Product Manager, Sustainability Content & Methodology Governance

About the role

**We are looking for a Product Manager, Sustainability Content \& Methodology Governance to own the product strategy, roadmap, and lifecycle management for Novisto's ESG framework, questionnaire, and carbon methodology capabilities.**

**This is a high\-impact role for someone who enjoys operating at the intersection of product management, sustainability domain expertise, data governance, regulatory change, carbon accounting, and enterprise SaaS delivery.** You will help ensure Novisto's platform stays aligned with evolving ESG frameworks, CDP questionnaires, S\&P questionnaires, carbon protocols, emissions factors, and calculation logic while translating complex methodology changes into scalable product capabilities.

This role is ideal for a structured, customer\-oriented product manager who can bring discipline to a fast\-changing sustainability domain and create a repeatable operating model for monitoring, assessing, prioritizing, implementing, validating, and communicating content and methodology changes.

**Why This Role Matters**

* Customers need confidence that their ESG and carbon data is accurate, current, traceable, and ready for reporting and assurance. * Frameworks, questionnaires, protocols, emissions factors, and calculation methodologies are changing continuously and must be managed through a disciplined product lifecycle. * Novisto's differentiation depends on combining deep sustainability expertise with scalable software, strong governance, and a clear customer experience. * This role will help Novisto move from content maintenance to a repeatable, productized methodology governance model that supports enterprise adoption and customer trust.

**Your responsibilities will include**:

**Own the product roadmap for frameworks, questionnaires, and methodologies**

* Define and maintain the roadmap for ESG frameworks, CDP questionnaires, S\&P questionnaires, carbon protocols, emissions factors, and calculation logic. * Translate evolving standards and questionnaire changes into product requirements, data model needs, workflow changes, reporting outputs, QA requirements, and release plans. * Prioritize work based on customer impact, regulatory deadlines, business value, risk, implementation complexity, and strategic fit.

**Build a scalable monitoring and governance process**

* Establish a recurring monitoring process for supported frameworks, questionnaires, protocols, and carbon methodologies. * Work with ESG experts, carbon experts, data analysts, external advisors, and customer\-facing teams to identify changes and assess product implications. * Create clear governance for content updates, methodology changes, emissions factor updates, calculation logic, templates, mappings, standard phrases, and release documentation.

**Lead structured impact assessments**

* Assess whether each change impacts existing implementation, data structures, calculations, downstream reporting, customer workflows, assurance readiness, or exports. * Separate routine updates from non\-routine changes that require deeper analysis, working groups, customer SME input, or new product capabilities. * Produce clear implementation scope, product requirements, acceptance criteria, QA approach, and release readiness plans.

**Partner cross\-functionally to deliver high\-quality product outcomes**

* Collaborate with Product, ESG experts, Carbon experts, Engineering, QA, Design, Customer Success, Implementation, Product Marketing, and Sales Enablement. * Ensure domain interpretation is translated into clear, buildable, testable product requirements. * Support release readiness, internal enablement, customer\-facing documentation, and customer communications for major changes.

**Improve carbon calculation transparency and trust**

* Own product requirements for carbon calculation traceability, methodology documentation, emissions factor versioning, data quality checks, variance detection, and audit\-ready evidence. * Help ensure carbon outputs are explainable, repeatable, and aligned with recognized protocols and enterprise customer expectations. * Support the evolution of Novisto's carbon capabilities across Scope 1, Scope 2, Scope 3, supplier data, and calculation governance.

**What we're looking for:**

* 5\+ years of product management, product ownership, regulatory content management, sustainability software, carbon accounting, ESG reporting, EHS, compliance, or enterprise SaaS experience. * Experience translating complex domain, regulatory, methodological, or data requirements into product capabilities. * Familiarity with ESG reporting frameworks, sustainability questionnaires, carbon accounting, data governance, assurance readiness, or regulatory change management. * Strong structured thinking and ability to manage complex, recurring update cycles with cross\-functional contributors. * Ability to work with subject\-matter experts and engineering teams to create clear requirements, acceptance criteria, and release plans. * Excellent communication skills, including the ability to write customer\-facing release notes, internal enablement materials, and executive\-level updates. * Strong judgment and prioritization skills across regulatory timelines, customer commitments, implementation complexity, and commercial impact.

**Nice to Have**

* Experience with CDP, S\&P Global CSA, GRI, SASB, ISSB, ESRS / CSRD, TCFD, SDGs, or other sustainability frameworks. * Knowledge of GHG Protocol, Scope 1, Scope 2, Scope 3, emissions factors, supplier data, or product carbon footprint concepts. * Experience with taxonomy management, calculation engines, reporting workflows, audit trails, controls, or evidence management. * Experience working with consultants, assurance providers, external advisors, customer advisory groups, or enterprise implementation teams. * Experience in a high\-growth B2B SaaS environment.

**What we offer**

* Join an early\-stage, well\-financed company * Advance Novisto's purpose of contributing to the sustainability of the economy, environment, and society by empowering companies to make better decisions and disclosures through our ESG data management software * Contribute your knowledge and insights to increase awareness and knowledge of sustainability * Generous health benefits (100% Insurance coverage \& access to Dialogue's telemedicine app) * Flexible schedules \& opportunity to work remotely * 4 weeks of vacation * Stock option plan * Summer hours * If you prefer to work at the office, we have a beautiful office in Old Montreal, close to downtown and steps away from a metro (subway) station
