This role puts data management and network coordination at the heart of the job. You’ll drive non-financial reporting campaigns across more than 40 countries while actively helping prepare the company’s first sustainability report under the CSRD directive. Beyond the numbers, you’ll bring the group’s CSR culture to life by running solidarity and diversity events worldwide.

Working on this transition provides highly marketable technical skills. Additionally, you will master specialized ESG reporting software and advanced data analysis techniques within a multinational context. This role offers a front-row seat to how a major company manages high-level non-financial audits. Mentorship from the Head of ESG Reporting will provide you with both a strategic and operational view of corporate responsibility, from carbon footprinting to social impact metrics.

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

The ideal candidate is a Master-level student from a business or engineering school with a strong analytical mindset. You should have prior experience in project management involving data, demonstrating the rigor needed for global reporting. Fluency in English and French is mandatory given the international nature of the stakeholders. You must be comfortable with advanced Excel functions and have a clear understanding of CSR fundamentals like the SDGs. Soft skills are equally important; we look for someone with a positive and proactive attitude who can inspire engagement across different cultures and departments.

Advice to stand out and make a successful application

To stand out, highlight your ability to handle complex data sets without losing sight of the human narrative. Since Edenred is a digital platform leader, showing interest in how fintech drives sustainable habits will demonstrate alignment.

Lastly, there is a focus on responsible digital services. You will help communicate how Edenred's products promote healthier food choices and lower-carbon transportation for millions of users.

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

The primary challenge is the scale of data collection. Coordinating inputs from 44 countries and 80 entities requires persistence and exceptional organizational skills to meet strict reporting deadlines. Another challenge is maintaining consistency in messaging across diverse cultural contexts. What resonates as a diversity initiative in one region may require a different approach elsewhere. Finally, you must balance the technical rigor of ESG reporting with the creative energy needed for employee engagement. Switching between an audit-ready spreadsheet and a global event requires flexibility.
