• Have 5-12 years (or more) of experience in sustainability/ESG within real estate, finance, investments, engineering, consulting, or a related field

• Have a track record of taking care of sustainability reporting and integrating sustainability into investment and asset management (e.g. GRESB, EU Taxonomy, LCA, SBTi, CRREM, BREEAM, WELL, PRI or similar), but do not need to master everything

• Can link sustainability to value creation and risk management

• Comfortable and motivated working with data and have strong Excel skills, with the ability to translate analysis into clear, actionable insights

How you work:
