Deploying strategic corporate programs such as a sustainable procurement program, can be challenging for organizations as it requires systematic cultural change and stakeholder adoption in often highly complex procurement organizations with large supply chains. To ensure the customer gets to the benefits and to the ROI of their EcoVadis SaaS solutions early on, it is critical that all impacted employees, mostly procurement teams, understand how the program works, what they are requested to do and how to integrate EcoVadis in their procurement policies, processes and technologies. The EcoVadis onboarding team accompanies customers through a series of guided workshops, meetings, and topics, designed to set up a strong and successful foundation for their sustainable procurement goals with EcoVadis.

The Associate Customer Onboarding Manager reports to Senior Manager, Customer Onboarding and the scope of the role is as follows:

As an Associate Customer Onboarding Manager you will work with a diverse set of large multinational companies in the Northern European (mainly UK, Benelux, Nordics) market to ensure they have the foundations needed to maximize the value of EcoVadis as an important piece of their sustainable procurement initiative.
