Sustainability Data Analyst - Thomson Reuters Foundation

About the Thomson Reuters Foundation

The Thomson Reuters Foundation is the corporate foundation of Thomson Reuters, committed to advancing media freedom, fostering inclusive economies, and promoting human rights. The Foundation leverages journalism, legal expertise, and convening power to drive systemic change.

About the Responsible Business Team

The Responsible Business team at the Thomson Reuters Foundation works to promote corporate transparency and ethical business practices that support more equitable economies. By leveraging TRF’s global networks, legal expertise, and data intelligence, the team collaborates with businesses, investors, lawyers, civil society organisations, and journalists to explore how business decisions impact lives and livelihoods.

Their work spans a range of critical issues, including:

• Labor rights and workforce transparency
• Responsible adoption of AI technologies
• The just transition to a greener economy

Key initiatives include the Workforce Disclosure Initiative (WDI), which improves data and transparency on how companies treat workers across their operations and supply chains, and the AI Company Data Initiative (AICDI), a partnership with UNESCO to shape ethical corporate AI adoption.

About the Role:

• Clean, prepare, and analyse corporate disclosure data using Excel to support thematic research, scoring mechanisms, and investor-facing products.
• Draft content for annual findings reports, research briefings, and insight pieces, turning data-driven insights into clear, accessible narratives.
• Monitor relevant market developments, news, and industry reports to help identify emerging themes and inform future research directions.
• Contribute to survey refinement by evaluating question clarity, data usability, and structure; assist in reviewing company feedback to improve survey design.
• Support engagement with companies and investors by helping explain the methodology, scoring approach, and data insights in a clear and confident manner.
• Respond to data-related queries from internal teams, helping them interpret key metrics or use specific datasets.
• Collaborate closely with other analysts and team leads to ensure high-quality outputs aligned with global frameworks and ethical standards.

About You:

• Proven experience in data analysis, preferably 2+ years, with demonstrated ability to work across both quantitative and qualitative datasets.
• Strong proficiency in Excel, including pivot tables, formulas, and basic data visualization.
• Good knowledge of financial markets; experience with market intelligence research, especially sell-side research is desirable.
• Demonstrated ability to work with structured datasets to identify patterns, draw insights, and support cross-cutting analysis.
• Solid writing skills, with experience in drafting research content, summaries, or analysis reports for mixed (technical and non-technical) audiences.
• Familiarity with ESG disclosure standards/frameworks (e.g., UNGPs, GRI, ISSB, UNESCO AI Ethics Recommendations).
• Intellectual curiosity and awareness of ESG-related news, market trends, or AI/workforce governance developments.
• Willingness and ability to learn new tools (e.g., Python, Power BI) to expand analytical scope.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, including comfort in cross-functional coordination and external-facing conversations.
• Detail-oriented and organized, with a commitment to data quality, relevance, and usability.
• A collaborative and proactive approach, with the ability to contribute to team projects, coordinate across functions, and respond constructively to feedback.
• Demonstrated data intuition – such as spotting anomalies or inconsistencies in data manipulation processes – would be a plus.

What’s in it For You?

• Global Perspective and Impact: Interested in working for a dynamic global organization with a focus on social impact? With hubs all over the world, join a truly international team with a shared goal of helping to build societies around the world that are free, fair, and informed.
• Unique Approach: Our expertise in media and the law is world-class. We combine the power of both to address the critical issues faced by humanity.
• Our Relevance: With a focus on advancing media freedom, fostering more inclusive economies, and promoting human rights, our work has never been more needed than right now.
• Industry Competitive Benefits: We offer competitive salary packages and market-leading benefits.
• Learning & Development: We are dedicated to the continual professional development of our employees and offer access to both in-house and external training opportunities.
