About the Role

We're looking for an ESG/Sustainability Associate to join our sustainability advisory practice, supporting clients across Qatar and the GCC in building GHG inventories and preparing sustainability reports aligned with GRI Standards and IFRS S1/S2. This is a hands-on, client-facing role for someone who wants to build deep technical expertise in carbon accounting and sustainability disclosure.

Key Responsibilities

• Build GHG Protocol-compliant emissions inventories for clients — Scope 1, Scope 2 (location- and market-based), and Scope 3 screening across all 15 categories — using activity data (fuel, electricity, fleet, refrigerants, purchased goods, etc.) and appropriate emission factors.

• Draft sustainability and ESG reports aligned with GRI Standards, including narrative content, data tables, and GRI content indices, with an eye toward IFRS S1/S2 and QFMA/QSE disclosure expectations.

• Support IFRS S1/S2 readiness work — gap assessments against governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics & targets requirements.

• Prepare methodology memos and supporting workpapers that are assurance-ready (built to withstand third-party verification under ISAE/ISSA standards).

• Liaise directly with client teams to collect activity data, resolve data gaps, and explain GHG/reporting methodology in plain terms.

• Support materiality assessments and stakeholder engagement processes that feed into report scoping.

• Stay current on evolving GRI, ISSB (IFRS S1/S2), and Qatar-specific (QFMA/QSE/QCB) sustainability disclosure requirements.

• Contribute to internal knowledge-sharing and templates/tools that improve the team's delivery efficiency.

Requirements

• 2–5 years of relevant experience in sustainability/ESG consulting, carbon accounting, corporate sustainability, or a related advisory field.

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (engineering, environmental science, sustainability, business, or similar).

• Relevant certifications a plus: IFRS S1/S2 Certification, GHG/carbon accounting certification, GRI certification, or similar.

• Working familiarity with GRI Standards, GHG Protocol (Scope 1/2/3 accounting), and IFRS S1/S2 (or equivalent ISSB/TCFD-aligned frameworks).

• Strong Excel skills; comfort building formula-driven, auditable emissions models.

• Ability to manage multiple client engagements and deadlines with attention to detail.

• Strong written English; Arabic a plus for bilingual reporting work.
