  2. 7+ years experience in writing, editing, and developing regulatory documents, sustainability reporting or communications, across a range of ESG topics, ideally in FMCG companies, EU institutions or consultancies.
  3. Experience in breaking down complex documents and information, distilling key messages, and tailoring them effectively for multiple target audiences.
