• Strategic Sequencing & Scale-Up: Partner with Operations and R&D to sequence and de-risk EHS&S workstreams required for technology transfer and manufacturing scale-up. Identify and bridge cross-functional gaps before they impact commercial timelines.
• Metrics & Single Source of Truth: Design and maintain centralized enterprise databases, KPIs, and governance tools to ensure EHS&S metrics, compliance data, and goals are synchronized across the organization.
• Executive Communication & Risk Management: Act as the central point of accountability for enterprise EHS&S program health. Distill complex technical and regulatory risks into crisp briefings for executive leadership, proactively facilitating mitigation strategies for cross-program roadblocks.
• Cross-Functional Decision Facilitation: Lead steering committees composed of EHS&S site leads and other personnel to drive alignment on high-stakes EHS investments, corporate roadmaps, and risk prioritization.
The Corporate EHS&S Program Manager is a high-level leader responsible for working cross-functionally to steward the strategic direction, implementation, and health of Sila’s company-wide Environmental, Health, Safety, and Sustainability programs. Operating at the corporate level, this role does not manage day-to-day site operations; instead, you will architect the overarching EHS&S Management Systems, governance models, and compliance frameworks that enable Sila to safely develop and scale its technology across R&D and high-volume manufacturing.
As a master cross-functional orchestrator and executive communicator, you will lead through influence, partnering with EHS&S site managers, R&D, engineering, and operations to embed a rigorous culture of safety, health, and environmental stewardship into our commercial execution.
