What you need to know about this position: 

You will lead the development and implementation of Mondelēz International’s climate and environmental agenda across Europe (MEU), with a dedicated focus on carbon , water & waste reduction, and energy efficiency. You will translate global sustainability commitments into actionable regional roadmaps, coordinate cross-functional delivery, and drive measurable progress against our environmental targets.

This is a role for someone who thrives at the intersection of environmental ambition and operational reality — working hand-in-hand with R&D, manufacturing, logistics, and supply chain teams to make decarbonisation happen on the ground.

Climate & Carbon Strategy  

• Own the MEU carbon-reduction roadmap, translating MDLZ Science-Based Targets (SBTi) into regional action plans across Scopes 1, 2, and 3.  

• Identify and prioritise decarbonisation levers across the E2E supply chain (scope 1-2-3).

• Partner closely with the Global Impact Team & MEU organisation to identify, fund, and scale initiatives.  

• Track, report, and communicate MEU progress against carbon KPIs.

Cross-Functional Leadership & Stakeholder Engagement  

• Act as the central point of contact for climate and environment topics across MEU, connecting corporate sustainability, manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, procurement, finance, and corporate & government affairs.  

• Be the go-to sustainability partner for plant directors, supply chain leads, and logistics managers — embedding climate thinking into operational planning and investment decisions.  

• Coordinate with BU_CU teams to ensure local execution aligns with the regional climate strategy.  

• Build and manage relationships with external partners, industry coalitions, consultants, and governmental bodies.  

• Identify external funding opportunities (grants, subsidies, green finance).  

• Support commercial teams where relevant on climate-related sustainability communications.  

Culture & Advocacy  

• Champion the climate agenda as part of Snacking Made Right, embedding environmental ambition into everyday decision-making across operations.  

• Drive engagement and capability-building across MEU on climate and environmental topics.  

• Contribute to a vibrant, purpose-driven team spirit and a positive working environment.
