We believe that sustainability will bring increasing value to our portfolio - differentiating our offers, building trust, and driving long‑term performance. Now we need to accelerate this journey.
\n
Schneider Electric has built strong sustainability capabilities, from responsible materials and circularity to LCA and environmental data. The next step is to activate these strengths earlier, faster, and more consistently across product design, offer definition, and go‑to‑market, so that sustainability is not just reported, but designed, marketed, and valued.
\n
We call this vision our “Future Designed” roadmap, part of our 2030 Sustainability Ambition, which falls into two major streams: technical and industrialization (embedding in processes) and value proposition / go to market (marketing & sales focus).
\n
Role Mission Act as the sustainability “responsible marketing” leader and sparring partner, in close partnership with EM/IA Future Design owners, across R&D;, Offer Management, Marketing, and Sales to embed sustainability credentials into our products, offers, and launches, and to prove the business value of our sustainability edge.
\n
This role requires mature judgment to decide when to lead, when to influence, and when to empower the teams that own delivery – while staying laser‑focused on priorities, impact, and results.
\n
Ad hoc to this core mission, the role may also play a strategic role in shaping broader marketing initiatives linked to our 2030 roadmap (and its 17 programs), including positioning, branding, storytelling, design direction, marketing asset development, orchestration and amplification, ensuring coherence across functions, markets and channels.

Key Responsibilities
- End‑to‑end marketing project orchestration across the value chain (ecosystem approach) Lifecycle mastery: Develop a strong, end‑to‑end understanding of Schneider Electric’s product and offer lifecycle – from design and industrialization to launch, commercialization, and end‑of‑life to understand where to leverage marketing / sales and comms efforts.
\n
Value‑driven sustainability integration: Identify where sustainability levers (responsible materials, circularity, LCA, carbon footprint, recyclability, human rights) create the highest value, and drive interventions at the right level—strategic, tactical, or operational.

Deliver guidelines for marketing /sales teams to support customer‑facing narrative and enablement to promote the offer.
\n
Competitive differentiation through creativity: Foster a dynamic that encourages bold, innovative, and out‑of‑the‑box approaches to elevate storytelling, accelerate market adoption, and outperform competitors.

\n
- Change management & culture building on “responsible marketing” (engagement) Adoption diagnostics & levers: In close partnership with our change management core team, diagnose cultural, organizational, and strategic barriers to sustainability adoption, assess impact, and define pragmatic levers to accelerate change.
\n

\n
Autonomous enablement at scale: Create clear, usable tools (guidelines, playbooks, workshops, learning expeditions) that empower teams to integrate sustainability independently, without becoming a central production bottleneck.
\n
External perspective & amplification: Lead competitive and cross‑industry benchmarking to challenge internal and market standards, and partner with Communications and Analyst Relations to amplify credible differentiation or recognition (events, awards).
