- ** Data Analysis**: Proficiency in analyzing environmental data and metrics to assess the environmental impact of overall ESG & sustainability focused narratives, products, identify improvement opportunities, and track progress towards sustainability goals. This may involve using tools like life cycle assessment software, carbon accounting platforms, and sustainability reporting frameworks.

This includes preparing reports, presentations, and educational materials to raise awareness and drive engagement around sustainability initiatives.
- ** Innovation and Problem-Solving**: Ability to think creatively and strategically to identify innovative solutions to sustainability challenges, whether it's developing new eco-friendly materials, optimizing product design for resource efficiency, or implementing sustainable packaging solutions.
- ** Regulatory Compliance**: Familiarity with relevant environmental regulations, standards, and certifications (e.g., ISO 50001/14001, LEED/BREEAM, ENERGY STAR, Ecovadis and local market incentives) to ensure that products meet legal requirements and industry best practices for sustainability.
- ** Cross-functional Collaboration**: Experience working collaboratively with teams across different functions within the organization (e.g., R&D, operations, procurement) to integrate sustainability considerations into product development processes and supply chain management practices.
- ** Passion for Sustainability**: Ultimately, a genuine passion for sustainability and a commitment to driving positive environmental impact are essential qualities for success in this role. A demonstrated track record of prior involvement in sustainability initiatives, volunteer work, or advocacy can be a strong asset.
