Are you the customer-oriented manager who matches the strategic challenges of our customers with our sustainability strategy? Do you want to pioneer, develop, get to know the I&D customers and really help them? The basis of the plan has been laid, are you going to shape it further?

This is the role

In the role of I&D Sustainability Development Manager Europe, you really get to know our I&D customers and help them achieve their climate goals through our LYB value propositions. With the knowledge we already have in-house, you will support customers in shaping the I&D scope 3 sustainability strategies and you will further develop our LYB value propositions in this. This gives you the opportunity to develop a broader perspective and skills such as leadership, problem solving, cultural awareness and decision making.

You lead the effort to collect accurate end-user application data for the region's I&D products and their potential impact on the I&D business. You advise the business and involve them in shaping the strategy.

You translate customer feedback into strategies and action plans for the end-use segments in collaboration with the Sales Business Development Manager, the C+CLS and the Sustainability organization.
