About the Role
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a systematic method for evaluating the environmental impacts associated with all stages of a product’s life—from raw material extraction, manufacturing, and distribution, to use, recycling, and final disposal. By quantifying resource use, emissions, and potential environmental effects, LCA provides a comprehensive view of a product’s environmental footprint. This enables organizations to make informed decisions that reduce negative impacts, improve sustainability, and support transparent communication with stakeholders.
This is an opportunity to influence both strategy and innovation at a global company committed to Pioneering Positive Impact.
You will lead advanced LCA initiatives across our product portfolio and help turn sustainability insights into measurable business value. Working closely with colleagues across Research & Development (R&D), operations, marketing, and product management, you will support smarter decisions that reduce environmental impact while strengthening customer value.
