The Global Sustainability Market Engagement Manager enables the organization to systematically anticipate, structure, and respond to sustainability‑related customer and stakeholder expectations.

Maintain an overview of sustainability topics with increasing market and stakeholder relevance.
2. Sustainability Request & Response Process Development
Develop and continuously improve a structured process to manage sustainability-related customer and stakeholder requests.
Define clear intake, coordination, prioritisation, escalation, and response pathways.
Enable effective collaboration across Sustainability, Marketing & Sales, Portfolio, Product Management, Supply Chain, Legal, and other functions.
3. Enable Consistent and Proactive Market Engagement
Develop guidance, tools, and response frameworks for recurring sustainability topics.
Support a proactive approach to addressing future sustainability expectations and customer needs.
Promote alignment of sustainability messaging across regions and businesses.
4. Strategic Insight & Material Topic Input
Translate market sustainability insights into input for strategy, materiality assessments, and portfolio development.
Provide fact-based perspectives on evolving stakeholder expectations and their business implications.
5. Cross-Functional Collaboration & Enablement
Act as a bridge between Sustainability and customer-facing functions.
Support sales and account teams with sustainability insights in strategic customer engagements.
Facilitate collaboration while respecting established governance and decision-making responsibilities.
Your background:
5–10 years of relevant experience in sustainability, strategy, market engagement, or related business functions
Strong understanding of sustainability topics relevant to industrial and energy‑related markets
Proven experience working across functions and regions within a complex, global organization
Ability to structure unstructured inputs and translate them into clear, actionable insights
