What youll do Product Sustainability Enablement (60%)
- Run pilots for new technologies (materials processes circularity): scope test derisk and scale with Measurement & Verification (M&V) of environmental business and cost impact.
- Operationalize LCA/PCF: partner with the LCA team to integrate ISOaligned results (ISO 14040/44 ISO 14067 GHG Product Standard) into product sustainability factsheets and customer deliverables.
- Model/compute product decarbonization: quantify CO₂e water waste impacts from design or process changes and produce reproducible financegrade calculations.
- BOM intelligence: interpret multilevel Bills of Materials; map parts/materials to LCA datasets; identify highimpact components and lowercarbon/recycled substitutions.
- Documentation & standards: ensure methods data sources and assumptions are traceable and auditready.
- Support Design for Sustainability initiative through ideation measurement and project tracking
What youll do Supply Chain Sustainability Deployment (30%)
- Upstream Scope 3: measure track and reduce supplierattributed emissions (Categories 1 & 2); prioritize hotspots and drive supplier decarbonization roadmaps (energy materials).
- Recycled content: set targets verification and traceability for recycled inputs; increase PCR/PIR content while meeting quality and compliance requirements. Identify innovation and outside-in avenues to catalyze alternatives
- Responsible sourcing: support Conflict Minerals due diligence (RMI/RMAP) cobalt and other critical minerals and broader responsible supplychain expectations.
- Supplier engagement: cocreate action plans with Procurement and strategic suppliers; define KPIs data requirements incentives and consequence management; run supplier workshops/clinics.
What youll do Program Management & Governance (10%)
- Program management: build the execution plan RAID (Risks Assumptions Issues Dependencies) logs and stage gates from pilot scale; track KPIs and publish dashboards.
- Governance: align to corporate goals and ensure ontime exec/customer updates.
Qualifications :
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelors degree or higher in EngineeringEnvironmental Engineering or a closely allied discipline (Chemical Materials Mechanical Industrial with sustainability focus). OR Masters in an Environmental/Engineering field or Sustainability.

- Handson delivery: experience piloting technical solutions on the factory floor or in product development (experiment design metering/M&V rootcause and controls).
- BOM literacy: comfortable reading and analyzing multilevel BOMs and material specs; ability to link to environmental datasets.
Requirements
- Supplychain knowhow: upstream emissions fundamentals recycledcontent measurement and Conflict Minerals basics; proven collaboration with Procurement and suppliers.
- Program management: track record leading crossfunctional programs from concept to scaled adoption with clear KPIs and timelines.
- Demonstrated ability to lead-by-influence teams
- Ability to learn from challenges and demonstrate resilience.
- Apply WD core values Customers Results Connection Excellence and Innovation within the role
Skills
- Tools: openLCA/GaBi/SimaPro; ecoinvent/GaBi databases.
- Standards/frameworks: ISO 14040/44 ISO 14067 ISO 46001 (water) GHG Protocol (Corporate & Product) SBTi EPEAT/ENERGY STAR RMAP/RMI.
- Experience qualifying recycled materials lowcarbon materials EPDs or supplier PCF verification.
- Solid data management analytical data interlocking and program management background
