- Maintaining sustainability documentation and preparing communication materials such as presentations and brochures
- Supporting the implementation and monitoring of our decarbonisation targets and roadmap
- Tracking sustainability KPIs and initiatives with cross-functional teams and monitoring progress against milestones

- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Clear communication and the ability to work with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders
