About The Position

As part of the Corporate Governance Health, Safety & Environment (HS&E) Group, the Senior Environmental Remediation Manager leads and manages a portfolio of environmentally impaired sites globally. Expertise and mastery in site characterization and remediation in fractured and unconsolidated media in various geologic settings are utilized to implement cost-effective, innovative solutions to address site cleanup, and to deliver value to the business by reducing P&G’s environmental risk and liabilities. This role also performs environmental due diligence for real estate acquisition or divestiture and works closely with internal stake holders (P&G Legal, P&G Purchasing, Finance & Accounting (F&A), P&G Real Estate, Business Unit (BU) Management, Communications (COM), Manufacturing (MFG) Plants personnel, and Research & Development (R&D)), and external stake holders (Environmental Consultants, Regulatory Agencies, third party private property owners, municipalities, and others) to mitigate risks and reduce long term project costs. The Senior Environmental Remediation Manager is accountable for defining and executing remediation strategies that are scientifically robust, regulatorily defensible, and cost‑effective, while delivering long‑term value to the business through reduction of environmental risk and liabilities. The role operates at the intersection of advanced technical decision‑making, regulatory engagement, financial stewardship, and corporate risk management, with sustained interaction across senior internal stakeholders (P&G Legal, Finance & Accounting (F&A), Purchasing (PUR), Real Estate, Manufacturing (MFG), Communications (COM), and Research & Development (R&D)) and key external stakeholders (regulatory agencies, technical consultants, municipalities, third‑party property owners, and community representatives). In addition to serving as the senior owner of the South Boston Manufacturing Center (SBMC) remediation program, this role maintains responsibility for targeted global remediation and due diligence activities, including continued leadership on priority matters in Brazil, ensuring global consistency in governance, compliance, and execution. The Senior Manager is responsible for managing and overseeing consulting firms and contractors performing work for P&G. This includes developing long‑range remediation strategies and budget forecasts, preparing annual projections of environmental expenditures to support reserve estimates, and documenting and justifying environmental liability reserves for internal leadership and external auditors. This role partners closely with F&A on the annual review of Asset Retirement Obligations (ARO) and un‑recorded environmental liabilities associated with active manufacturing sites. The role also works with P&G Purchasing (PUR) to procure specialized technical consultants and contractors appropriate to the scale and complexity of the work and to conduct formal performance reviews. The Senior Environmental Remediation Manager provides mastery‑level leadership for the Environmental Remediation Program, working collaboratively with other Remediation and HSE leaders. Responsibilities include long‑term planning, execution oversight, and integration of environmental protection considerations into business decision‑making. This leader is a key technical advisor on substances of interest (including emerging contaminants), supports risk‑based decision frameworks, evaluates preventive strategies, and contributes to assessments associated with new materials and innovation programs. The overarching objective is to protect P&G employees, communities, and the environment— today and into the future.
