TDi Sustainability is seeking a smart, curious, and detail‑oriented ESG Data Analyst to join our growing advisory and digital teams. This is a unique opportunity to combine a strong understanding of data, investigative research skills, and an eye for detail to support responsible sourcing, supply chain due diligence, and ESG risk assessments for some of the world’s leading brands. You’ll be working closely with the Data Analytics and Quality Manager and Data Systems Manager, to maintain existing datasets and develop new ones, conduct analysis and develop insights which inform decision making tools

TDi Sustainability is an advisory firm with a mission: to help businesses create long term value while driving positive change for people and the planet. Our work spans ESG advisory, supply chain due diligence, sustainable investment, and multi‑stakeholder engagement. Our clients include industry leaders in electronics, automotive, energy, and mining sectors. With TDi’s Digital Platform, we’re leveraging technological innovation to enhance traceability and accountability across complex global value chains.

As an ESG Data Analyst, you will lead research and exploratory data analysis, data collection and analysis, data maintenance, and support the creation of tools and dashboards to guide our clients in responsible business practices. You will play a central role in converting raw data and ESG frameworks into coherent, actionable insights, supporting TDi’s digital platforms, as well as consulting workstreams, product development, and client communications.
