The Environmental & Sustainability Functional Leader provides strategic direction, functional leadership, and governance for environmental compliance, environmental risk management, and sustainability activities across WS operations.

  • Direct coordination of annual sustainability reporting, applicable regulatory disclosures, CDP, and EcoVadis.
  • Evaluate emerging reporting obligations and recommend proportionate business responses.
  • Partner with operations on practical emissions, waste, and resource-efficiency improvements.

Environmental Systems, Programs & Continuous Improvement

  • Strengthen obligation tracking, compliance calendars, corrective-action systems, and reporting processes.
  • Lead continuous improvement of Green Star and other environmental performance initiatives.
  • Standardize processes, documentation, and knowledge management to reduce single-person dependencies.

Functional Leadership, Talent & Organizational Capability

  • Lead the centralized team, define roles, establish priorities, and manage performance and resources.
  • Develop talent, succession coverage, cross-training, and knowledge-transfer practices.
  • Build environmental capability in Regional EHS and plant teams through coaching and guidance.
  • Direct the Senior Environmental Compliance Manager, Environmental & Sustainability Engineer, and additional positions as the structure evolves.

Business Partnership, Integration & Strategic Initiatives

  • Advise executive leadership, Operations, Legal, and Business Units on significant environmental risks and decisions.
  • Support acquisition due diligence, integration priorities, and legacy environmental risk management.
  • Align selected governance and reporting expectations with global stakeholders where appropriate.
  • Support major investments and operational changes requiring environmental expertise.

Critical Skills, Knowledge & Abilities

  • Environmental regulatory expertise and risk-based judgment in industrial operations.
  • Ability to influence and drive accountability across matrixed teams without direct facility authority.
  • Knowledge of sustainability reporting, GHG accounting, and environmental management systems.
  • Strong technical communication, executive judgment, coaching, and project prioritization.
