Serve as the company’s external voice in policy and standards discussions related to decarbonization, carbon accounting, and environmental markets
- Internal Alignment:
Partner cross-functionally with commercial, legal, technical, and operations teams to ensure that external market frameworks are integrated into internal systems, data, and reporting processes
