What this role is:

You will work with a team, supporting the sustainability strategy across the organization. This person will work across all levels and functions within the company to deliver against our sustainability goals. This is a critical role, with a focus on driving end-to-end strategies that impact our employees, customers and communities. You’ll report to the Global Sustainability Officer.

What this role isn’t:

This is not a static role. We are looking for a dynamic and strategic leader experienced in addressing very real business issues with leaders related to environmental and social issues. You will work directly on driving sustainable changes tour business operations, innovations, supply chain and community engagement, all while navigating scale for an agile and quickly evolving company.

What you’ll bring to the table:

We are looking for someone with a true global perspective – although US-headquartered, we have more employees internationally than domestically. You must have international exposure or experience, be technically adept at your craft, and possess fantastic people skills as we need someone to lead, listen and partner, consider the issues at hand, and connect the dots at scale.

• Assist with implementing global sustainability strategies, policies and practices.

• Various other projects and tasks as required

Minimum requirements:

• Hands on corporate responsibility, sustainability and/or corporate philanthropy program development experience in a global organization.
• Experience running or developing sustainability supplier management programs and leading data analysis projects using tools like problem-solving and value stream mapping.
• Collaborator who is adaptable and eager to lead change or transformation.
• You must be a good communicator, partner, influencer and be committed to customer service. People who are difficult to work with or just want to do their own thing don’t do well here.
• Advanced analytical skills, mastery of Excel and PowerPoint.
• Experience with a fast-paced, agile and accountable organization.
• Ability to travel to key Genesys offices as needed (once it is deemed safe to do so).
