- 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.
Qualifications
- 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.
