About the Role

This Position reports to: Sustainability Manager

At ABB, we are committed to driving a more sustainable, resource-efficient future. As a Sustainability Specialist, you will play a key role in turning strategy into action - supporting sustainability initiatives across the organization while working closely with senior stakeholders in a high-impact environment. This is a strategic role with significant exposure, responsibility, and room to grow. You'll join a highly driven team with a consulting mindset, where analytical rigor, collaboration, and ownership are valued.

Responsibilities

Sustainability & Strategy

• Support the Sustainability Manager in tracking and reporting progress against group-level sustainability objectives and KPIs
• Contribute to, plan, and execute sustainability-related projects, from defining objectives to reporting progress to management
• Translate sustainability strategy into practical actions, driving behavioral change through the local implementation of group-wide and business-specific programs
• Stay informed on external sustainability trends, regulations, and best practices, providing insights and consultation to the business as needed
• Share lessons learned and best practices across teams and organizational units

Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement

• Engage with internal and external stakeholders (including customers, suppliers, and authorities) to raise awareness, build commitment, and gather feedback on sustainability performance
• Collaborate cross-functionally to improve sustainability outcomes and performance
• Support project resource management, including staffing coordination and basic financial tracking

Key Requirements

• Strong motivation, analytical rigor, and a genuine desire to make an impact
• Two to four years of experience in strategy consulting, analytics, or a similarly fast-paced, high-performance environment, where working quickly without losing attention to detail is second nature
• Confident in analyzing complex data and drawing clear, well-reasoned conclusions, and ability to communicate those insights effectively to a wide range of stakeholders
• Comfortable operating in dynamic environments, remaining flexible when priorities shift, and willing to step up and take ownership when urgent topics arise
• International mindset or experience working across cultures, which helps you collaborate effectively in a global organization
• Master's degree
• Ambitious about growing within a strategic function
• Enjoy working collaboratively, comfortable with ambiguity, and act in line with ABB's values while contributing positively to the team

Note: While prior exposure to sustainability topics is an advantage, your curiosity, motivation, and willingness to learn are what truly set you apart.
