• Analyze LCA results to identify key environmental hotspots and opportunities for improvement.
• Prepare and present LCA findings to internal and external stakeholders.
• Develop clear and concise reports, presentations, and visualizations to communicate LCA results.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate LCA insights into product development and sustainability strategies.
