About Vantage Data Centers


Vantage Data Centers powers, cools, protects and connects the technology of the world’s well-known hyperscalers, cloud providers and large enterprises. Developing and operating across North America, EMEA and Asia Pacific, Vantage has evolved data center design in innovative ways to deliver dramatic gains in reliability, efficiency and sustainability in flexible environments that can scale as quickly as the market demands.

Position Overview

Vantage is seeking an Global Sustainability Data Lead to own the design, governance, and continuous evolution of the company's Sustainability data ecosystem. This is a role for a sustainability professional who brings deep expertise in environmental metrics, including carbon and water accounting methodologies, and has the technical data skills to translate that expertise into scalable, auditable, and repeatable systems. 

Vantage’s Sustainability reporting program has grown in scope and complexity, and stakeholder expectations for our sustainability reporting have also increased. This role is responsible for building the data architecture, governance framework, and standardized processes that will allow the organization to meet those expectations consistently. The Global Sustainability Data lead will move the company from ad hoc data collection toward a model where sustainability data is well-defined, reliably sourced, and reusable across disclosure cycles. In addition to internal and regulatory reporting, this role is responsible for developing customized Sustainability data solutions for customers and investors, including structured data packages, methodology documentation, and responses to non-standard or contractually required reporting requests. 

The role requires substantive expertise in sustainability measurement methodologies, including GHG Protocol Scope 1–3, market-based and location-based Scope 2 accounting, 24/7 carbon-free energy accounting, water use effectiveness, and water accounting standards, combined with hands-on technical proficiency in SQL, Python or R, and BI platforms. Candidates should bring the methodological depth to make sound accounting judgments and the technical capability to operationalize them in scalable systems. 

As a member of the Global Sustainability Center of Excellence, this role works closely with sustainability program owners and regional leads, and partners with IT, Investor Relations, Capital Markets, Corporate Development, Customer Experience, and Operations to ensure Sustainability data serves the full range of internal and external needs.

  • Design structured, repeatable data flows that replace one-off data pulls to build the Sustainability data infrastructure that the organization and critical stakeholders can rely on as reporting obligations scale. 
  • Set and enforce standards for Sustainability data quality, definitions, documentation, timing, and traceability across all business units and geographies. 

Systems, Platforms & Technical Data Infrastructure 

  • Own sustainability data and reporting platforms end‑to‑end, including workflow configuration, calculation logic, controls, platform governance, and evaluation of new tools as needs evolve.  
  • Design and maintain automated sustainability data pipelines using SQL and Python within a Microsoft‑based enterprise data environment (e.g., Azure data services, enterprise data lake/warehouse, Fabric or equivalent), reducing manual data handling and reconciliation.
