We are looking for a Environmental Performance Specialist (d/f/m) who will lead mobile.de’s environmental performance strategy by building a carbon accounting system and a science-based decarbonisation plan.

This role focuses mainly on quantitative environmental work (greenhouse gas measurement, analysis, and reduction and all other environmentally-related topics) supporting the company’s transition towards low-carbon mobility.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Own the company’s carbon accounting across Scopes 1, 2 and 3, in full alignment with the GHG Protocol.

• Collect, validate, and manage environmental data ensuring transparent, auditable inventories.

• Set and monitor GHG reduction targets consistent with science-based approaches, ensuring they are measurable, time-bound, and aligned with the company’s growth trajectory.

• Develop a detailed decarbonisation roadmap, identifying reduction levers, cost–benefit trade-offs, and science-based trajectories.

• Perform carbon modelling and scenario analysis to forecast impacts of initiatives and business decisions.

• Support annual environmental disclosure (CSRD/ESRS or VSME) through well-documented, verified datasets, and coordinate third-party verification or assurance processes when required.

• Establish data-governance procedures, emission-factor libraries, and quality-control protocols to ensure consistency and integrity of environmental data.

• Build internal dashboards and tools to monitor progress against environmental KPIs.

• Provide technical guidance on all environmentally related topics, ensuring that sustainability decisions are grounded in accurate data and sound methodologies.

• Contribute to the company’s value creation strategy by identifying and assessing technical opportunities for greener mobility solutions (EV lifecycle improvements, low-carbon logistics, circular practices).

• Contribute to internal capacity-building by explaining carbon mechanisms and decarbonisation pathways to non-experts.

The Role Requirements

• Degree in Environmental Engineering, Environmental Science, or related technical field.

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in GHG accounting, carbon footprinting, or decarbonisation planning.

• Strong command of environmental science, sustainability analytics, and climate-change mitigation principles.

• Proven ability to calculate and interpret Scope 1–3 emissions, apply emission factors, and manage large datasets.

• Familiarity with relevant standards and frameworks (GHG Protocol, ISO 14064, SBTi, CDP, etc.).

• Experience building or contributing to corporate decarbonisation roadmaps or energy-efficiency programmes.

• Advanced Excel or data-tool skills (for ex: Power BI, Python, or carbon software platforms) for analysis and reporting.

• Exceptionally analytical: passionate about data accuracy, emissions modelling, and methodological rigour.

• Strong attention to detail and curiosity for environmental systems

• Ability to translate complex quantitative findings into actionable recommendations (including to C-Level).

• Self-driven, structured, and comfortable working independently on technical topics.

• Enthusiastic about low-carbon mobility and emerging technologies.

• Big plus: Experience in mobility, automotive, or technology sectors or/and technical familiarity with electric vehicles (EVs), battery lifecycle impacts, and charging-infrastructure emissions.
