Sustainability reports are easy to write and hard to make true. The gap between the two is usually where an ESG Analyst spends most of their time — turning a regulatory requirement or a stakeholder ask into something a product team or a finance department can actually act on. We're hiring a
Remote ESG Analyst to do that work, salary $115,500 a year, fully remote.
What the role covers
You'd be pulling data from across the company — sourcing decisions, HR practices, emissions figures, whatever's relevant — and turning it into something coherent enough for leadership to use to make a decision. Some of that is analysis. A fair amount is translation: taking a framework like GRI or SASB and figuring out what it means for a specific team's next quarter, not just for a compliance filing.
- Track evolving ESG regulations and reporting standards, and translate them into steps teams can act on
- Build and maintain scorecards or dashboards that give an honest read on where the company stands
- Analyze impact data and flag where the numbers tell a different story than the narrative
- Work directly with legal, product, HR, and finance, so ESG considerations show up in actual decisions, not just annual reports
- Identify emerging risks early enough that teams have time to respond rather than react
- Keep reporting frameworks current as standards and stakeholder expectations shift
What you'll need
Minimum education is a
Bachelor's degree, and we're looking for at least
3 years of experience in ESG analysis, sustainability reporting, or a closely related field. If you've worked with frameworks like GRI or SASB before, or built a scorecard that leadership actually used, you know the kind of work this is.
- Familiarity with major ESG and sustainability reporting frameworks
- Ability to turn regulatory or stakeholder requirements into practical, team-level guidance
- Strong data analysis skills — comfortable enough with numbers to catch when they don't quite support the story being told
- Clear communication across departments that don't share the same vocabulary
Also useful
- Experience with responsible sourcing or supply chain sustainability
- Background working directly with finance or investor relations on ESG risk
- Familiarity with dashboard or data visualization tools
Who ends up relying on you
Leadership comes to you when they want a real picture of ESG performance, not a polished summary. Product and operations lean on your guidance when a sourcing decision has environmental or social implications they haven't fully mapped out. Finance wants early warning before an ESG risk turns into a financial one. You're not sitting off to the side producing reports nobody reads — you're the person these teams actually check in with before making a call.
How the work actually happens
Most of it runs async — Slack updates, shared docs, the occasional Notion page that ends up being referenced for months. Live check-ins happen when something genuinely needs a conversation rather than a written update. Some weeks are heavy on data work; others are almost entirely spent in meetings with departments trying to figure out what a new regulation actually requires of them. If you've been comparing sustainability roles on Naukri Mitra, you've probably noticed how many list "cross-functional collaboration" without describing what that actually looks like day to day — here, it means sitting in on product and finance conversations regularly enough that ESG isn't an afterthought bolted onto the end of a decision.
Pay and benefits
- $115,500 annual salary
- Health and wellness coverage
- Paid time off
- Annual budget for ESG conferences, courses, or causes relevant to your work
- Flexible schedule with room for deep-focus work blocks
What good work looks like here
Suggestions that actually get implemented rather than filed away. Feedback loops that are quick enough to matter — you make a recommendation, a team tries it, you find out whether it worked instead of waiting a year to check. Projects you own from framing through to results, not just a handoff partway through.
Who does well in this seat
People who can hold a regulatory requirement and a business constraint in their head at the same time, and find the version of compliance that's also genuinely useful. People who push past checking a box, even when checking the box would technically be enough. If you'd rather build something that holds up under scrutiny than something that just looks good in a report, this is the right seat.
Applying
Send your resume along with a short note on an ESG initiative or report you're proud of — what made it effective, and how you knew it actually worked. That tells us more than a list of frameworks you're familiar with.
Candidates from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia, India, and other eligible regions worldwide are encouraged to apply.
