Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Analyst
Application Deadline: 27 April 2025
Department: Social Impact
Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time
Location: Andover
Description
Do you seek a role that provides a wide array of opportunities, in a culture that respects diversity and promotes collaboration, prioritizing the well-being of employees and inspiring new ideas? Do you want the freedom to explore, and the opportunities to find new ways and to innovate? If so, TwiningsOvo delivers.
We’re recruiting for a brand new role - Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Analyst. You’ll play a pivotal role in building out and bridging our global, multi-country sustainability objectives with data and technology, acting as a trusted advisor to both ESG and functional business teams across TwiningsOvo.
Combining comprehensive ESG knowledge with data platform know-how, you will help build, shape and operationalise our ESG strategy through high-quality data, reporting, and platform ownership. You’ll own the end-to-end lifecycle of ESG data and reporting – from discovery and metric definition to platform enablement and regulatory compliance. Working closely with TwiningsOvo teams and third-party providers, you will also ensure ESG data is accurate, accessible, and aligned with business and legal expectations - enabling better decision-making and disclosure across the organisation.
The role will be based in the UK and may require occasional international travel to other TwiningsOvo offices, including Switzerland, India, Argentina, Kenya, Thailand, and other markets as needed to support local ESG use cases, reporting needs, or platform rollouts.
