• Lead cross-functional projects across Commercial, Operations, Finance, Procurement, Legal, External Affairs, and external partners.

What You'll Bring

• Based in Taiwan, with strong local market knowledge and familiarity with the waste management and recycling ecosystem.
• Minimum 5 years in operations, product care, reverse logistics, sustainability, or program management, ideally in electronics, appliances, or consumer take-back programs.
• Commercial mindset with practical knowledge of recycling, waste management, and responsible product recovery.
• Proven vendor and contract management experience, with the ability to develop niche partners into reliable collaborators.
• Strong project management and stakeholder engagement skills, including comfort working with government and regulatory bodies.
