Operational Sustainability Professional - LCA & Decarbonization


RESPONSIBILITIES

LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT & PRODUCT CARBON FOOTPRINTING

You’ll lead and carry out Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) and Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) studies across ingredients, packaging, logistics, and operational processes. You’ll develop and refine the methods, models, and databases behind these assessments, critically evaluating system boundaries, allocation methods, emission factors, assumptions, and data quality.

DECARBONIZATION SCENARIOS & RECOMMENDATIONS

You’ll model and compare the emissions impact of options such as renewable energy, alternative raw materials, new production technologies, and process improvements. You’ll turn your findings into clear recommendations that help business teams and management prioritize emissions reduction measures and shape decarbonization roadmaps.

CARBON ACCOUNTING & EMERGING STANDARDS

You’ll track developments in the GHG Protocol, Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), Together for Sustainability (TfS), relevant ISO standards, and carbon removal accounting. You’ll assess what these developments mean for our methods and evaluate how to account for biogenic carbon emissions and removals in LCA, PCF, and greenhouse gas inventories. You’ll also assess the relevance of emerging sustainability technologies, methods, and regulations to our operations.

SUPPLIER ENGAGEMENT & PROJECT LEADERSHIP

You’ll manage technical sustainability projects and work with suppliers to improve data quality, transparency, and environmental performance across the value chain. You’ll also collaborate with consultants, universities, research institutions, and other external partners.

At least three years of hands-on experience with LCA software and environmental databases. Strong knowledge of the GHG Protocol, SBTi criteria, TfS guidance, and relevant ISO standards. Knowledge of biogenic carbon accounting, including how to treat emissions and removals in LCA and carbon footprinting. Ability to critically assess footprinting methods, model assumptions, and data quality, supported by strong analytical and quantitative skills. Experience evaluating emissions reduction measures and explaining the results in terms that help business teams make decisions. Strong project management skills and the ability to lead technical projects independently while collaborating across functions and countries. Fluent English. German is a plus.
