We are currently seeking a Sustainable IT Tech/Product Leader to join our team in Bucuresti, București (RO-B), Romania (RO).

We are seeking a visionary Sustainable IT Technical Product Leader to drive our organization's commitment to environmentally responsible technology solutions as well as to manage the implementation and ongoing roadmap and support of the Corporate Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) platform. This role combines technical expertise with sustainability knowledge to develop and manage eco-friendly IT products and services.

As the Sustainable IT Technical Product Leader, you will play a crucial role in shaping our technology footprint and supporting the Sustainability products that are necessary to support the business. This role is responsible to ensure optimal performance across all Sustainability Technology Programs with a focus on those supporting improvements in both Sustainability Sales Growth and Sustainability Site Operations. Your work will directly contribute to reducing our carbon footprint, optimizing resource usage, and positioning our company as a leader in sustainable IT practices while ensuring alignment with business goals and regulatory requirements. With the combination of the technical product management skills of a TPM with a strong focus on sustainability, the Sustainable IT Technical Product Leader role is required to meet the growing demand for environmentally responsible technology solutions in today's market.

The role of a Sustainable IT Technical Product Leader differs from a traditional Technical Product Manager (TPM) in several key aspects:

Sustainability Focus
: While a traditional TPM primarily focuses on technical implementation and product development, a Sustainable IT Technical Product Leader places a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability in all aspects of the product lifecycle.

Environmental Impact Assessment
: This role requires a deep understanding of environmental standards and the ability to assess and minimize the ecological footprint of IT products and services, which is not typically a primary concern for traditional TPMs.

Sustainability KPIs
: Unlike traditional TPMs who mainly track technical and business KPIs, a Sustainable IT Technical Product Leader will also define and monitor key performance indicators specifically related to product sustainability.

Cross-functional Collaboration
: While TPMs collaborate with engineering teams, the Sustainable IT Technical Product Leader must also work with sustainability experts and business units to align technical solutions with environmental goals.

Lifecycle Management:
This role places a greater emphasis on implementing and optimizing lifecycle management processes for sustainable products, which may not be a primary focus for traditional TPMs.

Market Research:
The Sustainable IT Technical Product Leader conducts specialized market research to identify emerging trends in sustainable technology, going beyond the typical market analysis performed by TPMs.

Innovation in Sustainability
: This role requires a unique blend of technical expertise and sustainability knowledge to drive innovation in environmentally responsible technology solutions, which is not typically expected from traditional TPMs.
