• Anticipate evolving regulations and investor expectations to keep the company future‑ready

Qualifications

• 7+ years’ experience in ESG reporting, sustainability, or environmental & social performance, ideally in telecom, infrastructure, or adjacent industries
• Familiarity with GRI, SASB, TCFD, IFC Performance Standards and other ESG frameworks
• Hands‑on experience with ISO 14001 audits and compliance
• Track record of engaging stakeholders and influencing cross‑functional teams
• Strong written and verbal communication skills—able to translate ESG data for technical, executive, and external audiences
• Strong cross‑cultural collaboration skills – able to work effectively with diverse teams, and adapt communication styles across cultural contexts
