Overview

As we scale our Responsible Business program, we're looking for a Responsible Business Analyst to serve as the operational engine behind our ESG strategy - owning the data, reporting, and cross-functional coordination that turns commitments into measurable progress.

This is a highly visible, build-it-with-us role. You'll manage the day-to-day mechanics of ESG reporting and data collection across our manufacturing network, drive meaningful improvement in our EcoVadis rating, and help lead our readiness for The Climate Pledge - all while helping shape the longer-term strategy for how Responsible Business gets done. If you're energized by solving operational puzzles, building systems from scratch, and making sustainability real in a manufacturing environment, this role is for you.

  • Responsibilities/Relationships
  • ESG Data & Reporting
  • Own the collection, validation, and organization of ESG data (energy, water, waste, and greenhouse gas emissions) across production centers.
  • Build and maintain data collection systems and trackers, including utility bill data and site-level ESG KPIs, to support consistent, auditable reporting.
  • Manage Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions reporting in line with the GHG Protocol, partnering with plant teams and internal SMEs to gather and verify data.
  • Prepare recurring and ad-hoc ESG reports, briefing materials, and presentation decks for leadership, customers, and external stakeholders.
  • EcoVadis & Ratings Performance
  • Lead the end-to-end EcoVadis assessment process, including evidence gathering, documentation, and submission.
  • Identify and close scoring gaps across the EcoVadis pillars (Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, Sustainable Procurement) to drive year-over-year score improvement.
  • Track performance against industry peers and benchmarks, and translate ratings feedback into concrete action plans.
  • Serve as a key point of contact for ESG ratings and rankings organizations, audits, and customer sustainability questionnaires.
  • Climate Pledge Readiness & Strategy
  • Help build the roadmap and reporting infrastructure needed to meet Vomela's commitments under The Climate Pledge, including emissions baselining and progress tracking.
  • Support development of decarbonization initiatives and help evaluate their feasibility, cost, and impact across facilities.
  • Conduct prioritization analyses to determine which risks and opportunities matter most, and help shape the multi-year Responsible Business strategy.
  • Monitor emerging ESG regulations, disclosure frameworks, and industry trends, and translate them into practical recommendations.
  • Cross-Functional Partnership
  • Build strong working relationships with plant operations, procurement, finance, and HR to source accurate, timely data.
  • Respond to internal and external stakeholder requests with clear, well-organized analysis.
  • Act as a trusted advisor who can explain ESG concepts simply and drive alignment across a large, distributed manufacturing footprint.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science, Sustainability, Engineering, Business, or a related field.
  • 2-5 years of experience in ESG, corporate sustainability, energy management, or a related analytical role; manufacturing or industrial experience strongly preferred.
  • Hands-on experience with the EcoVadis platform, GHG Protocol (Scope 1/2/3), CDP, or similar ESG reporting frameworks preferred.
  • Advanced Excel and data management skills; comfort building and maintaining trackers and databases across multiple sites.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to turn messy, distributed data into clear insight.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience building executive-ready presentations.
  • A self-starter mindset - comfortable operating with ambiguity, building processes from the ground up, and managing multiple priorities.
  • Genuine enthusiasm for sustainability and Responsible Business, paired with a pragmatic, get-it-done approach.

Benefits

  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
  • Retirement Plan (401k)
  • Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
  • Paid Time Off
  • Short Term & Long-Term Disability
  • Training & Development
  • Wellness Resources
