This manager will coordinate Tetra Pak’s corporate sustainability compliance work, tracking relevant regulations and helping teams turn requirements into practical actions. The role connects interpretation with follow-through, so business units know what is expected and can provide evidence of their progress.
At a global food processing and packaging company, sustainability rules can affect many functions and markets. Clear compliance processes can help the business meet obligations, support reliable sustainability reporting, and maintain confidence among customers. The role links regulatory readiness with the company’s stated aim to protect food, people, and the planet, while working closely with reporting and finance colleagues.
This suits someone with experience in compliance, legal, risk, governance, auditing, or another structured control environment, who can explain complex requirements clearly and coordinate action across a large organization without relying on formal authority.
Job FAQs
What are the main missions and responsibilities of this role?
The role centers on monitoring and interpreting sustainability regulations, assessing their implications, and translating them into clear guidance for relevant teams. The manager coordinates readiness across business units, tracks documentation and evidence, and follows up on gaps and agreed actions.
The position also connects compliance work with sustainability reporting and finance processes. Where significant risks arise, the manager may escalate them through governance channels and work to build consistent understanding across the company.
Key learning opportunities for this job
The role could deepen knowledge of sustainability regulation and how requirements translate into corporate processes, controls, and reporting. Working with sustainability, finance, supply management, food safety, and operations may build a broad understanding of how a global food systems business manages compliance across functions.
There may also be opportunities to develop skills in regulatory interpretation, evidence management, risk escalation, and facilitation. The posting mentions development and training, but does not specify particular courses, certifications, or mentoring arrangements.
How does the ideal candidate look like (experience, skills)?
A strong candidate is likely to bring experience in compliance, legal, risk, governance, auditing, reporting, quality, or another structured control setting. A bachelor's degree is requested, with a master's preferred in sustainability, law, or business management. Direct sustainability regulation experience is useful but not required if transferable expertise is strong.
The work calls for careful interpretation, clear writing, disciplined documentation, and reliable follow-through. Equally important is the ability to gain cooperation across functions without direct authority, remain composed when rules are evolving, and hold teams to agreed actions constructively.
Advice to stand out and make a successful application
Show a concrete example of turning a complex rule or control requirement into practical steps for multiple teams. Explain how you tracked ownership, documentation, unresolved gaps, and escalation, and what changed as a result.
If your background is outside sustainability, connect your experience in legal, audit, risk, or governance work to sustainability compliance and reporting. Tetra Pak’s role spans corporate sustainability, finance, supply management, and operations, so give evidence that you can adapt guidance for different audiences and secure follow-through across a matrix organization.
What aspects of the company's sustainability is this role likely to focus on?
The role is likely to focus on the governance and compliance foundations of Tetra Pak’s sustainability work: identifying applicable requirements, coordinating implementation, and ensuring that claims and reporting processes have appropriate supporting evidence. Its stated connection to sustainability reporting makes accurate interpretation and consistent documentation important.
The company describes its purpose as protecting food, people, and the planet, and works in food processing and packaging. The posting does not name particular regulations or environmental targets, so the precise topics would depend on the requirements applicable to its operations and markets.
What are the main challenges someone in this role might face?
A likely challenge is interpreting requirements that may be complex or still changing, then making them actionable for teams with different responsibilities and levels of sustainability expertise. The manager must coordinate progress without direct authority while maintaining consistency across a large, international organization.
Another challenge may be securing complete, reliable evidence and closing gaps on time. Balancing regulatory needs with reporting processes, business-unit capacity, and appropriate escalation will require sound judgment and sustained follow-through.
How could a typical day look like for someone in this position?
A typical day could include reviewing regulatory updates, assessing which functions may be affected, and preparing practical guidance or follow-up questions. The manager might check progress on compliance actions and evidence, identify overdue or unclear items, and coordinate next steps with implementing teams.
Some time would likely be spent with sustainability reporting and finance colleagues to align compliance requirements with reporting processes. The balance may shift when new rules emerge, evidence is incomplete, or a significant gap requires escalation.
What are the opportunities for professional growth and development in this role?
This role could build expertise at the intersection of sustainability regulation, corporate governance, and reporting. Working across functions in a global company may also develop skills in risk management, process design, facilitation, and influencing without formal authority.
Over time, experience could support progression into broader sustainability compliance, ESG reporting, corporate governance, or regulatory affairs roles. The posting refers to development and training, but does not identify a defined promotion path or specific qualifications.
The main stakeholders you might be interacting with
The manager is likely to work with the Corporate Sustainability team, especially the Sustainability Compliance and Performance Team, as well as Sustainability Reporting and Finance. Implementing partners may include business units and functions such as Supply Management, Food Safety, and Operations.
The role also involves governance forums when critical risks need escalation. Its work depends on maintaining clear communication with internal teams responsible for meeting requirements, supplying documentation, and completing agreed actions.
