About Us

We are a globally focused organization committed to improving environmental performance, reducing greenhouse-gas emissions, strengthening climate-related risk management, and supporting sustainable business growth across diverse markets.

Our teams collaborate across Sustainability, Energy, Operations, Engineering, Finance, Procurement, Supply Chain, Facilities, Technology, Legal, and external environmental partners to measure carbon impacts, identify reduction opportunities, and integrate carbon management into business planning and operational decision-making.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced Carbon Management Manager to lead carbon-management strategy, greenhouse-gas accounting, emissions reduction programs, carbon data governance, climate-related reporting, and decarbonization initiatives across the organization.

The ideal candidate will establish robust carbon-accounting systems, manage emissions inventories, identify reduction opportunities, develop decarbonization roadmaps, coordinate carbon-reduction projects, evaluate carbon-related risks and opportunities, and ensure accurate and credible reporting to internal and external stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and implement comprehensive carbon-management strategies aligned with organizational objectives and climate commitments.
• Establish carbon-management policies, procedures, standards, methodologies, and governance frameworks.
• Develop and maintain organizational greenhouse-gas inventories covering relevant Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions.
• Establish clear organizational and operational boundaries for carbon accounting.
• Develop carbon-accounting methodologies, calculation procedures, emission-factor databases, and data-quality requirements.
• Collect, validate, reconcile, and analyze emissions data from facilities, operations, energy consumption, transportation, procurement, waste, and other relevant sources.
• Establish processes for gathering activity data from internal departments, sites, suppliers, and external service providers.
• Maintain accurate and auditable records supporting carbon calculations and reported emissions.
• Monitor data completeness, consistency, accuracy, traceability, and calculation assumptions.
• Develop carbon dashboards and management reports covering emissions, intensity, reduction progress, and key drivers.
• Establish carbon baselines and emissions-intensity metrics appropriate to business operations.
• Analyze historical emissions trends and identify major sources and drivers of carbon impact.
• Develop short-, medium-, and long-term greenhouse-gas reduction targets and implementation roadmaps.
• Identify and prioritize emissions-reduction opportunities based on carbon impact, feasibility, cost, operational requirements, and business value.
• Develop decarbonization plans covering energy efficiency, renewable energy, electrification, fuel switching, process optimization, logistics, fleet, buildings, procurement, materials, waste, and other relevant areas.
• Work with Energy and Facilities teams to identify opportunities to reduce energy-related emissions.
• Evaluate renewable-energy opportunities including onsite generation, renewable electricity procurement, and other applicable solutions.
• Support electrification and low-carbon technology projects where technically and commercially appropriate.
• Work with Operations and Engineering teams to identify process improvements that reduce energy consumption and greenhouse-gas emissions.
• Analyze transportation and logistics emissions and identify opportunities for route optimization, fleet efficiency, alternative fuels, electrification, and modal shifts.
• Work with Procurement and Supply Chain teams to address emissions associated with purchased goods, services, materials, suppliers, and logistics.
• Develop supplier-engagement programs to improve carbon-data availability and encourage emissions reduction across the value chain.
• Establish processes for estimating and improving the quality of Scope 3 emissions data.
• Evaluate product, service, project, and operational carbon footprints where relevant.
• Support lifecycle carbon assessments and carbon-impact evaluations for major products, projects, facilities, and investments.
• Integrate carbon considerations into capital planning, procurement, project development, and business-case evaluation.
• Develop carbon-reduction business cases including investment requirements, operating costs, savings, emissions reductions, and expected returns.
• Quantify marginal abatement opportunities and compare alternative decarbonization pathways.
• Develop carbon-reduction scenarios and assess their implications for cost, operations, technology, and business performance.
• Establish carbon-management KPIs and monitor progress against approved targets and reduction plans.
• Track emissions reductions generated by individual projects and verify performance against expected benefits.
• Establish measurement, reporting, and verification processes for carbon-reduction initiatives.
• Coordinate internal and external assurance or verification of greenhouse-gas inventories and sustainability disclosures.
• Prepare carbon-related information for annual reports, sustainability reports, regulatory submissions, customer requests, and other disclosures.
• Monitor applicable climate-related regulations, carbon-reporting requirements, emissions standards, and market developments.
• Assess potential impacts of carbon pricing, emissions regulations, carbon taxes, and other climate-related policies on business operations.
• Support management in evaluating carbon-related financial, operational, supply-chain, and strategic risks.
• Monitor carbon-market developments, voluntary carbon-market standards, carbon-removal technologies, and relevant market mechanisms.
• Evaluate the appropriate use of carbon credits, offsets, removals, or other carbon instruments where applicable and consistent with organizational policies.
• Establish governance and due-diligence requirements for any carbon-credit or environmental-attribute procurement.
• Coordinate with Finance on carbon-related financial analysis, investment planning, cost tracking, and potential carbon liabilities.
• Work with Risk, Legal, and Compliance teams to assess climate-related regulatory and contractual requirements.
