WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

We in Agricultural Solutions are preparing to be an independent, pure-play agricultural company within BASF group. To be ready for independence, we are looking for you to join us in our new Corporate roles (see here: Build Your Career on Our Standalone Transformation).

• In your new position, you drive ESG and sustainability reporting with a strong focus on people-related disclosures, particularly in the context of ESRS and other relevant regulatory requirements.
• You take ownership of ESRS-related people data, KPIs, narratives, and reporting requirements and ensure consistent, accurate, and audit-ready disclosures.
• Together with your colleagues, you closely collaborate with ESG, Finance, HR, Risk, and other relevant functions to translate regulatory requirements into robust reporting processes and meaningful insights.
• Right in the heart of things, you further develop ESG reporting frameworks, KPIs, data structures, and governance, with a particular focus on workforce and social topics.
• Furthermore, you coordinate relevant reporting interfaces and ensure high data quality, clear ownership, consistent definitions, and harmonized end-to-end processes across functions.
• Last but not least, you actively contribute to the continuous development and automation of ESG and people-related reporting, leveraging data, digital solutions, and AI to increase transparency, efficiency, and reporting quality.
• As we are building up the organization now, you have the opportunity to actively shape our future ESG reporting landscape and its interfaces with HR systems and processes.

WHAT YOU OFFER

• several years of professional experience in ESG, sustainability or non-financial reporting, ideally with exposure to people, workforce, or social topics
• strong understanding of ESG reporting requirements, particularly ESRS, and experience translating regulatory requirements into reporting processes, KPIs, and disclosures
• experience with ESG data, reporting frameworks, data governance, or related reporting processes; knowledge of HR reporting and workforce metrics is an advantage but not a prerequisite
• interest in people-related ESG topics and the motivation to build deeper expertise in HR data, processes, and systems
• very good English language skills as well as proficiency in common MS Office applications; experience with SAP, SuccessFactors, or ESG reporting solutions is an advantage
• strong analytical thinking, a structured and precise working style, and the ability to collaborate confidently across ESG, Finance, HR, and other cross-functional stakeholder groups
• proven digital and AI focus with the ability to leverage modern technologies and data-driven approaches to enhance efficiency and quality

WHAT WE OFFER

• Responsibility within a leading international agricultural company.
• Working in a fully international global environment with continuous exchange with colleagues across Agricultural Solutions worldwide.
• Opportunity to contribute to a robust and future-oriented governance environment.
• A dynamic work environment that empowers you to contribute your ideas, take ownership, and assume responsibility.
