Job Summary:
Client's Energy and Sustainability organization drives the company's clean energy strategy and the reporting that underpins Client's Net Zero commitments. The Clean and Renewable Energy (CaRE) team is hiring a Program Manager on a contingent, limited-term basis. During this period, this role serves as the day-to-day owner and coordinator for Client's energy activity data - the Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 energy datasets that feed the company's greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory, emissions forecasting, and voluntary and regulatory disclosures. This is a hands-on, data-centric role: it requires 3-5 years of experience managing multiple concurrent workstreams in a fast-paced, matrixed environment, direct experience working with large datasets and running or QC'ing analytics, and the ability to communicate data status and insights to technical and non-technical audiences. This individual must have familiarity with corporate GHG accounting and be comfortable with query tools and data QA/validation workflows. This is a full-time, limited-term position.
Primary Responsibilities:

- Coordinate data and process flows across cross-functional partners to maintain accurate and complete inputs from source through to reporting
- Support the emissions forecasting cadence as the energy-data point of contact for the Net Zero team, providing and QA'ing the activity data behind regulatory and internal cross-functional forecasts
- Develop and maintain program-management artifacts - trackers, roadmaps, status reports, and executive-ready updates - for recurring leadership and cross-functional forums
- Support a quarterly reporting cadence (execution updates, exec meeting prep, deck and dashboard creation) using established templates and inputs
- Support external assurance and audit activities (e.g., methodology walkthroughs with Client's assurance provider) and preparing and validating data and documentation as requested
- Triage and respond to incoming energy-data and analytical requests; track progress against internal KPIs and stakeholder expectations
- Maintain and improve reporting documentation - the what, when, where, how, and why of energy data collection, including team-specific nuances and process flows
Must-Have Skills:
- Familiarity with corporate GHG emissions accounting concepts (Scope 1, 2, and 3) and the activity data that underpins an emissions inventory
