Job Title:

Sustainability Environmental Manager

Summary:

The Sustainability Environmental Manager will play a key role in turning Momentive’s sustainability ambitions into meaningful action across our global operations. This is an opportunity for a technically strong sustainability professional who enjoys working at the intersection of manufacturing, technology, data, and environmental strategy to make a visible impact.

As part of Corporate Sustainability, you will partner with manufacturing sites and leaders across Technology, Procurement, Product Stewardship, and the businesses to identify and advance opportunities in decarbonization, energy efficiency, renewable energy, circularity, waste reduction, water conservation, sustainable materials, and product environmental performance.

You will take opportunities from idea to execution, evaluating technical feasibility, building the business case, developing implementation roadmaps, and measuring results against Momentive’s sustainability goals. You will also help modernize how sustainability performance is managed, using AI, automation, and advanced analytics to strengthen data quality, uncover insights, and enable faster, more informed decisions.

This role is ideal for someone who wants more than a traditional reporting-focused sustainability position.
