Sustainability Manager

OMEGA SA • Switzerland • Added on Nov 4, 2026
Apply →

This manager will shape and coordinate sustainability strategy across OMEGA and TISSOT, then turn it into projects with teams across the business. The remit includes tracking carbon performance, supporting decarbonisation and encouraging lower-impact product design and continuous improvement.

The role connects environmental goals with the everyday decisions of two Swiss watch brands. Carbon accounting and regulatory knowledge provide a basis for measuring progress, while training and internal communication can help departments take ownership of shared targets. Eco-design brings sustainability considerations closer to product development in a precision-focused industry.

This suits an experienced sustainability professional with a relevant master’s degree, project leadership skills and confidence working across functions. Fluency in French, working knowledge of English and German, and the specified Swiss fire-safety qualification are part of the stated profile.

Job FAQs

What are the main missions and responsibilities of this role?

The role sets and coordinates sustainability strategy for OMEGA and TISSOT, translating goals into cross-functional projects. Its work includes decarbonisation initiatives, carbon-footprint tracking and analysis of performance indicators. It also supports departments in meeting sustainability objectives, coordinates CSR forums, and builds staff awareness through training and communication. Eco-design and continuous-improvement projects are intended to reduce environmental impacts over time.

Key learning opportunities for this job

The position could build practical expertise in carbon accounting, decarbonisation planning and sustainability indicators within the Swiss watch industry. Working across two brands may provide insight into how environmental priorities are set and applied across different business teams. The role also offers scope to deepen knowledge of sustainability regulation, reporting expectations and eco-design. The posting does not specify formal training, certifications beyond the required fire-safety qualification, or a mentorship structure.

How does the ideal candidate look like (experience, skills)?

The stated profile calls for a master's degree in sustainability, environment, energy, CSR or a related field, alongside confirmed experience in sustainability, compliance, responsible purchasing or environmental project management. Strong knowledge of sustainability standards, regulation and reporting requirements is expected. The candidate should be comfortable leading cross-functional projects, communicating with varied teams and working independently. Native French and good English and German are required, as is an AEAI fire-safety officer qualification.

Advice to stand out and make a successful application

Make the application concrete by showing sustainability projects you have taken from planning through implementation, especially carbon-footprint measurement, decarbonisation, eco-design or regulatory reporting. Give evidence of how you coordinated departments and tracked results, rather than relying on broad statements about commitment. Clearly identify your master's degree, relevant standards and reporting knowledge, and the required AEAI fire-safety qualification. Show your French, English and German proficiency, and explain how you have communicated sustainability goals to teams with different priorities.

What aspects of the company's sustainability is this role likely to focus on?

The clearest focus is environmental performance: carbon-footprint tracking, decarbonisation projects and eco-design intended to reduce product-related impacts. The work also includes sustainability indicators and awareness-building across OMEGA and TISSOT. The posting mentions regulatory and reporting knowledge but does not name a specific framework, target or social-impact programme for this position. Its CSR coordination remit could connect the environmental work with broader company sustainability governance.

What are the main challenges someone in this role might face?

A likely challenge will be aligning two brands and multiple departments around shared sustainability goals while adapting projects to their different operations. Progress may depend on obtaining consistent data and securing ownership from teams outside the sustainability function. The role also spans strategy, carbon measurement, engagement and eco-design. Balancing these workstreams while interpreting changing sustainability requirements could call for careful prioritisation and clear evidence of results.

How could a typical day look like for someone in this position?

A day could include reviewing carbon indicators, checking progress on decarbonisation projects and discussing data or targets with colleagues in relevant departments. The manager may also coordinate a CSR meeting or help a team translate a sustainability objective into practical next steps. Other time could go to preparing internal training or communication, reviewing an eco-design proposal, and following up on reporting or regulatory questions. The balance would likely shift with project deadlines and the needs of OMEGA and TISSOT teams.

What are the opportunities for professional growth and development in this role?

The role could deepen expertise in corporate carbon management, sustainability reporting, regulatory compliance and eco-design within watchmaking. Leading initiatives across OMEGA and TISSOT may also build experience in multi-brand strategy and cross-functional programme management. With demonstrated results, the position could support progression toward broader sustainability leadership or specialist responsibility for climate, reporting or product impact. The posting does not describe a defined promotion path or formal development programme.

The main stakeholders you might be interacting with

The manager is likely to work with sustainability and CSR colleagues, business leaders, and teams across departments at OMEGA and TISSOT. These interactions would support strategy, coordinate CSR forums and help teams work toward shared objectives. Product and design teams may be key partners on eco-design, while colleagues responsible for operational data and compliance could contribute to carbon tracking and reporting. The posting does not identify named external partners or a specific reporting line.
