Senior Data Analyst (all genders)

THE ROLE & THE TEAM

As a Senior Data Analyst in the Logistics Sustainability team, you will play a pivotal role in building the data infrastructure required for complex regulatory compliance, specifically Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). You will be responsible for connecting and curating highly fragmented datasets across systems, ensuring a reliable, auditable, and automated flow of information, and establishing a single source of truth that enables business-critical compliance and sustainability decisions.

You’ll work at the exact intersection of data engineering, compliance analytics, and logistics—translating complex operational data and material compositions into automated, audit-ready reporting structures. This is an opportunity to shape how one of Europe’s largest platforms manages its regulatory risk and measures its environmental impact through high-quality, scalable data solutions.
