About the role

BIC is accelerating a long-term transformation agenda to make sustainable development, circularity and new business models operational, scalable and economically viable across its categories.

We are looking for a Senior Manager, PMO Sustainable Development, New Business & Lobbying to act as a true transformation catalyst for this agenda. This is a senior, hands-on role designed to bring structure, pace, clarity and new ideas to one of BIC’s most strategic long-term priorities: turning circularity and sustainable development ambitions into concrete, industrially feasible and value-creating solutions.

The role will initially focus on supporting the ramp-up of the Lighter Sustainable Development plan, before helping adapt key learnings across Stationery, Shavers and Brushes. This is not a simple copy-paste exercise. Each category has its own products, materials, manufacturing constraints, quality requirements, business model challenges and stakeholder landscape.

This is also not a traditional reporting PMO role. The successful candidate will be expected to go beyond tracking actions and milestones. They will help structure complex problems, unlock blockers, simplify decision-making, challenge constructively, bring fresh thinking and create the conditions for teams to move faster and more effectively.

The role requires strong industrial understanding, transformation maturity, intellectual curiosity and the ability to influence without direct authority across functions, categories, plants and geographies.

Why this role matters

BIC has already built significant experience in circularity through the Lighter roadmap. This journey has involved several years of scientific research, industrial trials, external expertise, collection models, recycling and dismantling options, quality considerations and business model testing.

The next challenge is to accelerate, structure and scale this work while avoiding unnecessary delays and duplicated effort. The role will help ensure that BIC can learn from what has already been done, adapt the right principles to other categories, and build robust category-specific roadmaps for the future.

The mission is highly strategic: to help BIC prepare for the next decade by making sustainable development operational, scalable and economically viable.

Key responsibilities

Structure and animate the Sustainable Development transformation roadmap

You will help build and operationalize the project architecture required to manage a complex, multi-year transformation program.

This includes defining governance routines, milestones, deliverables, dependencies, risks, decision points, budgets, documentation and progress tracking. You will help make sure that the roadmap is clear, actionable and robust enough for teams to progress over time.

Accelerate and stabilize the Lighter circularity roadmap

You will support the acceleration of the Lighter Sustainable Development plan, helping the team move from pilot stage towards broader deployment.

This includes coordinating workstreams linked to scientific research, collection, recycling, dismantling, revalorization, production integration, Quality-Control, industrial constraints and financial viability.

A key challenge will be to help verify that what works in pilot can work at scale, while anticipating risks, resource constraints and operational derailers as the roadmap expands.

Adapt circularity learnings across Stationery, Shavers and Brushes

You will help translate the Lighter experience into practical, category-specific transformation roadmaps.

This will require strong problem-solving capability, as each category brings a different level of complexity. Stationery, for example, has a much broader product range and may require a selective, phased approach. Shavers and Brushes will require their own analysis of feasibility, industrial constraints, dismantling, recycling and business model potential.

The role requires someone able to bring structure without oversimplifying, and new ideas without losing sight of operational reality.

Influence and mobilize without direct authority

You will animate a broad network of contributors across categories, plants, support function
