Vacancy: Recycling Strategy Manager
The Recycling Strategy Manager is a new role within JDE NL, who will work with the head office and international colleagues to create solutions for more sustainable packaging. Their primary goal is to contribute to a plan for recycling aluminum capsules after customers have used them. The board calls this one of the most pressing and essential challenges within JDE NL’s current sustainability agenda. The role has elements of consumer behavior, marketing, (political) strategy, and sustainability. The Recycling Strategy Manager is excited to take up this challenge and make it their own.
The intellectual challenge is to align with the waste processing system in the Netherlands, which is currently not set up to facilitate this volume of waste. She/he will work on both a long-term plan and short-term solutions that reduce JDE NL’s footprint. This includes investigations as to how the wheels spin when it comes to information streams, finance, materials, and products in different municipalities and their methods of waste separation.
The Recycling Strategy Manager will be JDE NL’s internal and external linchpin in this complex dossier. This requires them to think strategically on a high level and to not be afraid to roll up their sleeves and bring new ideas into practice. The Recycling Strategy Manager will analyze, communicate, negotiate and stand their ground in public and internal affairs.
The Recycling Strategy Manager builds and sustains relationships with a wide range of stakeholders. Departments such as Marketing, R&D, Regulatory Affairs within the company are closely involved. They also cooperate closely with the Communications & Government Affairs Manager to co-create with parties outside of JDE NL, for example with sector associations such as Koffie & Thee Nederland and Federatie Nederlandse Levensmiddelen Industrie. External stakeholder management is key to this position.
This is an exciting and intellectually challenging role with a direct positive impact on society. The role reports directly to the General Manager Retail.
