This role brings compliance, risk and ESG work together inside RÖDL. The person will turn internal data into analysis, support the firm’s ESG direction and keep sustainability reporting and carbon accounting moving across the business. They will also help assess compliance risks and oversee the process for reviewing third parties.
The work connects the firm’s own operations with the standards it applies in client-facing professional services. Emissions calculations and company-wide reporting can clarify RÖDL’s environmental footprint, while risk analysis and checks on contracts and tenders help embed responsible business practices in decisions. It is a practical role where sound information supports both governance and sustainability priorities.
This suits someone with relevant experience in at least one of compliance, risk or sustainability, who enjoys working with data, can organise complex information carefully and is ready to learn across disciplines in an international professional services firm.
Job FAQs
What are the main missions and responsibilities of this role?
The role combines compliance and risk analysis with ESG coordination. Work includes collecting and interpreting data, developing compliance risk assessments, managing third-party processes, and reviewing contracts and tender documents for relevant requirements.
On sustainability, the post holder coordinates ESG measures, calculates emissions and prepares the firm’s sustainability reporting. The shared aim is to support informed governance and consistent tracking of the firm’s ESG work.
Key learning opportunities for this job
The position could build practical expertise across compliance, risk management and corporate sustainability, with direct exposure to emissions calculations, carbon accounting and sustainability reporting. It also offers a chance to develop skills in data analysis and the evaluation of third-party risks.
Because the work sits within a Governance, Risk, Compliance & Sustainability team, the role may provide insight into how these disciplines connect within a professional services firm. RÖDL describes access to training through its in-house academy, though no specific course or certification is named in the posting.
How does the ideal candidate look like (experience, skills)?
The posting seeks a degree in business or a comparable qualification, ideally focused on compliance, risk management or sustainability, and relevant experience in at least one of those areas. Strong Excel skills, very good written and spoken English, and an interest in data analysis are specified.
A good fit would also bring careful, independent working habits and the ability to organise complex information. Since the position covers several related fields, curiosity and readiness to learn unfamiliar compliance topics could matter as much as deep experience in every area.
Advice to stand out and make a successful application
Make clear which of the three core areas, compliance, risk or sustainability, best matches your experience, then connect that experience to the role’s wider remit. Use specific examples of data analysis, risk assessments, emissions calculations or reporting work, stating what information you handled and what it informed.
For an interview, prepare to explain how you would check data quality and organise a compliance or ESG analysis. The posting also names contract and tender reviews, so an example of applying requirements to documents could help. Show how you communicate complex findings in English and work carefully across different topics.
What aspects of the company's sustainability is this role likely to focus on?
The clearest environmental focus is the firm’s own emissions calculation and carbon accounting, alongside coordination of its ESG strategy and measures. Responsibility for company-wide sustainability reporting suggests the role will help organise information about RÖDL’s sustainability performance.
The compliance and risk remit adds a governance dimension. Third-party management and reviews of contracts and tenders could help identify relevant compliance risks in business relationships and decisions. The posting does not identify particular emissions targets, reporting standards or named social initiatives.
What are the main challenges someone in this role might face?
A likely challenge is bringing together information from multiple areas for compliance, risk and ESG analysis, while ensuring it is accurate and useful for reporting. The breadth of the role also means priorities may shift between carbon calculations, risk assessments and document reviews.
The post holder may need to apply requirements consistently across teams and third parties, even when information is incomplete or unfamiliar. The posting calls for experience in at least one field and willingness to learn others, so building fluency across the full remit may take time.
How could a typical day look like for someone in this position?
A day could begin with reviewing ESG, emissions or compliance data in Excel, checking its completeness and preparing analysis for the team. The person might then work on a risk assessment, follow up on information needed for third-party management, or coordinate actions linked to the ESG strategy.
Other work could involve preparing sustainability reporting content or checking a contract or tender document against compliance requirements. The balance is likely to vary with reporting deadlines, risk reviews and requests from colleagues across the firm.
What are the opportunities for professional growth and development in this role?
The role could deepen expertise in whichever area the candidate already knows, while extending their work into adjacent fields such as emissions accounting, third-party risk and sustainability reporting. This combination may support later specialist roles in ESG, compliance or risk management.
RÖDL states that it offers a career model and training through an in-house academy. The posting does not specify a promotion path, but growing ownership of reporting, risk analysis or ESG coordination could provide evidence for broader responsibility over time.
The main stakeholders you might be interacting with
Likely internal contacts include the Governance, Risk, Compliance & Sustainability team and colleagues who provide data or carry out ESG measures across the firm. The role may also work with people responsible for contracts, tenders and third-party relationships.
Depending on how reporting and risk reviews are organised, managers may rely on the role’s analysis to support decisions. External parties could be involved through the third-party management process, although the posting does not name particular suppliers, clients or assurance providers.
