Beyond traditional reporting, you'll have the opportunity to modernise ESG data processes, drive automation initiatives, leverage tools such as Power BI, and explore how AI can create efficiencies across reporting and data management activities.
You'll work with a highly collaborative team and gain exposure to a broad range of stakeholders across operations, sustainability, utilities providers, clients and industry bodies.
Key responsibilities include:
- Managing ESG data collection, analysis and reporting across environmental and social sustainability metrics, and supporting third party assurance processes.
- Supporting industry reporting and benchmarking requirements including GRESB, NGERS, NABERS, Green Star and other sustainability frameworks.
- Providing ESG insights for internal and external stakeholders and assisting with the preparation of committee papers, client reports and presentations.
- Monitoring data quality and completeness, identifying inconsistencies and partnering with stakeholders to resolve issues.
