EPR Program Ownership
Own TE's global EPR compliance program for Packaging, WEEE, and Batteries, with Packaging EPR as the immediate strategic priority given the pace of regulatory change globally.
Define the global strategy, governance model, and operating framework, establishing a pragmatic global baseline while managing country-specific requirements.
Ensure the program supports compliant product shipment, future regulatory readiness, and business scalability without linear growth in effort.
Regulatory Intelligence
Monitor, interpret, and communicate new and changing EPR requirements globally across EU, UK, North America, Latin America, and APAC.
Assess applicability by country, legal entity, product category, packaging type, and route-to-market.
Maintain a global obligations register, compliance calendar, and forward-looking implementation roadmap.
Translate regulatory requirements into clear, actionable guidance for business units and cross-functional partners.
Third-Party & Scheme Management
Manage TE's network of external EPR service providers, compliance schemes, and Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs) to fulfill registration, reporting, and scheme participation obligations across jurisdictions.
Define service scope, performance expectations, reporting cadence, and accountability with external partners.
Ensure all registrations, renewals, and scheme memberships are maintained accurately and on time.
Coordinate authorized representative arrangements where required.
Data Governance & Reporting
Define the data requirements and standards needed for EPR reporting across Packaging, WEEE, and Batteries.
Establish clear data ownership: Business units are accountable for ensuring accurate, complete, and timely data for their products and packaging; the EPR Lead owns the framework, standards, and reporting process.
Ensure reporting submissions are completed accurately and on time.
Maintain audit-ready records and supporting documentation across all jurisdictions.
Financial Stewardship
Forecast EPR fees and program costs by country, category, and business unit.
Partner with Finance on budgeting, invoice validation, and cost allocation.
Drive cost transparency and identify fee optimization opportunities through improved data quality, classification accuracy, and program design.
Governance & Controls
Develop and maintain SOPs, RACIs, and internal controls for EPR compliance.
Establish clear escalation paths for compliance risks, missed deadlines, or data quality issues.
Lead audit readiness and manage issue resolution and corrective actions.
Systems & Automation Enablement
Act as business lead for EPR data and process requirements across relevant systems.
Partner with TEIS to improve data integration and automate reporting workflows where possible.
Develop dashboards covering registration status, reporting deadlines, fee exposure, data completeness, and compliance risk.
Cross-Functional Leadership
Lead cross-functional execution across Engineering, Procurement, Supply Chain, Legal, Finance, Sustainability, TEIS, business units, and India Shared Services.
Drive clear accountability, training, and stakeholder engagement so that EPR considerations are embedded in product, packaging, sourcing, and go-to-market decisions.
Provide regular updates and escalation support to senior leadership.
What your background should look like
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Environmental Science, Finance, Sustainability Regulatory Affairs, or similar.
Demonstrated experience working with EPR schemes, product compliance or product stewardship in a global, multi-country context. Experience from a global electronics, industrial, or manufacturing company is preferred.
Hands-on experience with Packaging, WEEE, and/or Batteries EPR obligations including registrations, reporting, and scheme participation in Europe, U.S. states, Canada and Asia.
Proven ability to manage third-party service providers and compliance partners effectively.
Strong understanding of compliance data management, governance, and process design.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills across technical and non-technical audiences.
Strong leadership capability with proven ability to drive results through influence in a highly matrixed, global organization.
Competencies

What Does Success Look Like?
Success in this role means that TE's EPR obligations for Packaging, WEEE, and Batteries are met on time, every time – with no significant non-compliance events or missed regulatory deadlines. The right candidate will have built a well-governed program with full third-party and scheme coverage across all obligated jurisdictions, strong data completeness and accuracy driven by clear business unit accountability, and accurate fee forecasting that gives leadership confidence in EPR cost management. Beyond operational delivery, success means that EPR is embedded across TE's business decisions, regulatory changes are anticipated and acted on early, and the organization has the clarity, tools, and ownership structures needed to scale as EPR requirements continue to grow globally.
