You will work closely with an agile team of environmental and sustainability specialists including controllers from our Group Financial Compliance team.

• Develop the data collection process and management of sustainability data including coordination, gathering, analyzing, evaluating, and reporting of data from internal and external stakeholders from both our permanent offices and temporary sites associated with our projects.
• Work closely with colleagues in other functions to secure timely alignment with changing reporting regulations, including the EU Taxonomy Directive and CSRD.
• Support the overall business line in identifying and implementing improvement tasks within sustainability reporting.
• Develop communication with internal and external data providers and develop an internal controls set-up and quality assurance for the reported data.
• Oversee and continuously improve our internal sustainability reporting quality. This task includes training our data contributors on the reporting requirements.

Analytical and structured controller
In order to thrive in this position, we believe you have:

• A B.Sc. degree in accounting, finance, sustainability, or a related field.
• Experience of reporting according to relevant standards and regulatory frameworks.
• Strong analytical skills to gather, analyze, and manage data.
• Full proficiency in written and spoken English. Swedish will be a merit.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly in MS Excel. Experience with MS Power BI or other visualization tools is a merit.
