Experience: Previous research or project experience in ESG compliance, automated reporting tools, or SME business consulting is a strong advantage.

- Comfortable navigating, evaluating, and providing feedback on technical software platforms.

Attributes: Empathic toward the operational struggles of smaller businesses; driven to make sustainability simple, clear, and affordable.
