About the Role

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a rapidly evolving area of global regulation requiring producers to manage end-of-life obligations for products, packaging, batteries, electronics, and related materials placed on the market.

What You Will Do

Enterprise EPR Program Management

  • Own HARMAN's enterprise EPR compliance program across all Business Units and regions.
  • Serve as the single enterprise point of contact for all EPR matters.
  • Develop and maintain the enterprise EPR compliance strategy, including governance, standardized reporting methodologies, roles and responsibilities, operational processes, risk mitigation, and escalation paths.
  • Lead the Business Unit EPR Owner network by communicating requirements, assigning deliverables, monitoring progress, resolving issues, and driving accountability.
  • Maintain the enterprise reporting calendar, including registrations, reporting deadlines, renewals, fee payments, audits, and other regulatory deliverables across all jurisdictions.

  • Identify opportunities to standardize, automate, and continuously improve enterprise EPR processes.

Regulatory Monitoring, Reporting & Compliance

  • Monitor new and evolving global EPR, product stewardship, packaging, battery, e-waste/WEEE, and related regulations; assess potential impacts and identify new or changing compliance obligations.
  • Partner with Product Counsel to translate applicable legal and regulatory requirements into practical reporting requirements, templates, timelines, and execution plans.
  • Determine reporting obligations and develop standardized templates that capture required regulatory data and supporting information.
  • Drive reporting readiness before every filing by confirming required data, reviews, approvals, and supporting documentation are complete.
  • Consolidate validated Business Unit data, prepare final regulatory reports in the required jurisdictional format, and route reports to Product Counsel for legal review and approval.
  • Submit approved registrations, reports, declarations, and supporting documentation to regulators, PROs, and stewardship organizations by applicable deadlines.

  • Serve as HARMAN's primary program-management contact for routine communications with regulators, PROs, stewardship organizations, consultants, and external reporting partners.
  • Manage PRO and external reporting-provider contracts, service levels, deliverables, and performance.
  • Coordinate responses to requests for additional information, administrative inquiries, filing confirmations, audits, or inspections.
  • Partner with Finance on EPR-related budgeting, forecasting, invoice review, payment coordination, accruals, reconciliation, and financial controls.
  • Coordinate ecomodulation opportunities with Packaging, Engineering, Product Management, Procurement, and Finance to reduce future EPR fees through product and packaging improvements.

What You Need to Be Successful

  • At least 5 years of experience managing regulatory compliance, product stewardship, EPR, sustainability compliance, or related programs in a matrixed organization.
  • Working knowledge of EPR, product stewardship, packaging, battery, e-waste/WEEE, material disclosure, circularity, or related product compliance regulations.
  • Strong program and project management skills, including experience managing reporting calendars, deadlines, trackers, data requests, stakeholder follow-ups, risks, and issue escalation.
  • Ability to translate complex regulatory requirements into practical processes, templates, timelines, and action plans for cross-functional teams.
  • Demonstrated ability to influence and coordinate cross-functional stakeholders without direct authority.
  • Experience working with Product Counsel, Finance, Product Compliance, Engineering, Packaging, Supply Chain, Procurement, Product Management, Manufacturing, and Business Unit stakeholders.
  • Experience managing external consultants, Producer Responsibility Organizations, stewardship organizations, or regulatory reporting providers.
  • Strong data governance and analytical skills, including the ability to review information for completeness, consistency, traceability, and audit readiness.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to communicate requirements, risks, and status clearly to internal and external stakeholders.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
