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.

WHAT WE’D LOVE YOU TO DO (AND LOVE DOING)
Lead the development of reliable, curated data products specifically designed to meet stringent EPR and environmental regulatory reporting frameworks across our logistics network.
Collaborate with cross-functional partners (Compliance, Legal, Sustainability, and Tech) to translate evolving regulatory rules into automated technical data models.
Design, monitor, and improve data pipelines that map product attributes (materials, weights, packaging components) to specific EPR fee structures and compliance logic.
Act as a data translator between legal compliance, business teams, and core engineering, ensuring data definitions match strict regulatory criteria.
Drive impact by transforming fragmented supply chain data into an auditable, high-integrity single source of truth for carbon reduction and compliance reporting.
WE’D LOVE TO MEET YOU IF
You have strong SQL and Python skills and deep experience working with large-scale data systems, data lakes, and dimensional modeling.
You bring experience working with regulatory data structures—ideally mapping data for Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and packaging registers, or from working within highly regulated industries like finance, tax, or health tech.
You understand the unique challenges of regulatory data, such as maintaining historical audit trails, managing data gaps in product attributes, and handling multi-jurisdictional reporting rules.
You’ve worked with enterprise BI tools (MicroStrategy, Power BI, Tableau) and know how to build reliable, automated exception-reporting dashboards for data quality tracking.
You can independently manage technical challenges while engaging confidently with both technical teams and non-technical regulatory stakeholders.
You have a proven ability to leverage modern data techniques, such as exploring or utilizing LLMs for unstructured data categorization, data enrichment, or anomaly detection to automate data cleaning.
