• Design and implement energy and utility data improvement strategies to help venues identify priority energy conservation measures
• Support interdepartmental coordination of site-level opportunities, such as with facilities, IT, and vendors
• Support operator education on energy and carbon reduction to drive measurable behavior change, including impact and progress reports

Additional Responsibilities and Cross-Functional Support
• Maintain and improve tracking systems for sustainability metrics in your venues, including the development of dashboards and scorecards
• Co-develop and deliver virtual trainings, office hours, and working sessions for venue peer groups
• Present progress and priorities effectively to both frontline operators and leadership audiences
Venue Travel
• Conduct venue assessments, audits, training sessions, and support for major initiatives and events
• Travel may include nights and weekends based on show schedules and business needs
• Manage travel logistics responsibly and operate against assigned travel budget
WHAT THIS PERSON WILL BRING
• 4+ years experience in sustainability operations, greenhouse gas accounting, utility management, zero waste, materials management, or resource recovery in complex environments (venues/events, sports, higher ed, hospitality, government, large facilities, or equivalent)
• Bachelor's degree in subjects such environmental science, engineering, climate change, sustainability or related. Master's degree preferred.
• Demonstrated experience implementing zero waste systems operationally, policies and SOPs, vendor coordination, and process improvement
• Working knowledge of energy efficiency fundamentals and how building operations affect energy use (lighting, HVAC runtime behavior, end-to-end utility management, commissioning, controls concepts, scheduling)
• Strong capability in data management and analysis (Excel/Google Sheets required; Tableau and Airtable dashboard/reporting tools a plus)
• High proficiency in written and verbal communication and ability to present data clearly to mixed audiences
• Proven ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and stay organized in a remote environment
• Experience supporting clubs, theaters, arenas, festivals, or live events operations
