Job Description:
Job Purpose / Overview:
This role is the strategic architect and lead executor of the Mars Snacking sustainability digital strategy. This is a mission-critical role in the team because of the high reliance of sustainability teams on data and systems:
Sustainability teams rely on data and systems to plan, execute and defend our work. Regulatory scrutiny on sustainability continues to increase, requiring more robust systems, processes and data controls. To identify new impact opportunities, we need expanded connectivity and granularity of data feeding our sustainability calculations. And to drive more sustainable change within the business, we need to increasingly connect sustainability impacts and information end to end, from Soil to Snack. Our digital strategy will create a path by which all functions can contribute to Mars' sustainability plans, while also unlocking brand and customer connections to foster growth.
Key Responsibilities:

  • Document processes related to digital tools and partner with the team to build capabilities and training

3. Sustainability accounting & results process management:
  • Support your direct team in on-time delivery of manual data feeding into Mars Inc. year-end sustainability accounting processes.
  • Identify and drive continuous improvement in sustainability reporting processes, increasing digitization and driving data accountability with the right functions.
  • Partner with regional leads and transformation lead to define data & performance flows between region/ division & center team, and vice versa.
  • Work with Mars Snacking & Mars Inc Sustainability Controllership to define appropriate data controls and ways of working to serve those control needs. Seek to automate these controls over time
  • Define & communicate clear processes and data expectations for project level substantiation for external communication
