Summary

We’re a team of dedicated and smart people united by a drive to achieve together.

Specifically, you will be focusing on governance, green chemistry and “license to operate” topics, incl. health and environment. You will collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders across the organization and ensure that Novartis has a policy view in place to drive legislation and regulation relevant to ESG and License to Operate.

  • Proactively monitor and scan the ESG policy landscape, conducting structured & predictive policy horizon scanning to anticipate future developments in the ESG and license to operate policy landscape and identify which priority legislations around ESG and license to operate to shape, and articulate clear Novartis policy asks.
  • Identify opportunities for targeted advocacy in the EU, working closely with the Region Europe PA team.
  • Act as Global Public Affairs point of coordination with the ESG Office. Coordinate targeted, cross-functional internal expert groups to assess policy impacts of new developments around ESG and License to Operate Policy.
  • Support relevant function- or business-led ESG initiatives from a Public Affairs perspective (e.g., with Global Health, Value & Access, Environmental Sustainability, Diversity Equity & Inclusion, Human Rights, Ethics & Compliance, key Country Management and more).
  • Represent Novartis in key trade associations in working groups focused on environmental policy and license to operate topics, incl. IFPMA.

What you’ll bring to the role:

ESSENTIAL CRITERIA

  • Strong understanding of the regulatory and legislative environment in the EU and US, particularly around ESG and License to Operate topics. Understanding of other major geographies is an advantage, e.g. China, Japan.
  • Strong knowledge of ESG topics and current ESG landscape incl. reporting.
  • Expertise in ESG policy, particularly as it applies to environment and governance issues ex-US and license to operate topics.
  • Understanding of enterprise strategy and strategy development processes and ability to convert insight into strategic recommendations.
  • External orientation, with a strong external network and excellent interpersonal and partnering skills with excellent Business and organizational awareness, enterprise perspective. Ability to collaborate and work effectively in a global matrix organization.
