This Senior Analyst connects the sustainability profile of Whirlpool products with the company’s ESG disclosures. The role helps define product goals and roadmaps, translates environmental requirements into operating standards, and supports corporate reporting and controls across functions.
The work spans product attributes such as energy and water use, recycled materials, packaging, recyclability, repairability, and reliability. It also shapes how sustainability information reaches consumers and how corporate ESG data is checked before disclosure. In a large appliance manufacturer, this links product design and communication with the quality and credibility of public sustainability claims.
This suits someone with an engineering, environmental science, or sustainability background and project experience, who can work across engineering, marketing, regulatory teams, and internal audit. Clear communication, practical analysis, and the ability to build alignment without direct authority matter in this cross-functional role.
Job FAQs
What are the main missions and responsibilities of this role?

Key learning opportunities for this job
The role could build practical knowledge of product environmental performance across several appliance attributes, as well as experience translating regulatory developments into product standards. Working with engineering, marketing, and regulatory colleagues offers insight into how sustainability criteria influence product decisions and customer-facing information.
The corporate reporting remit may deepen familiarity with ESG disclosure processes, data verification, and internal controls. Exposure to Internal Audit and global functions could also develop project management and stakeholder alignment skills, though the posting does not specify formal training or certifications.
How does the ideal candidate look like (experience, skills)?
The posting asks for a bachelor’s degree in engineering, environmental science, or sustainability, and at least three years of project management or product development experience. Familiarity with voluntary ESG reporting frameworks and standards is preferred.
A strong fit would be comfortable working across engineering, marketing, government relations, regulatory teams, and audit. The work also calls for clear communication, sound problem-solving, cross-regional project coordination, and the ability to build agreement through influence rather than direct authority.
Advice to stand out and make a successful application
Show how your past work turned environmental or product requirements into measurable goals, design choices, or operating standards. Include concrete examples involving energy, water, materials, packaging, repairability, or another relevant product attribute where applicable.
For ESG reporting experience, explain your role in collecting, verifying, or governing data, and name any frameworks you have used without overstating your involvement. Prepare an example of aligning stakeholders across technical and commercial teams, since the position bridges engineering, marketing, regulatory work, and corporate reporting.
What aspects of the company's sustainability is this role likely to focus on?
The sustainability focus has two connected parts: improving and tracking environmental attributes of appliances, and supporting credible corporate ESG disclosures. Product work may cover energy and water performance, recycled materials, packaging, recyclability, repairability, and reliability.
The role also monitors environmental policy and regulatory requirements, and helps communicate product information to consumers. Its reporting and controls work likely supports the accuracy of public sustainability disclosures, although the posting does not identify specific corporate targets or reporting frameworks.
What are the main challenges someone in this role might face?
A likely challenge is coordinating technical, commercial, and regulatory perspectives while turning broad sustainability goals into product measures that teams can apply. The role covers several attributes, so it may require prioritizing what can be measured and implemented across a large product organization.
ESG reporting adds a separate data challenge: collecting information from multiple functions, checking its quality, and maintaining effective controls before disclosure. Regulatory changes and cross-regional coordination may also require translating complex requirements into clear, usable standards.
How could a typical day look like for someone in this position?
A day could include a working session with engineering or marketing on product sustainability targets, followed by review of progress on attributes such as energy, water, or materials. The analyst might also discuss product claims or labels with brand colleagues and clarify regulatory requirements with relevant teams.
Other work may involve requesting ESG data from functions, checking supporting information, and coordinating with Internal Audit or ESG partners on controls. Priorities are likely to shift between longer-term product roadmaps and reporting deadlines.
What are the opportunities for professional growth and development in this role?
The role could deepen expertise in product sustainability, environmental compliance, and ESG reporting within a major appliance manufacturer. Leading cross-functional projects may also build experience in program governance, data controls, and communication of technical sustainability information.
Potential development could include taking on broader product portfolios, more complex reporting responsibilities, or regional and global coordination. The posting does not state a defined promotion path, so progression would depend on organizational needs and demonstrated results.
The main stakeholders you might be interacting with
Core partners are likely to include engineering teams responsible for product design, Marketing and brand teams developing consumer information, and regulatory or government relations colleagues interpreting requirements. The analyst also works across global functions on corporate ESG disclosures.
Internal Audit and ESG partners are relevant to data verification and controls. External partners may be involved in standards or sustainability requirements, though the posting does not specify particular organizations or stakeholder groups.
