• Support external assurance and audit activities (e.g., methodology walkthroughs with the assurance provider) and prepare and validate data and documentation as requested.
• Triage and respond to incoming energy-data and analytical requests; track progress against internal KPIs and stakeholder expectations.
• Maintain and improve reporting documentation, the what, when, where, and why of energy data collection, including team-specific nuances and process flows.

Minimum Qualifications
