The posting

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
