How to Apply for Sustainability Analyst | Business Operations

at Beta Technologies

🏢 About Beta Technologies

Beta Technologies is pioneering sustainable electric transport with advanced vertical aircraft and comprehensive charging infrastructure, creating an integrated ecosystem rather than just individual products. Working here means contributing to cutting-edge aviation electrification while addressing climate change through tangible transportation solutions. Their Vermont location offers a unique blend of innovative tech development in a community-focused environment.

About This Role

This Sustainability Analyst role involves collecting and analyzing environmental, social, and governance data across Beta's operations to identify improvement opportunities and measure impact. You'll transform complex sustainability metrics into compelling narratives and educational materials for both internal teams and external stakeholders. Your work directly supports the company's mission by quantifying their electric transport ecosystem's sustainability benefits and identifying areas for enhancement.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve coordinating with engineering teams to collect manufacturing data, analyzing energy usage patterns from charging infrastructure, and preparing sustainability metrics for quarterly reports. You could spend the afternoon developing educational content about Beta's environmental impact for employee training, then meeting with vendors to improve data collection processes for supply chain sustainability tracking.
