• You lead the company-wide approach to climate risks, adaptation, and resilience, including risk analyses, scenario analyses, as well as integration into Enterprise Risk Management and strategic planning.
• You establish robust Climate Governance, ensure compliance with regulatory and reporting requirements (e.g., CSRD/ESRS), guarantee audit-proof climate data and disclosures, and proactively monitor regulatory and standard developments.
• You translate the climate strategy into added value for customers and stakeholders, supporting customer requirements, tenders, and external climate-related inquiries.
• You represent the company externally on climate topics in industry initiatives as well as in exchange with investors, customers, and the media.
• You build a high-performing climate team, lead and develop it with great pleasure, and promote close cross-divisional collaboration.

• You have very good knowledge of sustainable design, lifecycle thinking, and the landscape of climate-related data and tools, including the challenges of scaling robust, decision-relevant CO₂ data (e.g., product carbon footprints).
