Job description

A Brief Overview

The Sustainability Manager will play a critical role in advancing MiTek’s sustainability and climate strategy, with primary responsibility for managing the company’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions program, regulatory climate disclosures, performance tracking, and sustainability reporting infrastructure. This role will serve as a central connector across functions—operations, finance, legal, communications, and facilities—translating complex data and evolving regulatory requirements into clear, actionable insights.

The ideal candidate is a strong project manager and systems thinker who is comfortable working in ambiguity, influencing without authority, and helping shape sustainability programs in a growing and evolving environment.

Responsibilities

GHG Emissions & Data Management

• Project manage MiTek’s annual GHG data collection and calculation process, including coordination across global sites and functions to ensure data quality, completeness, and timeliness.
• Ensure alignment with recognized standards (e.g., GHG Protocol), supporting year‑over‑year consistency and audit readiness.
• Support the evolution of emissions tracking capabilities as MiTek expands its sustainability and climate programs.

Regulatory & Compliance Support

• Support compliance with applicable climate‑ and emissions‑related regulatory and parent company reporting requirements.
• Monitor the evolving regulatory landscape and translate requirements into internal actions, timelines, and reporting deliverables.

Sustainability Reporting & Digital Content

• Own annual sustainability report process, including annual updates reflecting prior‑year performance, metrics, and progress against goals.
• Partner with Communications and Marketing to produce the report, ensuring content is accurate, clear, and aligned with MiTek’s broader narrative and brand.

Targets, Performance & Governance

• Lead the development of internal sustainability and climate targets, including emissions‑related goals, and manage performance tracking against those targets over time.
• Prepare internal updates and summaries to support leadership visibility, decision‑making, and governance processes.

Climate Risk & Strategic Initiatives

• Support MiTek’s bi‑annual climate risk assessment process, and contribute to related disclosures and reporting.
• Drive cross‑functional sustainability initiatives that strengthen MiTek’s long‑term resilience, regulatory readiness, and strategic positioning.
• Identify opportunities based on findings in data to make improvements; work in collaboration with the appropriate teams to create and execute a plan.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science, a related field, or an equivalent combination of experience and education.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in corporate sustainability, ESG, climate reporting, or a related field. Alternatively, a technical background (e.g., engineering, manufacturing, or facilities management) with an interest in sustainability.
• Working familiarity with sustainability and climate terminology, frameworks, and concepts (e.g., GHG protocol, climate risk, regulatory disclosures).
• Willingness to continually learn and stay abreast of regulatory requirements, standards, and science.
• Demonstrated experience managing complex, cross‑functional projects with multiple stakeholders and competing timelines.
• Strong analytical and organizational skills, with the ability to translate data into clear insights and narratives.
• Proven ability to lead with influence, build trust across functions, and operate effectively in ambiguous or evolving environments.
• Clear, concise written and verbal communication skills.

What Success Looks Like

• Annual GHG data and reporting processes run smoothly, on time, and with increasing data quality year over year.
• Regulatory climate disclosures are well‑coordinated, accurate, and aligned with internal data and governance processes.
• Sustainability performance and progress are clearly communicated internally and externally through MiTek’s digital channels.
• Internal teams are aligned around sustainability targets, priorities, and expectations—even in the face of evolving requirements.

Additional Requirements

• 5% as needed.
