Senior Environmental Specialists - Database Coordinator (EMEA)

Position is an interim – project related – 6 months (with the option to extend).

The number of regulations introducing safe use and sustainability requirements or restricting the use hazardous chemicals as such and as part of products (formulations, articles) in the EU has been increasing quickly over the past ten years. This trend is expected to continue. The EU REACH Regulation has been the major driver of this development. An important recent example in the EU is the SCIP database under the revised Waste Framework Directive, which includes a complex notification obligation for suppliers of articles containing certain hazardous substances starting from 5 January 2021.
Lenovo requires suppliers to identify if any Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) present in an Article at or above the 0.1% weight by weight (w/w) concentration and report the name and CAS number of the SVHC in Full Material Disclosure (FMD) via the Green Data Exchange (GDX).

The role requires a mid-range level of maturity and self-management to work independently in a virtual global team. A high-level analytic understanding and willingness to learn is expected.
Skills in data management using standard tools based on MS office are required. At least basic MS Excel skills are a mandatory requirement.

• Fluent English language skills required;
• Chinese language is considered a plus and very welcomed as the cooperation with Chinese suppliers will be essential part of the daily business;
• Student acceptable; experience in working on sustainability and/or circular economy is considered a plus;
• Willingness and ability to learn new things quickly and continuously.

Travel is not a key requirement.
