Life Cycle Assessment and Sustainability Manager

Manager – LCA & Sustainability

Location: Brussels, Belgium | Hybrid (2+ days on-site)

I am partnering with a leading global industry association to find a Manager – LCA & Sustainability for their Brussels office. This is a senior-level role with a strong technical focus — roughly 80% life cycle assessment (LCA) and carbon footprinting, with a smaller regulatory dimension (e.g. understanding the impact of policies like CBAM on member companies).

This position is perfect for someone who thrives in technical work — interpreting and updating LCA models, delivering high-quality data and insights, and shaping how sustainability is understood across a global value chain (nickel, stainless steel, batteries, automotive, electronics, etc.). You’ll work in a highly collaborative environment, reporting directly one of the senior staff members.

What You’ll Do

• Lead development, launch, and management of LCA-related activities (life cycle data, material flows, recycling rates, socio-economic data)
• Oversee environmental LCA calculations in line with ISO 14040/44, ISO 14067, GHG Protocol, European Commission PEF, and Global Battery Alliance rulebooks
• Interpret results and translate complex findings into actionable insights for members, regulators, downstream users, and standardisation bodies
• Contribute to industry guidance, protocols, and methodology development affecting nickel and its downstream sectors
• Collaborate with Brussels colleagues (science, policy, comms, market development) and international offices
• Represent the organisation in external forums and technical discussions

What We’re Looking For

• University degree in Environmental Engineering, Environmental Science, Chemical Engineering, Sustainability, or a related field
• 10+ years’ experience in life cycle management, carbon accounting, and LCA modelling
• Expertise with GaBi, SimaPro, or OpenLCA, and a strong grasp of LCA/GHG standards
• Ability to turn complex data into clear recommendations and communicate effectively with stakeholders
• Industrial experience preferred (consulting or academic backgrounds also considered if technically strong)
• Collaborative mindset and ability to work with a global team
• Willingness to be office-based at least 2 days per week and travel internationally (~2 trips per year)

What’s on Offer

• Base salary around €100,000 (up to €110,000 for the right candidate)
• 10–15% bonus, eco vouchers, meal vouchers, and health & wellness budget
• 29 days annual leave (plus additional seniority days after 5/10/15 years)
• Flexible hybrid work arrangement with a well-connected office
• Opportunity to take ownership of technical LCA projects and grow into wider advocacy work

Why This Role Matters

This is not a generic sustainability role — it’s a chance to be the technical expert driving life cycle strategy and shaping how sustainability frameworks apply to an entire global industry. You’ll have visibility with members, regulators, and industry bodies, and space to propose your own initiatives after your first year.
