3. Strategy & Integration

• Demonstrated experience in supplier engagement and conducting spend-based vs. activity-based analyses for complex Scope 3 supply chains
• Excellent cross-functional communication, with experience engaging finance, legal and workplace teams
• (Bonus) Experience supporting product sustainability features or B2B reporting solutions

 

Ideal Candidate Profile
