate sustainability measurement (GHG Protocol), reporting frameworks (CDP, Ecovadis, GRI), voluntary carbon markets, and best practices (Science-Based Targets).
  
  

What You'll Bring

• 2-4 years of relevant experience in sustainability, data analysis, consulting, or a related field.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in sustainability, environmental science, business, or a related discipline.
• Strong data and analytical skills, with experience using tools such as Excel, Tableau, Alteryx, Snowflake or other reporting tools preferred.
• Understanding of sustainability and GHG accounting principles is a plus but not required.
• Passion for corporate sustainability and climate action.
• Ability to work effectively in a global team environment with multiple stakeholders.
  
  

Who You'll Work With

You will work with all members of the Global Internal Sustainability Team.
