Monitoring & Evaluation Officer / Data-Analyst

Do you want to work for a dynamic and growing company in a market with great future perspectives and, at the same time, make impact regarding climate issues? Can you combine business and
idealism? Do you want to work for an organization where challenges differ every
day? Climate Neutral Group offers you this opportunity.

About Climate Neutral Group
Climate Neutral Group (CNG) is a fast-growing organization with a clear purpose:to enhance the Net Zero journey to combat climate change. Since its foundation in 2002, Climate Neutral Group has been stimulating organizations in Climate-Neutral entrepreneurship: from A to Zero CO2 emissions. Very recently, CNG merged with Anthesis Group.

CNG helps organizations to get insight in their CO2 emissions, to reduce their emissions and to offset their residual emissions and to substantiate their climate neutral claims through our Climate Neutral Certification Program. Climate Neutral Group has grown strongly in recent years. More information can
be found at: www.climateneutralgroup.com/en

CNG’s certification program on climate neutrality went live on the 1^st of January 2021. This Climate
Neutral Certification Program is unique in the sense that it is the first scheme that A) enforces gradual reduction of greenhouse gases, and B) checks if the reduction targets are really achieved through 3^rd party independent verification. For more information about the program, see here.

CNG’s certification program was endorsed by ISEAL, the overarching organisation overseeing certification schemes, also in 2021. ISEAL requires its members to follow the ISEAL Codes of Good Practise, which requires CNG to continuously reflect on the impact the program is making. Now the first audits have taken place, and as a second major step for improvement, CNG wishes to establish and
implement a Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) System. This system should be fully operational by 2024, meaning this project is divided into two phases: Phase 1 has started and focusses on a manual, excel-based system. Phase 1 aims to generate ‘lessens learned’, to be used for phase 2, an automated
system.

CNG currently has a vacancy for a M&E Officer to support the Certification Team with M&E-related tasks. This is really a data-crunching role: you will lead the process of audit data collection, clustering and review of this data, and generating output so that the Certification Team can report on the impact
