Own the numbers behind Coca-Cola Europacific Partners’ sustainability story. As Sustainability Reporting Analyst, you will run, validate and improve the reports and dashboards covering greenhouse gas emissions and other ESG metrics, chasing down data issues with the people who own the source systems and turning messy datasets into insights colleagues can act on.

The role sits at the point where data quality becomes credibility. A drinks manufacturer of CCEP’s scale faces growing scrutiny from regulators, investors and customers over its climate and packaging claims, so accurate, audit-ready reporting is not admin: it is what makes the company’s sustainability promises defensible.

This suits someone who enjoys the detective work of reconciling figures, is comfortable in Power BI, Excel or SQL, and wants their analytical skills pointed at a genuinely consequential environmental agenda.

Job FAQs

What are the main missions and responsibilities of this role?

The core of this role is operational ownership of CCEP's sustainability reporting. Day to day, that means running and maintaining the assigned reports and dashboards, preparing and validating outputs for greenhouse gas and other sustainability cycles, performing data-quality checks, calculation validation and reconciliations, and investigating anomalies with the data owners and stewards responsible for each source. Beyond the reporting rhythm, the analyst is expected to work through an agreed backlog of improvements, refining metrics, strengthening controls, updating calculation logic and lineage documentation, and refreshing user guidance. Audit readiness and governance sit underneath all of it: evidence, issue records and operating documentation need to stay current so the numbers can withstand internal and external scrutiny. The overarching goal is to make CCEP's sustainability data trustworthy, timely and explainable, translating technical reporting outputs into insights that non-technical business stakeholders can actually use to make decisions.

Key learning opportunities for this job

This is likely a strong grounding in applied ESG and GHG reporting within a large, listed-adjacent manufacturing group. The analyst will get hands-on exposure to how sustainability metrics are defined, governed and assured in a real corporate environment, including calculation logic, data lineage and control evidence, skills that are increasingly sought after as CSRD and similar frameworks raise the bar. Expect to sharpen technical tooling in Power BI, Excel and SQL, and to develop the less teachable skill of reconciling data across systems and tracing problems back to their source. Working alongside data stewards, product owners and sustainability subject-matter experts offers mentorship by osmosis and a broad view of how a data and information services function operates. There may also be exposure to cross-market reporting at group level, which builds familiarity with multi-country data structures and the practicalities of consolidating sustainability information across a large footprint.

How does the ideal candidate look like (experience, skills)?

The likely profile is someone with two to several years in reporting, business intelligence or data analysis, ideally with some experience validating data, reconciling outputs and documenting findings. A degree in business studies, finance or information systems fits the bill, though demonstrable analytical capability probably matters more than the exact credential. On the technical side, comfort with Power BI, Excel or SQL is expected, along with the ability to interpret a business question and return a concise, accurate answer to a non-technical audience. Sustainability-specific knowledge is helpful but likely not a hard prerequisite, the reporting muscle is transferable. Behaviourally, the role rewards attention to detail, organisation and calm delivery against fixed reporting-cycle deadlines. A collaborative style and the confidence to chase answers across business and technical teams will matter as much as the analysis itself, and advanced English is essential in a multi-country environment.

Advice to stand out and make a successful application

Because this is a reporting role, the most persuasive applications will show evidence of having owned reporting cycles end to end, not just built a dashboard once, but maintained it, validated its outputs and fixed it when numbers did not reconcile. Concrete examples of catching a data error, tracing its cause and documenting the fix will resonate more than a list of tools. It would be worth demonstrating awareness of why sustainability data is different from ordinary financial or commercial reporting: definitions, boundaries, estimation and audit expectations all create specific pressures. You do not need to be a climate expert, but showing you understand what makes GHG and ESG metrics defensible signals you will not treat the work as routine BI. In interviews, expect questions about how you prioritise during a reporting cycle, how you handle an accountable data owner who is slow to respond, and how you communicate uncertainty. Tailoring your answers to CCEP's scale, a manufacturer reporting across many markets and systems, will land better than generic analytics war stories.

What aspects of the company's sustainability is this role likely to focus on?

The role is most likely anchored in greenhouse gas accounting and the wider ESG reporting stack. CCEP, as a major bottler, reports on emissions across scopes, alongside areas such as packaging, water use and waste, all areas where a reporting analyst would be validating the numbers that feed external disclosure. Because the outputs connect to dashboards and approved source systems, this person will touch the data governance layer of the company's sustainability agenda: ensuring metrics are defined consistently, calculated correctly and supported by evidence. That makes the role central to audit readiness and to the credibility of public claims. Less directly, the work supports stakeholder engagement, investors, regulators, customers and internal leadership all rely on these outputs. The analyst may not set strategy, but they help determine whether the strategy can be measured and defended.

What are the main challenges someone in this role might face?

The most obvious challenge is data quality in a complex, multi-source environment. Sustainability metrics often come from systems not designed for them, and reconciling GHG or packaging data across markets can mean chasing inconsistencies and incomplete records. Staying patient and systematic under those conditions is essential. Reporting cycles impose their own pressure. Deadlines are fixed, definitions are agreed, and the analyst is expected to deliver validated outputs on time, so juggling the scheduled cycle with backlog improvements and ad hoc stakeholder questions requires real prioritisation. A subtler challenge is influence without authority: this role depends on data owners, stewards and platform teams to fix problems, but does not manage them. Escalating promptly while preserving relationships is a delicate, ongoing balancing act.

How could a typical day look like for someone in this position?

A typical day likely starts with checking the status of the current reporting cycle, reviewing whether outputs have landed, running validation checks and seeing whether any reconciliation gaps have opened up. A chunk of time goes to investigating specific data issues, which usually means messaging the relevant data owner or steward, cross-referencing systems and documenting what is found. There will be meetings with the Sustainability Reporting Manager on delivery status, risks and dependencies, and probably touchpoints with product owners or data-platform colleagues on backlog items. Some days are heavy on hands-on work in Power BI, Excel or SQL, building or refining a dashboard or metric. There is also the steady background work of keeping documentation, lineage and control evidence current, and responding to stakeholder questions that arrive out of cycle. The rhythm is predictable but rarely monotonous, reporting cycles punctuate it with concentrated periods of validation and delivery.

What are the opportunities for professional growth and development in this role?

Within the reporting function, progression could mean moving toward a Sustainability Reporting Manager role, taking on more of the cycle ownership, stakeholder-facing explanation and governance responsibility that this position currently supports. That path is visible and plausibly structured. Lateral moves are also realistic. The skills built here (data governance, BI tooling, metric definition) transfer well into broader data and information services roles, finance reporting or ESG assurance-adjacent work, all of which are growing areas. Less formally, the role offers high visibility relative to its level: sustainability reporting is a regulated, board-relevant topic, so strong performers tend to be noticed. Building deep expertise in GHG and ESG metrics now positions the analyst well as disclosure requirements keep tightening.

The main stakeholders you might be interacting with

Internally, the closest relationship is with the Sustainability Reporting Manager, who sets priorities, receives status updates and acts as the escalation point for risks and recurring issues. Product owners shape the backlog and help translate business needs into reporting changes. A significant share of the analyst's time will go to data owners and data stewards, the people accountable for the source data feeding each report. These are often the trickiest relationships, since the analyst depends on them to investigate and correct issues outside their direct control. Beyond that, the role connects with sustainability subject-matter experts for metric definitions, data-platform teams for technical fixes, and business stakeholders who ask questions and consume the outputs. Externally, the posting suggests little direct contact, though the reports themselves may ultimately serve investors, regulators and customers.
