This role will serve as a key liaison across cross-functional teams, ensuring compliance with evolving sustainability reporting frameworks, while driving control maturity and reporting readiness.

• Conduct structured interviews with internal stakeholders across sustainability, finance, risk, legal, and operations to assess current reporting processes and control gaps.
• Build a comprehensive understanding of how climate and sustainability data is collected, verified, and reported.
• Investigate data, develop Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and implement controls.
• Reconcile data differences, compare data sets, and identify discrepancies.

• Collaborate with internal audit, controllership, and ESG reporting teams to design and implement internal controls over non-financial and climate-related data.

• Support the development of control frameworks aligned with SOX-like rigor for ESG metrics.
• Define project plans, milestones, and status reporting to leadership around ESG control improvements.
• Coordinate cross-functional working groups to align on ownership, timelines, and accountability for key reporting processes.
• Stay current with global ESG disclosure mandates (e.g., SEC Climate Rule, CSRD, ISSB) and translate requirements into actionable control design recommendations.

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Accounting, Sustainability, Environmental Science, or a related field; MBA, CPA, or sustainability certification (e.g., SASB FSA, GRI) a plus.
• 5–8 years of experience in program management, ESG/sustainability reporting, risk management, or internal controls.
• Strong understanding of internal control frameworks (e.g., COSO) and ESG reporting standards.
