It will be an advantage if you already have worked with ESG and sustainability, but this is not a requirement as our methodology will get you quicker into it. Of course, if you already have the CESGA (Certified ESG Analyst) or equivalent it is a strong advantage.

Regular formal meetings to ensure the onboarding process is working well.
Every day follow up.

Our office is in Malmö, Sweden near the central station and we prefer that our new colleague works with us here onsite. As soon as the sustainAX methodology is well understood and correctly applied, we can discuss remote work possibilities.
Of course, the closer a candidate is to the optimal profile (read experienced ESG analyst having worked for one of the global ESG research providers), the more remote work is possible.
