The role combines advanced data management, data visualization, process development, and analytical quality control with applied expertise in the GHG Protocol and emerging climate disclosure requirements. The Analyst II works with project teams and customers to establish defensible measurement boundaries, design practical data collection strategies, engage data owners and other stakeholders, calculate and quality-check emissions, prepare documentation and evidence for customer review or third-party verification, and translate results into clear dashboards, insights, and actionable decarbonization strategies. The role supports multiple concurrent projects with increasing independence and helps improve the repeatability, accuracy, and scalability of Advisory Services data products and delivery processes. II. Essential Duties and Responsibilities Own defined data collection, management, analysis, and reporting workstreams from planning through customer-ready delivery with minimal supervision. Apply the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and relevant Scope 2 and Scope 3 guidance to help establish organizational and operational boundaries, identify applicable emissions sources, document exclusions, and maintain a defensible calculation methodology. Help customers translate measurement objectives into practical collection strategies, including source mapping, data-owner identification, request templates, collection schedules, evidence requirements, and escalation paths. Coordinate with customer stakeholders, suppliers, utilities, internal WM teams, and other data owners to request information, clarify assumptions, resolve gaps, and document decisions. Collect, clean, reconcile, transform, and organize large or complex datasets from multiple formats and systems while maintaining traceability to source records. Develop and maintain repeatable data workflows, calculation models, file structures, data dictionaries, process documentation, QA/QC checks, and version-control practices. Calculate Scope 1, Scope 2, and relevant Scope 3 emissions using approved emission factors, unit conversions, estimation methods, and calculation tools; clearly document sources, assumptions, limitations, and methodology changes. Assess data completeness, accuracy, consistency, and representativeness; identify anomalies and gaps, recommend resolution approaches, and escalate material risks to project leadership. Perform research and benchmarking on GHG accounting methods, emissions factors, reporting frameworks, sector practices, and decarbonization solutions to inform analyses and recommendations. Analyze inventory results to identify material emissions sources, trends, drivers, and reduction opportunities; connect findings to practical, prioritized customer decarbonization strategies. Prepare customer-ready tables, inventories, data visualizations, dashboards, reports, presentations, and methodology documentation that translate complex data into clear conclusions, decisions, and next steps. Support customer meetings by preparing data requests and materials, presenting analytical findings with increasing independence, capturing decisions, and completing follow-up actions. Manage timelines, dependencies, and deliverables for assigned workstreams; anticipate project needs, communicate progress, and flag risks or delays with recommended paths forward. Identify and implement improvements to templates, workflows, automation opportunities, and reporting structures that increase efficiency, scalability, and consistency across projects. Maintain organized project files and records that support continuity, auditability, customer review, and compliance with WM Advisory Services standards. Support customer third-party verification processes by organizing source records, preparing evidence packages, responding to data and methodology questions, and documenting changes or corrective actions. Maintain current knowledge of GHG accounting, sustainability reporting, data management, emissions-factor developments, decarbonization practices, and mandatory climate disclosure or GHG reporting regulations, including emerging requirements such as California SB 253. Evaluate and responsibly incorporate AI-enabled tools and automation into materials management workflows, templates, analysis, and documentation to improve efficiency, consistency, and scalability while maintaining appropriate quality controls.
